It was never in the sound...

Trying to find God in a materialistic world is like trying to find the Eiffel Tower on Mars.

No song, words, books, college degrees, internet resources, or mystical herbal drinks will get you one step closer to God than you already are. In fact, the only way to get closer to God is to die. Give up. Stop trying. Fall. Let go.

Let go of the American dream. Let go of your job. Let go of your responsibilities, dreams, ambitions. Let go of self. Selfishness.

And find freedom.

Is the God who breathes stars trillions the size of the planet you live on, Who keeps the cosmos in perfect line, Who sees each and every sparrow that falls, is He not more important than what's on tv tonight? Is He not more important than your favorite song on the radio? Is He not more important than keeping up with the next new thing? Is He not more important than you?

God does not exist in any materialistic thing. Not even "Christian" merchandise. And it will never get you closer to Him.

Listen, as your empire of you falls, do you hear it? He's been saying it since before you were born, "I love you".
