I think humans are complex, and so our experiences are complex. Is spirit itself complex? No, but it has complex experiences as complex humans. Weird thing, that, go figure.
I suppose simplification within oneself can say a lot for spiritual stability. Consistency is built on a sustainable, self-nurturing structure and I think spiritual consistency is the closest thing I can use as an idea to express the process that the exercises of the discipline of the personality is working toward. We gain consistency by developing a knowing of our interests and our biases, thereby engaging in them and working to their highest levels of experience. That sounds easy, and maybe it actually is, but since we are complicated creatures, it becomes a little more tricky to do something as "be yourself".
