Nietzsche's three metamorphoses of the spirit are the camel, the lion, and the baby. Each of these metamorphoses are how a spirit grows and develops as it matures.
Camel: The camel is our spirit, weighted with the burdens of our past and present lives. The camel wanders alone, carrying more than it can bear through an endless desert.

Lion: The camel becomes a lion when it masters the desert. It fights our burdens and conquers. The lion lightens the soul masters the desert alone. To further the lion's need for victory, it seeks out the Dragon. The dragon will be named "Thou shalt" and the lion will be "I will." The dragon stands in it's way like an obstacle, each one of its scales shining with values, thousands of years old. When the dragon and lion come together, the dragon prevails because the lion is survival instincts. The lion helps us reach for what we need, and understand the rightful values.

Baby: When the lion becomes a baby, it reaches an entirely new beginning. It is to forget, to uncover, the souls true self and to rules the spirit by itself. Without other masters ruling its life.
