If you know the answer to a question in the future, then you know the answer to the question now. You just don't know it yet. In this sense the question is the answer, because without the question there could be no answer.

In a timeless setting, such as after death, there need pass no time between question and answer. This has been reflected in many NDE's where people come back saying "they only needed to formulate the question, even vaguely, and the answer instantly appeared".

It is only in our "linear time" where we are not all-knowing. In this state, in this world, time need pass between answer and question. But in the "ultimate reality" the answer and the question is one and the same. Since I ask the greatest questions, I must also be in the process of getting the greatest answers.

This insight highlights the importance of constant curiosity, which can be likened to the "knocking" on the door.

"I tell you: ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and everyone who seeks, finds; and to everyone who knocks the door will be opened." - Luke 11:9-13
