There
are a few lenses through which I have chosen to look at life-cycle completion on the journey to maturity and the ‘philosophic mind’:
- Hindu ashramas
- Erikson’s life stages
- Fowler's stages of faith development
- Tornstam's theory of gerotranscendence
- Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami's chakra focus through the life cycle
- Jung's views on life experience
- Zalman Schacter-Shalomi's spiritual eldering
- Native eldering
