Cofty,
There is a solution. Until now you have only heard from others. Now experiment yourself, just like a scientist does. Be seated in a comfortable posture. Withdraw your mind within—and you will experience your sixth sense (intuition) beginning to manifest itself, and will also find yourself pulled towards the vastness of your soul, the immaterial substratum of your physical body. You will gradually lose sight of all mental and physical boundaries. At this time you will feel like a person on his first airplane flight leaving behind all customary landmarks and soaring into a wall-less space. Keep going till you get linked with your Heavenly Father. Have a sweet conversation with Him. You will come back fully convinced that you are a spirit being in this physical body, and there is a loving heavenly Father, the Supreme Soul, who helps those seeking Him and wanting to know the truth.
