Satisfaction Beyond Personal Sense

Nathan A. Talbot

When we outgrow the belief that man is separated from Soul, we will finally feel true satisfaction.

But as long as we submit to the belief that man is a biological and psychological entity governed, at least in part, by impulses, urges, longings, and cravings, we will continue chasing after ways to fill those empty feelings.

Because God is Soul, He is the source of fulfillment for all creation. Because Soul is universal, there is never a point nor instance when its satisfying presence is unknown or unfelt. Because Soul loves its creation, it provides, rather than withholds, the fulfilling and satisfying goodness that blesses each idea. The Psalmist glimpsed and expressed this truth beautifully: "Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing."^{Ps. 145:16;}
