Dictionary - Stage
Dream Interpretation Stage A stage in the dreams may indicate your need for more respect and attention. Dreaming of standing on stage denotes that before you have success, you need to work for it first. Seeing other people being on stage means that you are envious, but it is hard to accept it. Sometimes a stage is a symbol of our life where different people like actors play certain roles. In order to interpret this dream in a better way, try to look for other symbols and meanings and correlate them with the stage symbol.

Buddhism
Enlightenment Dictionary on Six stages of practice Six stages of practice (Jpn.: roku-soku) Also, six identities. Six stages in the practice of the Lotus Sutra formulated by T'ien-t'ai (538-597) in Great Concentration and Insight. They are as follows: (1) The stage of being a Buddha in theory. At this stage one has not yet heard the correct teaching and is ignorant of Buddhism. Nevertheless, a single moment of life is in itself identical to the truth of the matrix of the Thus Come One; in other words, one is a potential Buddha. (2) The stage of hearing the name and words of the truth. At this stage through the spoken or written word one comes to an intellectual understanding that one has the Buddha nature and that all phenomena are manifestations of the Buddhist Law. This may take place through reading or hearing the words of the sutras. (3) The stage of perception and action. Here one perceives the truth of the Buddha nature within oneself through practice, the truth and the wisdom to perceive it are in accord with each other, and one's words match one's actions. (4) The stage of resemblance to enlightenment. At this stage, one eliminates the first two of the three categories of illusion and attains purification of the six sense organs. Having advanced this far, one's wisdom resembles that of a Buddha. In terms of the fifty-two stages of practice, this stage corresponds to the first ten stages, the ten stages of faith. (5) The stage of progressive awakening. This is the stage at which one eradicates all illusions except fundamental darkness and awakens progressively to the truth of one's Buddha nature. In terms of the fifty-two stages, it corresponds to the eleventh (the first stage of security) through the fifty-first (the stage of near-perfect enlightenment). (6) The stage of ultimate enlightenment, or the highest stage of practice. At this stage, one finally eliminates fundamental darkness and fully manifests the Buddha nature. This corresponds to the stage of perfect enlightenment, the last of the fifty-two stages. T'ien-t'ai taught that all people at whatever stage of practice are equally endowed with the potential for Buddhahood. In this way he prevented his disciples from falling into the error of self-deprecation or becoming discouraged. On the other hand, possessing the Buddha nature is not the same as attaining Buddhahood. T'ien-t'ai therefore divided practice into six progressive stages to prevent his disciples from falling into the error of arrogance and relaxing their efforts. In Great Concentration and Insight, he states: "If one lacks faith, one will object that it pertains to the lofty realm of the sages, something far beyond the capacity of one's own wisdom to understand. If one lacks wisdom, one will become puffed up with arrogance and will claim to be the equal of the Buddha." The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings gives Nichiren's (1222-1282) interpretation of the six stages of practice: "Speaking in terms of the six stages of practice, the Thus Come One in this 'Life Span' chapter is an ordinary mortal who is in the first stage, that of being a Buddha in theory. When one reverently accepts Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, one is in the next stage, that of hearing the name and words of the truth. That is, one has for the first time heard the daimoku. When, having heard the daimoku, one proceeds to put it into practice, this is the third stage, that of perception and action. In this stage, one perceives the object of devotion that embodies the three thousand realms in a single moment of life. When one succeeds in overcoming various illusions and obstacles, this is the fourth stage, that of resemblance to enlightenment. When one sets out to convert others, this is the fifth stage, that of progressive awakening. And when one comes at last to the realization that one is a Buddha eternally endowed with the three bodies, then one is a Buddha of the sixth and highest stage, that of ultimate enlightenment. "Speaking of the chapter as a whole, the idea of gradually overcoming delusions is not the ultimate meaning of the 'Life Span' chapter. You should understand that the ultimate meaning of this chapter is that ordinary mortals, just as they are in their original state of being, are Buddhas. "And if you ask what is the action or practice carried out by the Buddha eternally endowed with the three bodies, it is Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

