Many seek God in visible manifest manifestations, power and fire. These are only His manifestations, but not Himself. God reveals himself in complete silence.

"... and I will love him and I AM HIM." (John 14:21)
"And then He said: You cannot see My face, because a MAN CANNOT SEE ME AND STAY ALIVE." (Exodus 33:20)
