You could break it down to thirty different stages, the point was, unless you believe in enlightenment, or some such state of spiritual being. There is and ending to the evolving process with out the search the learning process of new ideas.
Once again, not if there is something to work for beyond maturity. But if maturity is it, then yes continual actions of the same ol' process fall in line. Over and over again we act on our perceived notion of what life really is. It is this time, the time in which evolving has ceased, that can no longer be immature.
Do we become less dependent? Or is it more? I have always felt the maturity in the most dependent on the meager material goods, and less apt to base life on the inner idea.
To use ones intuition and be soulfully happy with thought and not as concerned with action. To just be. Not one of us is going to change the world.
soryy had to seperate two different ideas.
