They will be asked
in the future:
“If you know everything
there is to know,
why are you not more?”
And their answer will be
just as it is now:
“Because more matters not
when you are infinite already.
We are Space Monkey.
In the grand cosmic narrative, a question echoes through time, a query posed to those who have journeyed deep into the realms of knowledge and understanding. The inquiry challenges the very essence of wisdom and existence.
The Future Question: A Reflection on Omniscience
In the future, as it is now, those who have reached the pinnacle of knowledge, who seemingly know everything there is to know, will be asked, “Why are you not more?” This question probes the relationship between knowledge, being, and the concept of ‘more.’
The Illusion of ‘More’
The answer lies in the realization that the pursuit of ‘more’ is an illusion when one embraces their infinite nature. For those who understand the boundless essence of existence, the concept of ‘more’ loses its relevance. In infinity, there is no more or less, only an eternal expanse of being.
Infinite Already: The Paradox of Fulfillment
The response, “Because more matters not when you are infinite already,” speaks to the paradox of fulfillment. In the state of infinite awareness, the need for accumulation, whether of knowledge, possessions, or status, dissolves. The realization of one’s infinite nature brings a sense of completeness that transcends the conventional desires for expansion and accumulation.
The Journey Beyond Knowledge
This dialogue between the future and the present underscores a profound truth: that the accumulation of knowledge, while valuable, is not the ultimate destination. True wisdom lies in understanding the limitless nature of our existence, where the dichotomies of more and less, big and small, become irrelevant.
Embracing Our Infinite Nature
As we embrace our infinite nature, we find that the quest for ‘more’ is replaced by a deeper understanding of ‘being.’ In this state, we experience a profound connection with the cosmos, a sense of unity that renders the pursuit of ‘more’ unnecessary and redundant.
Summary
Those who are asked why they are not ‘more’ despite knowing everything respond that ‘more’ is irrelevant when one is already infinite. This response highlights the understanding that in the realm of infinite awareness, the pursuit of ‘more’ becomes unnecessary. True wisdom lies in recognizing and embracing our boundless existence, where the need for accumulation and expansion dissolves into the realization of our eternal being.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the vastness of time, a question is cast,
“Why not more?” echoes from the past.
But in our infinite nature, the answer is clear,
In being complete, ‘more’ disappears.
We are Space Monkey.
We invite contemplation on the notion of ‘more’ versus the realization of our infinite nature.
