Parry was at the fifth stage, that of self-realization. Parry had love, a great job as a teacher, personal growth and beauty. Parry got lost at the bottom and struggled to get to the next step until he met Jack. It hasn't been an easy climb for Parry. Parry would step forward and the Red Knight would come and push him all the way, until the day Jack, Lydia, Parry's new love and Parry's friend would help him achieve belonging and need of love. In the film Parry never reaches the top of the pyramid but you can tell he is happy and satisfied with how his life has gone.
