I'm with Ali on this matter. The necessity for seeking transforms into integration/applying all that's been learned from the seeking process into practical usage. That's not to say that new revelations won't come to you once you no longer actively seek. I don't feel the need any longer to sit and meditate for long periods of time in order to achieve my goal. I've found also that any attempts I make at trying to conceptualize/intellectualize/organize what I've come to know feels pointless and silly to me now, because I'd just be rehashing the same truths I know over and over and over again, just in different ways. It would be like my trying to figure out dozens of ways to put on a new pair of glasses when the glasses are already on, and all that is left to be done now is to get my eyes to adjust properly and to simply look through them.
As you said Ali, regardless of what state of mind or one is in, the connection never falters. And why should it? There is never a moment when the Creator is not present in all things. I once naively thought that it was only through deep states of meditation that I could achieve a divine connection. Now I know better and realize that even when I am doing something as simple as walking down the street, the connection is always there. I now remain passive and acquiescent in life, and allow myself to be guided down the path the Universe feels is most appropriate and best. After all my 'relentless seeking' I'm much enjoying the role of the silent observer of sorts.
