The fundamental flaw in the 'search for God' is 'search'.
The 'search for God' is no different from the 'search for enlightenment' or 'search for the self' or the 'search for sleep'. If you start searching for sleep, start wanting it, analysing it, praying for it, it will not come. Give up the search, and it may come...the beyond doubt DIRECT experience.
Another way of looking at the search for God-----'God', if real, could perhaps be waiting for us to do something 'real'.......all our thoughts and emotions are so very second hand, so torn apart, it's almost like we are not real.

This 'real' something could be developing the ability to love someone beyond addictive clinging.
(Another way of looking at the 'search for God' is comparing it to the 'search for women'. The more you chase women, the more they run away from you!)
