According to a very wise and ancient civilization, here is a list of the evolutionary stages that self-development of a human being goes through :
The process of miracles
THE 12 STAGES OF CREATION OF NEW SELF.
The private space:
1) The Wandering:
Where we come from, why, our purpose and gathering our "tools". We search for the external interests of our soul.
2) Beginning :
Preparing our own path, each one different and hopefully centering. Every change of the self of the individual is through the interaction with the collective of the other individuals and of our and their souls.
3) Honoring:
Understanding the Source of our creation, the spirit the consiusness. Recognizing the sacred in oneself begining with the inner sacred cosiousness. . The main source and causality of creation of new self is though from the inside to outside, for the spirit and consiousness to the material mortal personality.
4) Stating Intention: Realizing and acknowledging ones true purpose to create Self. The expression of the goal, either classified as private or sharing it publicly with others creates also a commitment, accountability and conscious awareness
5.1) Surrender : Letting go of control to allow vulnerability and influence to th epersonality from the soul. To learn what is already known to the soul consiousness. The process is both passive and active. It is both control but also surrendering to the presence of the existence and freedom from all the three , the past the present and the future. The exact process of creation or evolution of new self is initially unknown in its details and is unpredictable.
5.2) Embrace our own hidden-self :
Walking into the unknown and dark parts of Self, the unknown mortal and immortal consiousness. Being and becoming the Void. Maybe the sought new self , already was in an unknown incarnated past , and has left memory images in our soul and cells of the body. Therefore it maybe an unconscious knowledge as unconscious memory not recognized as our own. Now it changes which actions, emotions, feelings, thoughts , awareness, will , beliefs and spirit we consider as self and our own and which as not self and not our own. We re-scan the spectrum of self from the having to acting, to feeling, to expressing, to thinking to believing and to being aware.
6) Lighting the Flame in the Heart: Connecting to Self and finding meaningful, honest, ritual. Creating by meditation the coherence of the heart and mind which enhances the strong magnetic field of the heart center and gives favorable emotions and winds to the mind. Introspection , music , arts and sciences and inner exploration helps to keep trying. Proven small steps toward the goal of new self, as applying faith, helps to keep alive the belief that the goal of new self will eventually occur. We experience in advance the feelings and emotions that we will have when the new self will be created.
7) Transformation: Climbing the ladder of self-responsibility, to hold a vision of Being in One-ness, Being the vision that alters all perception of self, the world and the others. The goal of the new self is within a greater collective vision and is both increased self-responsibility but also increased responsibility for others. It is a growing and magnification of self and the collective. It is also evolution of psychic consciousness.
The public space:
8) Becoming more Human: Empathy and compassion toward all. Being in truly responsible relationships. The physical , living and existential environment is also a leverage for our own changes of self.
9) Walking The Path: Integrating all of life's experiences. Being a teacher by Being. The soul embraces. The meaning of living and of the experiences changes. Consistency creates momentum and reliability.
10) Service: Discarding the illusion of separateness. Total approach to life in humility and joy. The soul consciousness prevails and is union with the other living souls of the other existences in synergy and good reputation. It is leverage and integration.
11) Believing in , honoring, and servicing the deeper Existence has been creating new self, and the goal of existence is to exist always in better ways. Giving value and practice to this Existence is the creation of new Self.
The new self is created at four (4) levels in our existence.
1) At first by introducing new life-long goals and intentions, and new global metaphors for the world. (The spiritual self) . Here we understand that : Although a goal would depend on a set of causes, that most of them are not ours and many of them would be the sronger factors, still , among them there is also our personal factor and cause, and by appropriating it , together with the other causes that a re not from us it can result to the desired goal. This is stated very often with an exaggeration that wea re 100% responsible for our fate.
2) Second by functioning with new thoughts, and feelings.(The mind)
3) Third by conducting new activities. (The subtle physical) Both the 2) and 3) create a new personality. The tool and power to change the personality is through appropriate meditation and the collective inlimited consiousness and intelligence
4) And forth by resulting in to new possessions, as responsible interaction at subtle and coarse material levels. (The gross physical)
The passage from the one level to the next and the overall coordination is though the virtue of congruence.
Probably
one of the most difficult parts in creating self, is when this self is part of
the evolution of the collective consciousness a whole civilization, in
which case tuning to it, and being appreciated and honored is the most
difficult part.
In a less developed stage of civilization, the individuals fulfill themselves by having.
