Eternity Cannot Know Itself

According to some theorists, the moment the universe, or reality, becomes a whole, it is only part of the next moment’s totality.  Ever greater wholes are achieved in each moment, so that the universe is infinite expansion.  The cosmos inflates endlessly in each instant, so that the next moment is infinitely greater than the universe of the previous moment.

In philosophical terms, if we could grasp God in Its totality, It must of necessity be a greater totality than we have grasped.

We are the profane end of divinity.  God creates us to know Itself.  The irony is that God is essentially unknowable.  God creates us to become Itself, yet God is quintessentially unrealizable.

If this is so, then ultimate reality can never be known, and perhaps God cannot even know Itself.
