Man is characterized by a hunger for the infinite.....
which, whether he knows it or not,
can be nothing other than God. Assuming God exists,
it will follow that God is man's true end...

...man is often mistaken as to the goal of his life, desiring
wealth, power or physical pleasure instead of God. But
his real appetite continues to be God, for which lesser
goals are always unsatisfactory substitutes.

God isn't *a* being, but a state of Being,
and we are that state of Being. It is our
Essence...

"Our *real* appetite is for God" - as one understands
"God" - has been my experience since childhood.
The deepest longing of the Heart has always been for "God",
called by many names over the years; Love, Pure Awareness,
Consciousness, The Divine, Pure Being, The Self, The Mystery,
The Silence, etc. The longing turns out to be "God" calling ItSelf
back to ItSelf. I am forever grateful that the longing continues
to be there - drawing me ever inward to the "God Space" -
to ItSelf...