In a little more development stage of civilization, the individuals fulfill themselves by doing.
In an more advanced development stage of civilization, the individuals fulfill themselves by thinking and feeling.
In a little more development stage of civilization, the individuals fulfill themselves by doing.
In an more advanced development stage of civilization, the individuals fulfill themselves by thinking and feeling.
In a even more advanced development stage of civilization, the individuals fulfill themselves by being.
The ego of a personality seems to be the agent that decides and separates what we consider as self and what we consider collective consciousness and non-self.
The levels, be, think, do, have, define correspondingly among different human beings, not only different levels selves, but also different level of egos.
The lower type of ego is linked with what we have and what we have not (usually private property)
The bit less lower type of ego, is linked with what we do , our actions and what we do not do.
A higher type of ego, is linked with what we think and write or produce in creative work, and what not.
And an even higher type of ego , is linked with what we consider spiritual self, life-long intention and what not.
It seems that our existence is in may layers, L1,L2,L3...Ln, and the lowest L1 is the gross physical body we know. The higher the layer, the less complete or developed. The more we evolve, the more the higher layers are organized acquire autonomy and self-sufficiency. This means being aware of more, being able of more, and more freedom. But this process of development is not automatic, it requires are self-conscious creative will. The more the higher layers are developed, the more we play a more important larger scale role in the lower layer. In other words, so as to develop layers L2, L3 etc, we must join the collective in society in the L1 layer. We meed allies and other existences that have already acquired self and more aware existence in the higher layers.
According to the mythologist Joseph Campbell, all hero's journeys are in a bold way from 6-phases: (see also the book by Micahel Ray, "The Highest Goal" 2004, chapter 2)
1) Innocence
2) The call .
From here a downward orbit in our good fate starts. And somewhere in he bottom of this orbit we reach the 3rd step:
3) Initiation. (initiation means that our consiousness can master ow the required more subtle material life)
Then we may still go further worse. But gradually we start improving, by seeking and coordination with what is the 4th step:
4) Allies.
We further improve till we get even better than the initial stage of innocence, and thus we have reached the 5th stage:
5) Breakthrough.
Then we stabilize in the new higher laevel and conclude with the 6th stage:
6) Celebration.
In learning anything from a musical instriment, a language, a science, an art etc during all our lives the next principles are involved:
10) The principle of non-compromised privacy during the process of learning. This is also relevant to the previous principle of self-esteem and freedom of experimentation.

The next are 11 principles that are involved in learning how to learn
LEARNING HOW TO LEARN DURING ALL OF OUR LIVES IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY SINGLE SPECIALIZED LEARNING OUTCOME.
IN LEARNING HOW TO LEARN THE NEXT 11 PRINCIPLES ARE INVOLVED.
1) The Principle that the result of learning will contribute to the evolution of our imortal soul consiousness and society. Any form of learning is also creation of new self. The better we know ourselves the better we know how to learn.
2) The principle that any form of organised learning is a case of worthy goal setting which leads to a permanent happiness through the gradual stepwise realization of the goal.
3) The Principle of least time and energy for learning but also the freedhom of time to experiment in an original and discovering way.
4) The Principle of most easy method as far as the memory and spending energy in practice is concerned.
5) The Principle of most simple , smart and abstract intellectual perception and organization of the thought of the learning material that is desired to learn with the maximum number of relevant cross-correlations beteen them and other disciplines and sciences or arts.
6) The principle of maximum utilization of the traditional or innovative collective intelligence and experience of the civilization about the learning area.
7) The principle of maximum utilization of the learned material so far, and all learning in all areas we have.
8) The Principle of emotions and maximum pleasure while learning (so that serotonin and dopamine are created in the nervous system so as to have the creation of nerve synapses that is the subconsious ability and memory and desire for more learning). The learning process must be a positive experience that feeds with energy itself.
9) The principle of not learning in an order and method that the reduces self-esteem but in the contrary utilzing an order and method with organized thinking and action so that in enhances self-esteem while gradually achieving results and approaching the goal with excellence , so that it is also a permanent way of happiness.
10) The principle of non-compromised privacy during the process of learning. This is also relevant to the previous principle of self-esteem and freedom of experimentation.
11) Principle of optimal socialization with honoring and appraisal of the process and results of learning so that learning is also an increased social honor.
12) The awarenress of the 80/20 rule in learning: More than 80% of the learning outcome is discovered and obtained from less than 20% of the learned material or learning time and effort.
