“To satisfy our human curiosity, we must seek ultimate truths with ultimate humility. That means being presented with Divine truths of the universe and of God, and accepting these. Letting go of false, unloving beliefs to grow in love.”
“Assuming there is no way we could possibly know everything there is to know about everything- apathy. But that sounds like hell to me.”
“I believe that curiosity stems from the fact that humans are a species with the capability of learning, growing, and continuously evolving not only as an entire entity, but as individuals and within our lifetimes. Curiosity is the desire to learn, or know; without the ability to process information, curiosity would not exist. What adds to this fact is the increasing complexity of life, of existence of the “universe.” Our draw to learn is directly correlated with the “universe’s” draw to entropy. I think that curiosity will only be satisfied when we have answered all of our questions; or, if we find out that there is no answer. Although lately, I’ve been having a conflict within myself about the relationship between “curiosity/thirst for knowledge” and “wholeheartedly accepting the divine perfection of it all.” I wonder if, as humans progress spiritually, curiosity will also change.”
“Curiosity is a form of desire that cannot be satisfied. Desire is an evolutionary force for participation in life. Human mind is programmed to only for addition and multiplication. Dissatisfaction occurs in the human mind because it is attuned to the physical realm as physical realm has boundaries and limitations. When the capacity of the human mind is attuned to higher perception, higher realm dimensions can be experience where curiosity can be satisfied in an endless search from more to All.”
Curiosity is a basic trait of humans, and thus will never be satisfied. As when we were infants, we have a sponge-like desire to learn about our surroundings. Whether through science, philosophy, or any other means, humans have an inherent playfulness and desire to learn, even as we don’t know particularly why. We do so because we are a special organ of the Universe designed to help the Universe become conscious of itself. The more curiosity we have, the more the Universe learns.
A scientifically validated answer to the question “Why are we here?” would go a long way toward satisfying human curiosity. If the answer is that we have a purpose other than simply experiencing every moment in that moment until we die, that may well determine where we point our seemingly boundless curiosity. If instead the answer is that being here now is all we’re “supposed” to do, the next major frontier — and perhaps the be-all and end-all of our curiosity — may be to understand the nature of our consciousness.
