Signs of maturity to look for

[Rose]

I have been thinking about this for some time. I think most of the adults have the old age, but psychology of children.

 

Here are some signs of maturity I can think of:

- A mature mind can hold multiple truths simultaneously, even opposing.
- Desire to find one truth is replaced with desire to expand and challenge one’s worldview.

- Strong discomfort is felt when one is becoming rigid/clingy to any belief 

- Motivation comes from direct incentives/inspiration rather than reward/punishment systems.

What are some of your thoughts?

Acknowledging & feeling emotions, as not to deflect, project, argue, stress, create conflict, get in your own way,  etc. 

Honesty as opposed to denial. 

Empathy & compassion. 

Self-reflection / introspection / emotionally available. 

Conscientiousness.

@Rose stated some very high-level insights here in my opinion.  You have to have emotional mastery and relationship mastery to be at the higher levels of consciousness.  The Feminine needs to be integrated significantly.  The Feminine is about the link or relation whereas the Masculine is about the node or thing.

This is cognitive dissonance (there aren’t multiple truths).

Expanding & challenging one’s worldview is the dispelling of the world; the uncovering of truth.

Becoming is aversion, indicative of immaturity.

Motivation is obscures inspiration.
