The master was telling the young priests a story. "The cruel men put the beautiful fire lizard into the flames. It was burned but not destroyed..." A boy interrupted. "Was the fire lizard ugly now?"The sage answered, "I do not know how the fire lizard saw himself."Many never see ourselves as we truly ought to be seen. In 35 years of working with churches and in counseling, the broken, the hurting, the unworthy have appeared. These are not the unsaved seeking salvation but the saved who have been enslaved by allowing the criteria of beauty, success, worth or even faithfulness to be applied to them rather than being able to see themselves through the Christ lens. If you've ever wondered about your spiritual beauty after you've escaped the fire please take the time to read this little essay and see how God defines our worth.

This study explored whether (1) adult cognitive development correlates with spiritual development, (2) wisdom development mediates the relationship, and (3) age, gender, education level, socioeconomic status, or religious denomination are associated with level of cognitive, wisdom, or spiritual development. University students and alumni (N = 134) completed a demographic questionnaire, the Model of Hierarchical Complexity Helper-Person Problem (Commons & Pekkar, 2004), the Spiritual Assessment Inventory (Hall & Edwards, 1996, 2002), and the Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (Webster, 2003). This study hypothesized that wisdom, understood to derive from both personality qualities and life experience, mediates the influence of cognitive development on spiritual. This research hoped to provide empirical support for understanding the direction and degree of influence of cognitive, wisdom, and spiritual development. Using structural equation modeling, spiritual development was measured only as awareness of God. Cognitive development correlated significantly with spiritual awareness with moderate effect size. An inverse relationship was found between wisdom development and spiritual awareness. Wisdom development did not mediate the impact of cognitive development on spiritual awareness. Gender, age, education level, socioeconomic status, and religious affiliation were not associated with cognitive, wisdom, or spiritual development.

The author proposes a theory of the development of consciousness in which ego is the central agent of socialization and culture and the driving force behind individual self-control and self-regulation. He reviews the literature on identity and narrative; outlines the fields of intellectual, self, moral, and consciousness development; and discusses the evidence indicating that the development of consciousness trancends the limitations of conventional ego development.
