~I personally believe that everyone is a true seeker, but that there's only a few special people that actually realize it. I believe that I may be one. I don't say this just because I want to sound cool or whatever; I mean it. Ever since I was little around 7 I started having this feeling, like I had to find something. And that I was put on earth to complete a job that wasn't finished. Seven years later I still have that feeling. I feel an emptyness inside me, and it won't be full until I find what I'm looking for.~

*To some people it may sound unreal, but I truly believe I am one of the few, true, seekers. I feel like I can't be full or 100% me, until I find the missing piece. I am a very open minded person, and I think very deeply about a lot of things. For every bad problem in the world I think deeply about ways to try and fix the problems. Not only am I very open minded, I'm very opinionated.*

~I still haven't exactly found out what it is we seek. I think I have an idea, but I can't explain it in words. I think all the few, true, seekers know what it is, but most can't explain it. Everyone will know what we seek once we've found it.~

A true seeker has a thirst for knowledge and an insatiable curiosity. One of the tough parts of being a true seeker, though, is that you must follow the truth, not be led by your beliefs. So many people think of themselves as seekers, when in reality they have already made up their minds and are merely seeking justifications and rationalizations for their beliefs.

A true seeker is one who doesn't seek with a goal in mind. They can accept what they find with an objective, open mind. If your goal is to seek to be enlightened, you've already got a preconceived notion. A true seeker seeks releases all preconceptions and is receptive to the unknown, the unanticipated.

The birth of a truth seeker takes place within himself. Although religious books give certain directives, they are not the true base for it. Truth is not to be compared with any religious books, but with your own inner conscience.

The seekers aim is to find the meaning of this life and then developing it to the best he is revealed of. Means the purification of the kingdom within him. The more you know truth you will become aware of wider unknown world. So the journey is like travelling into the space.

Well...you ask us if we are open-minded followed by a blatantly close-minded statement. You don't want to receive Bible quotes, meaning you've closed your mind to that aspect of reality.

Do you ask if we are open-minded because you are seeking to be? Are you seeking truth, but have yet to discover? Seeking the path?

Knock, knock, Neo...follow the white rabbit.

Oh my God, please pick me, I really want those points badly and I really need them. I have discovered that the TRUE meaning of life is letting others control my contingencies of reinforcement.
I'll kiss ***, I'll grovel, I'll beg, anything you ask, just please award the 10 to me.
BTW: what are you seeking? Have you lost something? Have you lost your way? Do you fear what you have not found?
Follow your navel.
Now please give me the points? I will like you if you do.
