“When you start to appreciate that God is everywhere or the Spirit is everywhere, then the question becomes why aren't I seeing it? And then you realize it's the eyes of the beholder. It's which level you're choosing to look at or which level your desires are allowing you to look at. Because I said before if you're too hungry you just see what's edible. And it's only when you start to yearn to know your true self or yearn to see beyond or realize the ephemeral nature of all the stuff that you grab hold of in the world, that you start to turn your direction somewhere else. And that's why they often say that despair is a prerequisite for spiritual awakening. Meaning despair that everything you're collecting isn’t going to be enough.”
