The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning.
-- M. Scott Peck
This is one of those that at first appears rather self-evident. But, what struck me about it (other than the reference to learning and other thoughts posted this week on the 'the mind') is that I don't believe, for the better part of my life, I viewed it that way. Spirituality, for me, had been more of a construct of principles of some sort. One either did or did not work their way through the pile of them, but they were available for acquisition, if one were so disciplined.
Now, however, I see the developmental nature of spirituality, perhaps because of the same nature I see more and more of in all realms of life. In other words, to grow (in any respect), we must engage the process of learning. And that is a whole-being exercise...that is never over.
