I see it as a catch-all word meaning different things to different people. Generally speaking, everyone is seeking happiness, or contentment, just a place to feel comfortable. That might be a religion, a mindset, or whatever.God, truth, self, love, wisdom, bliss, awareness, life, liberation, actualization, peace, unity, flow, harmony, perfection ...?

Answers, I'd wager. A good seeker tests those answers with intellectual honesty and an ever evolving epistemological toolset.
"seekers" typically are people who have questions which have not been satisfactorily answered.
I meant these words in their ultimate sense.I think so. God/Truth/Flow/Perfection, wisdom/Liberation/Actualization/awareness, peace/harmony, and life have separate contexts. Even the words are not all "nouns" or don't work as nouns to where god to one person is no where related to the liberation or actualization to someone else.

I don't see them as separate. For example union with God/divinization is at the same time liberation (from attachment to ego) and actualization of human purpose.
They're different words for the same thing to me.God, truth, self, love, wisdom, bliss, awareness, life, liberation, actualization, peace, unity, flow, harmony, perfection ...?

Ultimate end is one that is not a means to anything else. Ultimate is that for which everything else is a means.I go by what the individual religion(s) define them and their individual goals. What defines the ultimate sense?

With other word: truth.
In other thread I cited a definition of spiritual truth:In other faiths, we hear 'truth' commonly, without any real definition of what truth is in an overall way, but individual religions define it for themselves.
More liberated more inner peace. More actualized more perfect.Liberation and peace can be opposing considerations, for example, depending on context and circumstance. And perfection can certainly stand in the way of things like actualisation, depending how you see such things.
