Journeying within transcendence - from object to subject

Physical hunger and its satisfying exemplify a spiritual hunger. There is development from a quest for some magical answer to problems of existence, which is sought by the powerful "I", to the presence of another "I", the awareness of which grows through intuition and wonder but which cannot be known, and which draws one onward in the journey. There is no choice as to how this greater "I" is accepted. Failure to accept is the negative, hostile way of the power complex, seeing the partial as the totality; acceptance means trusting intuition, remaining in the question "are you God ?".

The eighth section of St John's Gospel, Chapter VI 1 to VII 1, is related to a stage in the spiritual journey of the individual.
