We all admire people we believe are spiritually mature and we want to know how to reach that same spiritual maturity for ourselves. We first must recognize that spiritual maturity is not a destination we reach, but rather a lifelong journey!
There is no guru who can lead us there. There is no list of 5 easy steps to forever transform your life. It is an ongoing process that involves becoming intimate with your fears and enjoying the contradictions and ironies in life. It is about letting go of some things (ouch!) and grabbing hold of some things you never dreamed of!
Authentic spirituality is about exploration, not escape. It is about being open to the many ways the sacred speaks to us. It involves introspection rather than distractions of the world. It involves serving more than being served. It is a journey of discovery, decision, and dedication. And once you start the journey, you can only go forward. Going back just doesn't work.
Let's start that journey together now!
I'll hold the high watch!
