This made me realize that spiritual development is indeed a big subject. I hope to see this further develop into a mature science so that we can move beyond theories and come up with evidence-based explanation (based on psychology and biology) of human spiritual development. If this happens, this is a better alternative to religion classes in high school and college. Thank you for your interesting comment.

They all use different terminology and have different numbers of stages. Most don't even use the word "stage" but on close inspection, the correlations can be seen. I am in the process of delineating these correlations on my site: http://www.exploring-spiritual-development.com.
