That is, learn to turn our gaze inward, increasing self-knowledge and awareness of their own mental and emotional patterns. This "awareness" addresses the psychological elements involved that cause concern and often suffering. From this point, the subject begins to be able to take advantage of the immense wealth and opportunity that his criticism "personal situation" offers. "The thing that irritates us about others is what can lead to a better understanding of ourselves." (Carl Jung)
2. Second stage: Reprogramming and relativization of one's ego. At this stage the subject learns to name their different internal parts and proceed to recreate new thought patterns to be derived from the afterlife of his personal self. In this phase, individuals learn to connect with their true needs and choose what you want to live, finding that what happens in your mind is because an intimate process of "interpretation of reality." From this point, the subject simply by becoming aware of a new horizon and vital in the construction of which could intervene and choose. "What matters is not what happens but how we interpret". (Lair Ribeiro)

As it progresses, the subject is recognized as spiritual being manifested in the Witness Consciousness. From this level, sense of life purpose and the purpose of their own future, so that mistakes are seen as learning experiences to casual not the awakening of consciousness. "You're a human being on a spiritual adventure, but a spiritual creature in a human adventure." (Teilhard de Chardin)
