Hey guys and Gals! Let's say that you already know everything that there is to be known within The Universe and All. What will you do next? Do you think you would want to know everything? Or Do you prefer to not know everything, and keep on learning?

I'll start, I think I would rather know everything just as The Divine Universe know. So, what you guys and girls think?

My general stance is that I'd rather know everything, have everything, etc

But when it comes to having ALL knowledge in the universe I think my answer would be no, just because I think it would drive any sentient being crazy to know everything about every particle and every point in space and time... past and future... seems like that level of of knowledge would drive anyone crazy... I used to have this weird philosophical idea that sentience itself was the result of all-knowing universal matter transcending infinite knowledge and shedding excess... but that's a whole other rabbit hole 😂

If it was something more like a portable device attached to me that I could USE to access all the infinite knowledge of the universe at any time as and when it suited me for some particular purpose, then yes, for sure, I'd want that!

There are things that fascinate me, and once I learn "everything" about them I lose all interest in it.
For example, in school we are taught about the well known Germanic tribes that lived in my country before the Romans came. They generally talk about the people in the North, those to the East in Germany and those in Belgium / France. The part where I live is never mentioned.
Two years ago I researched it on my own and discovered the specific name of a tribe that lived in thus region + the name of their goddess and god. Through old dictionaries and etymology i translated the names of these deities and found that they indeed are the sun (goddess) and moon (god).
There is a small remnant of a temple in Germany not too far from here. But I expect that going there will be a disappointment and the end of all there is to know about the topic, so I haven't gone.

Sometimes returning to a place of past incarnations allows recovery of personality parts left behind. Increased wholeness is one of the benefits of pilgrimage
