Perhaps there is fear in the belief we could ascend and become like the angels? If the Bible is correct and the creators days are like 1000 years of ours, perhaps we are being weighed down by the detritus of needless 'laws' and distracted by the technology (simple parlour tricks using the wavebands unseen and unsensed by us through our still primitive senses courtesy of the fallen one) to show that when the time comes, we have forsaken what was 'good' (nature) and embraced its opposite to come out from our universal birthing as mentally crippled and incapable.

The Garden of Eden can now be viewed in terms anyone can understand. One person builds a Virtual reality where everything is good and at peace. Characters are made in the now stable environment to interact with. One is a male made from 'clay' (cray supercomputer?), and from the same code, a part is taken to create a female. All is going fine until a trusted user goes in and explains to Adam and Eve how they are being deceived and they should look at the Apple device which can give them knowledge of how it was done...... sacrilege I know, sorry 'bout that, couldn't help myself :-)

We all contain the duality that wavers constantly between what one might term good and evil. It never ceases to astound me though, that most humans left to their own devices, seem to support one another rather than tear each other apart, as government seem to push that it would without their intervention. You can feel it here on steemit. Many would rather lift others up to their level, if they can, as they seem to instinctively know it makes things better and it then allows growth.

I seem to believe though, coming back to the start of your post that in simplicity is complexity. You can see a flower as a flower, a miracle from a seed. Or you could go into the Fibonacci, the pollination, the atoms, yet there is still the flower to see and petals to smell. We have all the simplicity or complexity we need, or in other terms, you can be someone who appreciates a flower for being a flower, or one that wants to explore it down to the infinite. It is up to you, its your motivation to learn as much or as little as you want while you are here. That is ..... if you were allowed to by society and its false priesthood. Unfortunately, those are the ones that have destroyed knowledge or stole and hoarded it, knowledge built up from generations of the populous. They then leave us to dine on their lies or partial truths while they treat us with contempt as the empty vessels they have made us, because of their actions.

Everything is here for us. Love, life, learning, pain, desire etc. Stay your whole life in a village or explore the world. You can learn everything you need at a micro or macro level.... it is just more information small picture or less information large picture.... both paths lead to the same goal.
Just know that until we can lose the shackles that bind our lives, we will continue to live in a land of captivity that will try its best to prevent us from our birthright of growing and learning, at every opportunity it gets, and at all levels.
