The Religion of Seeking: How the Quest for Meaning Became the New God

Inspired by: Mind Less Care More

We don’t seek truth. We seek anesthesia.

1. Meaning Is the New Messiah

We once turned to gods, ancestors, omens. Now, we search for purpose.

“Find your why.”

“Live your truth.”

“What does it mean?”

Yet beneath it all, meaning-seeking is simply modern metaphysics—a frantic attempt to impose order on chaos. We do not crave truth. We crave comfort. We long for the illusion of control, dressed up as cosmic destiny.

Mind Less – Care More does not offer meaning. It points to the very machine that manufactures meanings—and quietly unplugs it.

What if this moment means nothing at all? What if that’s where its beauty lies?

2. Seeking Is a Loop, Not a Ladder

Seeking feels noble. Curious. Awake. But so often, it is avoidance masquerading as inquiry.

You keep seeking because, the moment you stop, you would have to actually sit with the unknown. You would have to live without a project. You would have to face silence.

The mind resists this. It craves movement. It wants a narrative arc. It wants to believe that if you read just one more book, attend one more retreat, download one more insight—you’ll finally arrive.

But what if you’re already home, and all this seeking is just... pacing in circles?

3. Nothing Is the Answer (Literally)

There is no spiritual trick waiting at the end of the path. No cosmic download. No universal truth that will make you feel safe forever.

The good news?

You don’t need one.

Because beneath all the concepts, questions, and quests lies something astonishing: simple, sensory, silent. It does not explain. It does not need to. It simply is.

Mind Less – Care More is not a guidebook. It is an invitation to stop asking—and simply listen.

To the space. To the breath. To the part of you that has always been here.

And never needed saving.