Alternative
Health Dictionary on Twelve stages of healing twelve stages of healing: extraordinary approach to healing physical, mental, and spiritual ills. Its developer, Donald M. Epstein, founded Network Spinal Analysis. His theory posits twelve stages of consciousness common to all humanity. Nearly all of Epstein's stages involve: (a) yoga- or Qigong-like exercises, and (b) ) declarations. For example, the first stage (Suffering) involves declaring: Right now, I am helpless and Nothing works at this time. In The Twelve Stages of Healing: A Network Approach to Wholeness (1994), Epstein states: The most appropriate response to Suffering is to stop thinking about its causes. The seventh stage involves declaring: Oooh, Ahhh, and Whooosh. The ninth stage involves declaring, I experience my vital force; and the eleventh stage, May it be on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Enlightenment Dictionary on Fifty-two stages of bodhisattva practice Fifty-two stages of bodhisattva practice (Jpn.: gojuni-i) Also, fifty-two stages of practice. The stages through which bodhisattvas advance from the time of their initial resolve until they finally attain Buddhahood. The fifty-two stages are enumerated in the Jeweled Necklace Sutra and consist of ten stages of faith, ten stages of security, ten stages of practice, ten stages of devotion, ten stages of development, the stage of near-perfect enlightenment, and the stage of perfect enlightenment. The Brahma Net Sutra divides bodhisattva practice into forty stages. The Benevolent Kings Sutra divides it into fifty-one stages, and there is an explanation elsewhere that sets forth forty-one stages.

Enlightenment Dictionary on Four stages of Hinayana enlightenment Four stages of Hinayana enlightenment (Jpn.: shi-ka) Also, four stages of enlightenment or four fruits. Four levels of enlightenment that voice-hearers aim to attain, according to the Hinayana teachings. In ascending order, they are - the stage of the stream-winner (Skt srotaapanna ),
- the stage of the once-returner (sakridagamin),
- the stage of the non-returner (anagamin), and
- the stage of arhat.
The stage of the stream-winner indicates one who has entered the stream of the sages, in other words, the river leading to nirvana. At this stage, one has eradicated the illusions of thought in the threefold world. At the stage of the once-returner, one has eradicated six of the nine illusions of desire in the world of desire. Due to the remaining illusions, one will be born next in the realm of heavenly beings and then once again in the human world before entering nirvana; hence the name once-returner. Someone at the stage of the non-returner has eliminated the other three illusions of desire and will not be reborn in the world of desire. At the stage of arhat, one has eliminated all the illusions of thought and desire in the threefold world and has freed oneself from transmigration in the threefold world or the six paths.

Social Studies Dictionary - Erickson's Stages of Psychosocial Development Definition and meaning of Erickson's Stages of Psychosocial Development Erickson's Stages of Psychosocial Development - [Psychology] In contrast to Sigmund Freud's psychosexual theory of development, Eric Erickson developed a psychosocial theory. Freud traced early childhood development through a series of stages during which the child learned to control sexual and aggressive urges. The stages include the oral, the anal, and the genital. During the phallic stage boys and girls vie with their parents for the attention of the parent of the opposite sex. In boys this is the Oedipal conflict and in girls it is the Electra Complex. Freud argued that boys often identify with their mothers and girls with their fathers because they see it as a way to be closer to the opposite-sex parent. Erikson recognizes a child's sexual and aggressive urges, the focus of Freud's theory, but Erikson considers the need for social approval to be just as strong. Erikson also views development as a lifelong process. There are eight interrelated stages in psychosocial theory, all of which are organized around a person's ability to direct needs, desires and talents in ways which are socially acceptable and which further feelings of self-confidence. The eight stages include: Trust v. Mistrust (ages 0-1); Autonomy v. Doubt (ages 1-2); Initiative v. Guilt (ages 2-5); Industry v. Inferiority (ages 5-Puberty); Identity v. Role Confusion (Adolescence); Intimacy v. Isolation (Early Adulthood); Generativity v. Stagnation (Middle Age); Integrity v. Despair (Later Adulthood).

Spiritual Dictionary on Stage Hypnosis Stage Hypnosis: The use of hypnosis (or an imitation of hypnosis) for the purpose of entertainment. Although there are some similarities with the professional use of hypnosis to help people make changes in their lives, the differences far outweigh the similarities and have given many people a completely false impression as to the nature of hypnosis and hypnotherapy. As a result, hypnotherapists need to spend time with clients exploding the myths that surround hypnosis as a result of such shows.
