The unknowable ground
Why? You'll see. How? It'll just come. From where? From this lunatic star searcher.
For what? Is there ever any purpose? Yes, but that its possibly false is what you're getting at, an illusion, why be so negative? This is very positive. How come? You'll see, we are finally free.
I don't know. Or, the child asks why to everything and at some point you'll just have to say "thats just the way it is", because you don't know the answer to the question, you don't know the deeper explanation the child wants: even the philosopher cannot satisfy the child's questioning unless he were to say: the ground is groundless, my son. Or, at some point, the first entrance to the path towards the godhead, the child enquires about what we cannot know, wanting to know it, and is disappointed at not being able to know the answers: we want what we can't have and we want to know precisely what we cannot know: the devils trick was pulled on humankind: its not like a car that our parents say we'll never be able to afford, for there is still a possibility of attaining this; what we cannot know we cannot know, it has been held back from us forever, we can delve closer and closer towards it by figuring out things that can be known (but then can we make the unknowable knowable?) that surround it or cover it but we can never truly know the unknowable: an asymptotic curve. An example: we can never truly differentiate species unless we were to try to breed them and find out they can't breed. What is presupposed is the biological species differenciation concept that members of different species are not capable (or willing) of breeding (due to differences in the reproductive organs) or cannot produce fertile offspring: a donkey and a horse can mate but their offspring, a mule, is sterile. We can speculate about whether homo erectus, our ancestors, were actually a different species to us today, but we will never know unless we were to try to breed them: this was a bad example but at some level our questions lead us to dead ends, a roundabout called the unknowable.
The unknowable will remain forever unknowable, as the endless end, unless it were to become known, it which case it wouldn't have been the unknowable in the first place.
