The mastery of a stage is not required to advance to the next stage.

When a person successfully completes a level he/she emerges

from the stage with the corresponding virtue or character development for that stage. They

then carry that virtue/characteristic into the next stage. When a stage is

not completed they enter into the next stage underdeveloped and carry that void into the subsequent stage..

you what He designed
