Who am I? What am I supposed to do? The answers to these questions often require a lifetime of seeking. The inner exploration of our own minds is the most enriching of all journeys. Although very few of us discover our true selves or fulfill our purpose, many of us continue to pursue self-actualization.
Is there a God? If so, what is He/She like? Does God care about me?
Religion is the human interpretation of God. Thus, no religion can encompass a full understanding of God. Even if we take a composite of all the world’s religions, past and present, we will still have an incomplete idea of God.
Our ideas about ourselves, about life, about God are all fragmentary. Yet, we gather up the morsels that we have and keep searching for more pieces. We seek to know and be known. Some of us are satisfied by human understanding, while others seek a higher level of awareness. Our existence is incomplete without this consciousness. Thus, we continue to ponder the unthinkable and plumb the depths of the unfathomable.
