Michael Bernard Beckwith describes growth as the revelation of what is already within us. Can all that we can be already be within us, with us?
We can can look to nature. A small seed will grow into a large tree, and while it does need nourishment from the soil and sun, everything to create the tree is within the seed
I have an idea in my head that I wish to release. That we attain perfection and then we’re done. Stagnation?
Can I be OK with the idea that I will never be perfect, never be finished?
“You can’t get it wrong, and you’ll never get it done.” ~~Abraham Hicks
Growth is change. Just because you changed into a new form, a new version of you, doesn’t make the old form wrong and the new form right anymore than a sapling is wrong and the mature tree is right
I suppose we can look at growth as becoming the being that suits our next stage of life
Growth appears to be change to us, but perhaps it isn’t. Perhaps the entirety of the being of a particular Tree is the seed, the sapling, the mature tree in summer, the mature tree in fall, etc all at once. We, from our limited perspective of time, can only see one sliver of an instance of the Tree at once. But perhaps our idea of growth and change is merely a turning or rotating of the Tree. The same way that we cannot see all six sides of a cube at the same time we cannot see the Tree as a seed, sapling, etc at the same time
