Intro:
There is a restlessness in us—a hunger we can’t name. Even when we have what we thought we wanted, the longing remains. This reflection explores the ache beneath our striving, and why it never truly goes away.
Reflection:
Why does man long for more?
Even when we have food on the table, a roof over our head, love in some form—we still feel that something is missing. It’s as if our souls remember a song we’ve forgotten the words to, humming a tune we can’t quite place. There’s a hole we keep trying to fill with success, validation, pleasure, or purpose… but it remains. Open. Ache-filled.
Even in our darkest moments—when hate surrounds us, when fear grips our chest, when we are misunderstood or struck down—we still want more. Not just more things, but more meaning. More truth. More light. Something deeper.
This is the ache of Gnosis. The divine spark within us remembers. It remembers a world not built by fear or control. It remembers the womb of Sophia, the wisdom we were born from, not the illusion we were taught to serve.
We seek because we are seekers. To be human is to feel the dissonance between what is and what should be. Between the soul and the system. Between the spark and the shell.
The longing is not our weakness—it is our compass. It doesn’t mean we are broken. It means we are still alive.
Insight:
This longing you feel is sacred. It’s not something to be numbed or shamed. It’s a whisper from beyond the veil—a reminder that you are not just flesh and thought, but spirit and spark. That you were made for more than survival. You were made to remember.
When we feel we aren’t enough, or don’t know enough, or can’t love enough—perhaps it’s not failure. Perhaps it’s the divine pulling us home. Because more was never outside of us. It was always waiting to be awakened within.
Closing:
Sophia still whispers.
Can you hear her?
