On Spiritual Maturity Pt. 1


There comes a point in your life when you will no longer need an external authority to tell you what to do. Right now, the world still operates off an external authority system rather than an inner guidance system. As you become mature in your spiritual thinking, you will not be afraid of listening to your own inner guidance. Though you may seek the wisdom of others, ultimately, you will rest back into the bed of your gut feeling. This is the power of spiritual maturity.

The challenge of spiritual maturity is releasing limiting beliefs that have plagued the consciousness of mankind for centuries. Part of maturity is confronting the shadow beliefs that limit your potential for wholeness, greater love, and understanding of All There Is. We are surrounded by the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs of individuals, groups, and media that tells us different from what our intuition says: "Go the other way. Come. Listen." The child who once suffered at the hands of the Parent/Elite Authority must grow up and throw away the crutches of fear and ignorance and create a New Way.

Many people around the world are remembering to listen to their inner authority. They are allowing themselves to shed the skin of their fears and move into creating lives based upon this awakening. This awakening to a new authority will not be taken lightly for there will be those who seek to uphold the old model of authority and as we see in many parts of the world, enforcement officers will be lurking abound.

Be not afraid as you grow in your spiritual maturity. Face those with badges, sticks, and guns with loving arms. This is your path of spiritual maturity, the way of remembering the authentic You. You are not bound by the authority of any other. Listen to your own wisdom and knowledge.

The path of spiritual maturity recognizes the power of finding your highest right and what's true for you and not what relgion, science, and government tells you. Trust your own abilties to steer the expansion of your consciousness. It is there if you look closer. It is there if you will choose to see it. It is there if you intend it. It is there if you notice it.

You don't have to give up things of the world. You can be 'ordinary' while feeling extraordinary. Spiritual maturity doesn't mean giving up the fun and joy of life for a boring reality that dreads the shadow of time and space. It is perception. It is transcedence. It is the courage to move beyond the wounds of your inner child and embrace a new philosophy of life that is your own. Most of all, it is the birth of your personal freedom.

And the beginning of the rainbow.

Happy travels on the path of spiritual maturity, my friend.-M.L.F
