From Gary... What lies beyond knowledge

I confess, it took me awhile to get this one!!!  But, when I did, I really liked it. For some reason, the bottom frame almost dares you to understand.  And the longer I look at the picture(s) the more I get it!!!  Just goes to show you- anyone can be dense!!!  But, even the most brilliant among us can't know everything.  We, as human beings, are limited by our corporeal bodies and finite understanding of both life and the universe we live in. As proof, I offer the following passage...
1 Corinthians, Chapter 2 (WEB)
1 When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.  2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.  3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.  4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,  5 that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.  6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.  7 But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,  8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.  9 But as it is written, 
“Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear,
which didn’t enter into the heart of man,
these God has prepared for those who love him.”
God is... smarter, wiser, more insightful, more powerful, more gracious, more understanding and has a greater scope of comprehension than what we can possibly imagine. And even this is an extremely limited list!!!  And to top it all off, God is SPIRIT, so I guess the answer to that dog's question is GOD!!!

Since these things are true, I can't wait to see what the emboldened part (verse 9) above really means!!!
