One of the measures of spiritual maturity is what we do when we are triggered.
Do we blame the external world for our internal feelings?
Or do we become curious about why our internal feelings have responded in the way that they did?
The person who is maturing looks within before looking externally.
The maturing spiritual person can narrate the trigger and discuss what moment(s) and experiences from their past are reacting.
The maturing person finds separation from the reaction to see other possible reactions and to look more closely at reality.
