I think that growing saturated (with spiritually oriented information) would be a more descriptive subject line.
Where to go from here? Turn to the silence.
Educating, illuminating, and conditioning the mind with spiritually enlightened information is helpful, and, I would contend, needed, but true information cannot be articulated; it is contained in the absolute stillness of silence where words do not go.
Silence is the primary place, as it were, to discover the answer to the questions you ask, Matt1. Ultimately, silence brings you into the great answer of your self, of who you really are beyond name and form.
Silence is a white flame of pure reality that burns away the dross of illusion and unreality. Upon dipping into that spring, the philosophy to which your senses have become somewhat numbed and deadened will take on a new spirit, depth, and meaning. The philosophy will be reinvested with life.
And, having discovered your source within, the same source out of which the philosophy arose, your relationship to the information will change. What that relationship will be is yours to know, but I imagine you would look to it with a similar joy of a music lover to music. The music lover doesn't turn to music expecting a savior, or expecting something that will do the work in consciousness for him, or expecting something that will reveal the universe, per se, but rather, the lover of music embraces music as something to enjoy, to uplift and inspire, to reflect beauty, and to be a means of tuning the energies into communion with the Creator.
Discipline and practice. Practice, practice, practice.
