Development
The process of development is the same thing as the process of
unveiling or shedding at the same time. The development and actualization
of a state is what is needed to go beyond it. They are not two
separate things. You cannot go beyond self until you actualize
self. For instance, when you finally know your true self, you
are it, you realize in the same instant that you’ve gone
beyond it. You do not need it any more because you’ve got
it. That is the hierarchy of needs – when you do not have
it, you need it. You must look for it, but the moment you get
it, get it completely, you do not need it any longer; you realize
that it is not important. You realize that it is an idea in your
mind anyway. But you do not know that it’s just an idea
in your mind until you get it. (Diamond Heart Book 4, pg 154)
