This painting shows the steps which everyone must go through to become one with him/herself, find salvation, find nirvana, become one with God, call it whatever you like. This doesn't mean that everyone must face a pink dragon or fight with a dotted red lionlike figure to accomplish this. What it means is that these beings and situations are metaphysical and takes place on another plane and show themselves in this world like situations and coincidences that may look quite ordinary or even boring at the first look. What these situations do anyway is that they tell their participants a little about themselves and the world.
