When the world loses it's luster and no longer satisfies, and the soul is weary of it's exile in Maya; when the search for happiness has not produced lasting results, the soul begins to awaken from it's spiritual amnesia and longs for emancipation into the Light and Love and secure, unending Peace and Joy of God.

      At this point of discontent within, the soul in some dim, intuitive understanding perceives it's true nature as being a part of God. Thus begins the conscious effort to embark on the journey within.
