Spiritual Maturity

Erik Erikson described U.S. culture as stuck in adolescence, and a more feminist Erika Fromm, or Erik Erikson, might have added Nationalistically stuck in patriarchal adolescence. Yet in the normal course of biological events, and spiritual evolutions, each life, individual and cultural, unfolds a rudder. Each rudder has a Tipping Point, acting like a pre-deductive adolescent-curious rudder, manipulated by a health-intending navigator, like the pre-ramp lip on a wheelchair ramp, inviting a more cooperative initial push or final descent in helpful on and off directions, left and right, up and down, in and out, back and forth, Yang ecological economic maturity with Yintegrative adolescent revolutionary politics, nondual faces of one co-directing intention toward recognizing limitations and liabilities of competitive adolescent behaviors too patriarchal LeftBrain dominant for fully mature unfolding, while also appreciating more cooperatively slow and steadier eco-flowing assertions to politically co-enfranchise matriarchal RightBrain integrity of improved developments of and for Tipping Point maturation.
