Wow, I'm both envious and frightened for you.
...it really IS the journey that matters.
That's the nature of belief, and I've come to realize that many of the questions we ask of ourselves don't really have a definative answer. Somewhere
along the line one has to sense the pattern and correlate the information and come to a believe.
We reach our beliefs, and the only thing I can thing to advise you of, OP, is to be open to reforming your beliefs when persuasive data comes your way.
Beliefs are funny like that. You can't just close the door and say, "that's it, I know this thing."
There. That's the sum total benefit of my years. All wrapped up tidily in a thread reply. So now, it's my time to thank YOU, because I haven't
wandered this particular way of thinking in perhaps three or four months. You remind me to see the world with wonder and to shrug off my paradigms,
and to feel.
Don't forget to smile and laugh. Your body loves endorphins.

I'm guessing that this is simply a turning point in your life. Not to seek the answers but to live them to the fullest.
Sometimes it's good to take a break from figuring life out and truly enjoy, what we do have.

You've run out of questions? That's an easy one.
You don't actually know anything. Like the light coming out of this screen to hit your eyes. You may know theoretical bits and pieces or what have
you, but can you experience for yourself what it is like to stream out of a computer screen into your own eyeballs? If not then you don't really know what
in the world is going on right now.
Truly, not a single one of us "knows" anything in its ultimate context, or else we would have to know everything, in which case I doubt we would be
incarnated any longer.
I constantly wander around, like in a wonder land, I have no idea what is going on around me. It is a supreme mystery, and anyone who thinks they know
anything about it, is only deluding themselves.

Answer this, why is life a paradox?

At this juncture, perhaps you might consider looking inwards rather then outwards. Begin asking questions of yourself and your nature. Do you know the
true nature of your motives and why you do/act a certain way? Do you even recognize your motives?

Wow man, good for you.
But I've learned throughout the years to always be wary of those who claim to have all the answers. And to me, you can't possibly have the answer to the most important question of all: what comes after? So that makes me think that it could be that you have no real answers at all. In fact, I would venture to say you are looking for some kind of attention with a thread like that. Due to your responses to the others, it just seems like you are trying to start something for your own boredom's sake. Good for you.

Ran out of questions, eh? I understand. I'll attempt to assist with your dilemma by offering up some questions for you.
What is your universe going to be like? What is it going to look like?
Will you keep the same basic layered structure as this universe and just change some stuff? Like have inside-out planets where centrifugal force takes the role of gravity. Where the outer skin is a see-through gelatinous material that makes sure everyone is walking on the stars all the time.
Or do you have some more fundamental ideas about the structure and how you are going to properly teach your offspring how to be universe creators?
Do you realize how much love (expansion of consciousness via total understanding and acceptance of all things at all times) you're going to need to create your universe?
Are you preparing that condensed ball of intense magnetic love inside you in preparation for that day you can create your own big bang?
