I don’t remember who the wise person was that said, “The more we know the more we realise how much we don’t know,” but in my experience that is a great truth.
Like many people I have spent much of my life seeking answers. I sometimes think I am like a child always asking why and never being fully satisfied with the answer. It seems that every answer generates further questions leading me on in my search for understanding, growth and meaning in life. With the universe being infinite I am sure that I shall never know absolutely everything, which is a good thing as an existence without further challenges might actually become boring. Nope, infinite universe and infinite opportunities sounds pretty good to me.
Of course the essential part of finding answers is asking questions. If we were merely given all answers without being able to formulate the questions, would the answers have any real meaning to us? I think not. In fact I believe that we only receive particular answers when we are able to realise and pose the question we wish to ask.
Maybe the universe is a bit like a computer in that you only get the answer to the question you have entered in the search box? Could it be that the questions we create from within ourselves are actually saying, “This is where I am at and this is my need at this time?” So we receive answers relevant to our needs and where we are at on our path.
What a kind and caring universe it is that we live in. Or to put it another way “God is good.” We are provided the opportunity to gain understanding, soul growth and enlightenment at the pace appropriate to each of us.
I have come to appreciate things being given at the right pace seeing as my brain space is not yet able to hold all the answers to everything – I mean where would I put it all - time for a tidy up I think.
