Eliminating the Idea of Spiritual Progression

After years on the Progressive Path witnessing step-by-step progress, there’s still a sense that being has ‘depth’ and levels to explore. How can the idea of progression be gotten rid of? Rupert says: ‘Tell us about your being now. What more do you want? What do you feel you’re progressing towards? How could you improve on that? How can you improve on wholeness, peace, perfection, love, eternity? The mind thinks that being has depth. It’s legitimate from the point of view of the mind to feel that being has depth. But it’s not really true. There’s no depth in being, there are no degrees of being. Being is at peace. It doesn’t want to go anywhere. That’s why it’s at peace. Any sense of progress, any sense of effort keeps you from your being.’
