My answer isn't good enough for you. We must each quest for our own answers. We may share thoughts and inspirations, but it is ultimately up to each person to choose to accept the truth that resonates with that part of ourselves which recognizes truth.

My next question is what to do about the emptiness. :) I agree. My next question is what to do about the emptiness. :)

Perhaps it is because I rode the crest of "Generation Y," but it's hard for me to adjust to the humdrum daily life after the blaze of growing up. I think it is inevitable that we go through times where we feel "empty." It's a sign that you haven't stagnated - that something within you still searches and yearns for more. It is a good thing.

I like the way you and your wife are talking and wondering and deciding. Regarding the notion of "self-transcendence", might I suggest a peek at Joseph Dillard's www.dreamyoga.com. I'd bet that if you gave it a serious look it would intrigue you. Besides, I believe JD is an admirer of Maslow.

I also don't think that I've quite found a specific way to seek self-transcendence yet, so my hunger goes unsatisfied. I'm happy to be able to feel this hunger though because I can only see it motivating me to good things.

Especially the brain path to cosmic Zen. Seriously, isn't this profoundly more meaningful and awesome and ... and ringing with truth than the "man-god creating planets with his harem" paradigm?
