Emotional and Spiritual Maturity
by Jennifer Hoffman
==============================
Most of us would define ourselves as mature adults,
usually in control of our emotions. Then something happens and we surprise ourselves at how quickly and thoroughly we can
fall apart, our emotions scrambled, feeling so out of control that we wonder whether we will ever be normal again. How did
we go from feeling mature and in control to immature and out of control? The answer lies in whether we are spiritually or
emotionally mature and how we ground that energy in our life.
Many clients ask me why their lessons are so
challenging. My response is that it appears that way because the most challenging lessons always involve something that really
matters to us. We notice the issues that put us face to face with every fear, doubt, insecurity, and emotion that we have
kept hidden. Why can't we be mature, calm and objective in these situations? We can if we are acting from our spiritual maturity
instead of trying to control our emotions and justify our experiences through them.
Without the knowledge, confidence and support
that we get from spirit we rely on our ego's maturity level to get us through whatever we are facing. And its maturity level
is at the first trauma we experienced in our life, plus all of the emotional baggage we carry. Since every issue we face is
an opportunity to heal our emotional wounds and to bring us into spiritual maturity, no wonder we get stuck, overwhelmed and
feel out of control. We're looking at the problem from its ego perspective instead of moving into a higher one. The clarity
we seek and maturity we need come from spirit, not from the ego.
Clarity takes on a whole new meaning with spiritual
maturity because we are not looking for validation or confirmation of our worthiness, our intention is on healing and we are
open to the truth in whatever way it is presented to us. With spiritual maturity we can ask 'what is next' instead of the
'why is this happening to me' and use the answers we receive to complete that level of growth and healing. With clarity we
have the truth we need, although not necessarily the answers the ego wants. But with truth and clarity we can complete our
lessons and move into more joyful, peaceful, loving, mature and controlled living.

Intuitive Reason
by Owen Waters
================
Intuition brings you direct information on
the true nature of any situation.
Once you make a habit of looking within and focusing
on your spiritual nature, you open up your awareness to the intuitive information that can come from your soul consciousness.
Intuitive insight is available to both men and women and, with its development, you can achieve more than you have ever imagined
possible.
The conscious, reasoning mind assesses a situation
using the physical senses as well as past information. Intuitive reason is possible when you include intuitive information
in the process. Intuition comes from your inner, soul consciousness and is directly tuned into the thoughts and energies that
surround any situation.
Intuition adds to your knowledge and understanding
of a situation, allowing your actions to achieve objectives with greater ease and harmony.
With intuition, you know what action will best
work and when.
Intuition is your doorway to direct information
on the consciousness of people, places, and events. It can also warn you about danger ahead and reveal what hidden risks you
could avoid in order to stay safe.
Intuition prompts you to take actions which will
help you in ways that you had not been able to detect using the physical senses alone. It also puts you in touch with the
natural flow of unfolding situations so that you can adapt to them and, therefore, succeed with relatively effortless action.
