If you could hammer it all home to one or two cosmic questions, what would they be?

Tricky. My questions would be - What happens to our consciousness after the body dies? Is there anything beyond the universe? I think if anyone had the answers it would be beyond my feeble brain to comprehend.

Personally I've always felt that if I can conceive of a question, then it must mean that I am at least partially capable of conceiving of its answer. That the very act of posing the question is a sort of reaching beyond or expansion of the boundaries of my own understanding. I have most especially found that if it is a poignant question that I wrestle with, and not a mere abstract thought, then it is something that I not only capable of but am 'meant' to come to understand- a sort of challenge to overcome on my spiritual path/ quest for knowledge.

I think we'll only understand totally when we are in a different form. There are modes of experience not open to us which comprise part of the total reality, sometimes I ask myself how a bee or a whale or a cat views the world? What conclusion, if any, do these creatures reach and how we can bridge the gap between individual and collective consciousness, and then the gap between mind and reality. My personal feeling is that there is unobtainable knowledge which eludes us now but will become apparent at the very end. Subtle clues and insights abound, like irregular pieces of a jigsaw, waiting to form a complete picture.
