Human Development
Seven stages of life
Description:
According to Master Da Love Ananda (formerly Da Free John), although to the fully enlightened adept there is no need for a spiritual path of seeking, since the seeker is always already in the condition to which he aspires, there appears to the unenlightened ego to be a series of stages in which realization is achieved. In fact, these are said to be the progressive falling away of illusions or superimpositions on reality. Most individuals are arrested at the first three stages, physical, emotional and mental. Only when maturity at these three stages is reached, with the will directed away from self-centredness towards the social and religious, does further self-development take place.Broader:
