Nothing is as satisfying as believing there is an all knowing, all loving and timeless other who will always be attentive to you and your reflections. Frankly my wife sometimes lets me down in terms of her attentiveness to my needs in comparison to my mother .. but then at least my wife will actually have sex with me.
However, I find it helpful to approach my self with the same sense of awe and expectation that I formerly reserved for God. The truth is I don't know what I am capable of knowing or understanding until I try. Sometimes mysteries are revealed simply by phrasing the question as well as you can. Learning to wait in quiet expectation for answers you don't already have can pay dividends. The real mystery is how any one of us ever knows anything at all.
