We start by identifying with our bodies and self-images, seeking security and safety. We then focus on external behavior, trying to look good and hiding our flaws. Our thoughts and feelings become central, and we control them to appear better. We move to deeper intuitions and felt knowledge, finding breakthrough yet risking stagnation. Facing our shadow self, we confront our weaknesses. Feeling empty and powerless, we enter the "dark night of the soul," awaiting God. We realize we're more than we thought, experiencing the waning of the false self and rise of the True Self. Ultimately, we live in God's image, embracing serenity and freedom.
