Can you define it? Has your understanding of it changed with the passing years? This is my first question so please be real & don't make me sorry I asked.

I have always been a seeker and it is a lonely journey, at least where I come from. My "goal" is to know the ultimate TRUTH particularly about the Universe/GOD/PURPOSE of life.I get "preached at" all the time from people and their various religious beliefs and told that I should "just have faith and BELIEVE". Their lives as non-seekers are so much less full of angst than mine and I wish I COULD believe as they do but "God" did not make me that way. I want those "A-HA" moments and I've had a few in my life. I hope that after I die I will have the ultimate "A-HA" moment. but until then, I continue to SEEK.

As I understand , after passing so many years, that it is not I am seeking ,, but It is God who is Seeking within Me.. He says continuously look, see what is giving you the eternal joy.. is it worldly things ,, if you are not fulfilled .. come near me... but I am yet to get that total feel of futility of the worldly objects... and that will be end of this Game of Answering .. for Me at least...

I seek God within and wisdom. And yes my understanding has grown tremendously over the years. I think back to when I was younger and how ignorant I was - but that too was all part of the journey......
It's the journey not the destination.

I seek a means to give to everyone to help their lives in immense ways. But only through understanding can this happen and truth is what I seek for the betterment of humanity not to hurt individuals through finding the truth of their past good or bad but on a spiritual and human level that does not neglect anyone despite their past but to help everyone for the good of their future. Yes, my understanding has changed based on how humans learn and what gives them a desire to learn so that they may better their life. Ignorance only exists because knowledge exists and it is bettering our self through knowledge that we keep us from making mistakes through our ignorance.

To try and help others so that humanity can work towards a greener/brighter future. This quest has led me to many different levels of understanding and has defenatly made me stronger, changing me from the very timid person that I use to be.
I have lots of info that I think you will find quite helpful and enlightening:
http://360.yahoo.com/blorm_multaeeneea_lavacom (For tons of inspirational info)
http://ecowellness.multiply.com/ (For all the environmental info)
Let us all strive for a greener/brighter future by helping to create a solid foundation for future generations to build upon, so we can hand them a beautiful world, filled with never ending awe and wonders!!
Where peoples differences and uniqueness are accepted, where we all live as one, helping one another so that we can all play our own mysteriously beautiful melodies in the never ending, awe inspiring, song of life :-)
I truly have faith in humanity and believe that someday our lives and the world in which we live will truly be transformed for the better.

I am always seeking knowledge and understanding. Exposing yourself to a variety of topics from different perspectives without letting your personal opinions interfere is the key to working effectively in today's society. To me, there is nothing worse than someone who is "narrow-minded" rather than "open-minded".

What I seek is NOT material pleasures. I have experienced that they are passing away.
Permanent pleasure is in my creater.
I seek Him within.

GLORY AND RICHES!!! J/K. I seek to excel in my career, hopefully earning me what it is that I might deserve. I seek to continue to love my wife. Together, we hope to be able to travel, and to be able to enjoy each other's company for the rest of our lives. We do not want to have children.

Happiness and contentment. Over the last 2 yrs I've become content (accepting) but not happy.
