I left the church I inherited from my parents, but I did not abandon God. “Seek and ye shall find,” and I sought. I sought among the sciences and philosophies and religions of the world, absorbing what resonated within my heart and mind. There is much to be found in all, but none were completely satisfying. In the final analysis, what I found is something of a paradox: no one finds truth by seeking, but only those who seek truth shall find it. The reason for this became quite apparent. Even though I have long been aware of the words, I had to grow wary of the search in order to take to heart, to realize, the meaning of the words: “Behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
