Vital (non-measurable) Indicators

 For much of our lives, measurable experiences are what we tend to use to evaluate the achievement of the main objective: "to live and grow". Thus, we accumulate experiences: happy moments, discoveries, pleasurable sensations, laughter, euphoric perceptions of the senses, and learning through rational and logical understanding of the "functioning of the world", or even consequences and reactions of our actions and relationships in it and in others through what we understand as the mission or the meaning of life. In a way, they are what make us feel "more" alive, in a sense of growth by accumulation or development.
Once we have reached spiritual maturity, all these indicators, which continue to be potential sources of growth, only gain recognition of their ultimate value if they contribute to nourishing others that are not so easily measured, such as the quality of our reactions and attitudes to what happens, the degree of attention, presence, connection, empathy and compassion with everything that surrounds us, the conquest of intuition and vital energy, or the profound understanding of the ineffable. In short, the depth of inner transformation and transcendence towards the expansion of a consciousness that integrates us into something beyond the threshold of our identity, to a spiritual degree, and as a teacher before ourselves.
All this because the meaning of the goal has changed, or perhaps simply become clearer. To live and grow, in its free and universal sense, is to intend a dynamic state of inner peace that keeps my separation from "being" unblocked. Paradoxically, as these are indicators of an unmanifested consciousness, they limit the ability to articulate and share their growth with other beings through material, observable and measurable means. Thus, in a way, they contribute to a detachment from the individual path and the consequent transcendence of the ego, and thus to the liberation of "being" into Being.
