True spiritual maturity


True spiritual maturity means to stand in the moment completely naked of attachment to any and all ideas, concepts, hopes, preferences, and experiences. Stop running away from yourself and simply be. By ceasing to follow the mind's tendency to always want 'more', be 'different' or 'better', one encounters the opportunity to be still. In being still, a perspective is revealed which is free from all ignorance and bondage to suffering. This is an invitation to discover eternal, unborn, undying Truth of Being. The truth of Being, your own self. Let the entire movement of becoming end, and discover That which has always been present at the core of your own Being.
