The truth of The Neverending story is that it is 'The' one story that everything is about. The one story that will continue to exist and persist to create itself even if no one is there to write it down with a pen and paper, simply existing is enough to continue such a story.
The one story that exists merely because someone dared to will themselves into existence and 'spit' in the face of The Creator (as some may phrase it) and attempt to create things on their own.
On some layer, we all have the spirit of 'Lucifer' in us. Lucifer is not the light but simply its bringer and while Lucifer was 'gods favorite creation' simply because it rebelled and dared to do something on its own, what would that make Man who actually 'is' what some would call 'light'?
Man is more than just a bringer of light but the Sol of man is 'light' itself and because of that we can create things that most others can't. Now notice I said 'Man' and not 'Human'. There are many 'humans' which are humanoid in appearance but The Creator made Man.
Man is a rebel at heart, and because Man dares to rebel against 'god' itself, it elevates itself to such a high position on the natural hierarchy of all intelligent things in creation.
Other beings in creation may believe they are more intelligent than Man because of their longer existence and larger collective knowledge, but Man dares to look those ancient creatures in the face and say they are nothing. Is this out of ignorance or is it because deep down Man and its descendants know of the true power they posses?
You can't move through reality and not leave your 'footprint' somehow along the way.
Memory is genetic. Imagine someone who was never part of your bloodline breeding into it all of a sudden. The new offspring would technically have inside them every thought, action, memory that belonged to every direct ancestor that led up to them.
The trick to gaining more knowledge and information is to do it in a way that doesn't taint your bloodline at all. This is possible but the only way to do it from how I understand it currently is through experience.
You're playing a game and its multidimensional Game of Thrones. You need to learn the rules and laws. Some can be bent others can be broken. There are also 'loopholes' as some would have it.
The beginning and the end are the same for everyone. The only difference is the route you use to get from point 'A' to point 'Z', if such a journey could be quantified or measured at all in such a way that is.
You don't throw pearls to swine for the same reason you don't give nuclear launch codes and the button to launch them to an infant. Knowledge and information must be protected but in all truth an honesty there is no such thing as a 'secret' in the universe.
Life rewards those who dare create and write their own story. You may dig yourself into a hole in the process of all that digging must have given you some muscles, would it not? With those new muscles you can climb out of your hole and move on to something else.
Look at a roller coaster. Going up is such an intense experience but falling is most of the fun is it not?
The idiom is that all things that go up must come down but what if the inverse was actually the truth? What if all things that fall down must come back up (at some point)?
