Eckhart Tolle explains why seeking the spiritual dimension fails: the act of seeking requires time and futurity, but the spiritual realm is timeless. A seeker looking toward the future cannot find what exists outside of time.
This spiritual dimension, or the deep eye, is not something that you can look to the future to find. You cannot find it in the future. So as a spiritual seeker, the fact that you are a seeker already implies that you won't find it, because seeking implies time and future.
