I have a similar attitude. I would LOVE to know and understand everything. However, I realize there is a time and a season for all things and that line upon line, precept upon precept has to come into play as well.
That doesn't deny the propriety of trying to seek out knowledge when and where you can, but a search for spiritual knowledge should not be undertaken until first evaluating where that search might take you (i.e. what kind of material you have to examine and understanding who was behind it), how important is it relative to the core principles and values of the Gospel as they relate to what I need to do to live my life in such a way that I can gain exaltation.
