The holy grail of metaphysics is the spiritual enlightenment of the soul. This is the gradual process of evolution and maturity when the soul pierces the veil of matter and experiences God. While God dwells in all of us and is “closer than hands and feet”, the knowing of God is hidden from us until we seek out the Divine. Like the seedling buried deep in the earth is striving to break ground to the world of sunlight and the bounty of nature, our soul buried deep in material consciousness is striving to reach the sunlight of eternal truth. In the 21st century, we are at the threshold of a new era in our relationship with God. As humanity understands the workings of physical nature better than ever, this beckons us to gain a deeper, more mature understanding of God and the part the Divine plays in our life.
