There is an extraordinary paradox in the spiritual life that any sincere aspirant must encounter. The paradox is that anyone who is a sincere seeker wants Real Life, Truth, but the very act of wanting it is produced by having imagined what Real Life is, and then we attempt to imitate what the mind has imagined for ourselves.

The answers that we can dream for ourselves are very limited, taken from the content of what we already know and have already experienced. If you ask, you will receive--but you must learn what it means to ask.
