That's be ridiculous. I looked around, trying to see him in things, see if there were signs or something, which is why I asked earlier what I should be looking out for.
Perhaps I can only knock once I've successfully sought, but I didn't do that. I haven't found the door yet.
The Door is to simply repeat the process till it is open for you. (the "door" finds you)
It is a 3 fold process you have to do all three steps. It is better to wait to do it right, than it is to do do your own thing.
So the third step is to simply repeat the second step until it works? (correct me if I got that wrong)
Not to be argumentative, but don't you think that's rather a bad way of finding god? Essentially waiting for him to come to me, and being patient with my very short (relative to eternity) life to wait for him, someone who is omniscient and omnipresent.
It seems discourteous on a point as important as the state of my immortal soul to be so blasé when I ask and exert myself, when he has the power to answer me whenever it takes his fancy.
Oh well. I'll always keep an eye out for something that might indicate godly presence, but the more I think about it, this really isn't all too convincing.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
