The Infinite
Is it possible for thought which is the finite to imagine and "know" the infinite. Thought separates in order to understand. It divides perceived reality into compartments of mathematics. The logic of equation provides many insights into the nature of the physical universe. Equation means "equal to". It is a language that allows one to solve complex physical variables involving the relationship of man and environment. Equation seeks truth in the logic of mathematics. So if one were just a computer, then one could instantly solve the mystery of life and realize truth through the mathematical process. But we are not computers, we are the infinite. We are not "part" of the infinite for that would imply logic and mathematics. There cannot be an opposing self. If there is a separation then there is thought as the one who thinks. When there is subject and object there is illusion.
The mind can only conceive of the finite. The finite is that which can be defined and known. If there is thought of the infinite, it is within the limitation of the finite. The mind conceives of the infinite as limitless space, which is linear thought. The idea of limitless space implies boundaries of self imposition. With the dissipation of space/time there is only the infinite there is no separation of a defined identity as the self.
In the reality of the moment one is the infinite, that which has no beginning or end. But to fully experience that which is beyond time/space one cannot dwell psychologically within an idea. The infinite should not be aligned with a concept of god or of superior being. Because being is the illusion of separation. All conceptual ideals are a perversion of truth. The mind which organizes experience into concept and thus a systematic way of seeking, of finding a repetition of the known, destroys the truth of the absolute moment. The organized is a perversion of that which is in the moment. The infinite is the energy of the cosmos and its realization is the realization of the true self.
