http://www.manchesterbuddhistcentre.org.uk/sangha/talks/the-five-great-stages-of-the-spiritual-path-integration-and-wholeness-3.html

"Second in a series of talks on the five great stages of spir­itual exper­i­ence that develop and unfold as we pro­gress on the Path to Enlightenment

In this talk Day­anandi cov­ers the first of the five stages — integ­ra­tion and whole­ness. Integration takes place in both hori­zontal and ver­tical directions.

This and sub­sequent talks explore the par­tic­u­lar char­ac­ter and qual­ites of each stage, show­ing how each evolves out of the pre­vi­ous one and is the found­a­tion for later stages of the Path.

Talk given at Manchester Buddhist Centre on 7th March 2011"
