Infinite: limitless or endless in space, extent, or size; impossible to measure or calculate. Boundless, unbounded, unlimited, never-ending, interminable.
When we look out into the universe there appears to be some kind of duality, male, female, light, darkness, positive, negative on and on, from the macro to the micro.
One could make the assumption that this duality must exist through all of creation. After all, how could any thing be created without the male and female union? So we are left
with a universe that is endlessly trying to balance it's self out, or to put it another way, to find zen. One could make an assumption that in order to achieve zen all the universe
needs to do is stay in the middle, not too much light, not too much darkness. If this were the case however, the universe would become stable and no longer expand.
Science shows us that the universe is expanding presumably forever. The universe is not infinite. It can be measured and it has an edge. It's the space that the
universe is expanding in that is infinite. Science works by proving it's self wrong. There is no such thing as scientific fact, only theory.
A simple example: At one time scientific minds thought the Earth was flat and that the sun and planets revolved around it.
Something stands as scientific fact only until science proves it wrong. What is fact today, is tomorrows fiction. So one could say that we acquire knowledge not by knowing
what is right, but by learning what was wrong.
When we use the word "God", what do we mean? God: The creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being. Clearly because the universe is not infinite this definition will not do.
I would like to use the term "the all" as I feel it more closely represents what I would consider truth. All: used to refer to the whole quantity or extent of a particular group or thing. Everyone, everybody, each person, every person
"all are welcome" each one, the sum, the total, the whole lot. Everything, every part, the whole amount, the (whole) lot, the entirety. For something to exist, it would mean that it is indeed part of the all, not somehow outside,
the all has no edge. The all is all knowing and is the source of all thought. Enlightenment: Insight, understanding, awareness, wisdom, education, learning, knowledge, illumination, awakening, instruction, teaching,
sophistication, advancement, development, culture, refinement, cultivation, civilization.
In the word enlightenment there is the word light, and in the definition the words illumination, wisdom, and knowledge. So we could make the assumption that knowledge is light.
Light is energy and energy cannot be created or destroyed. Force: strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement. Strength, power, energy, might, effort, exertion;
impact, pressure, weight, impetus. The light force is the driving force behind the expansion of the universe, and therefore, our awareness because as the universe expands so too does our knowledge of the universe it's self.
Ignorance: Lack of knowledge or information, unawareness of, unconsciousness of, unfamiliarity with, inexperience with, lack of knowledge about, lack of information about. Darkness: The partial or total absence of light, blackness, gloom, dimness, murkiness, shadow, evil, wickedness, sin, iniquity, immorality;devilry, the Devil. Now with the understanding of "the all", and that light is knowledge, how can there be any darkness? The darkness is the void, the light is attracted to the darkness. If you where to go into a pitch black room what do you see? You see nothing, but if you flip the light on you see the space that is the room. As soon as you flip the light on the darkness disappears. The void is the never ending room. The light is attracted to the darkness (it wants to see the unknown.) The attraction of the light to the darkness is the engine that drives eternity.
There is no boogie man. No such thing as an evil plant or animal, or man. There is only ignorance and ignorance generates fear of the light. We are not male or female, black or white, American or Russian, human or animal.
We are light and we can not be created or destroyed. We are eternal! There is no difference between us and "the all", we ARE "the all'. The universe is mental: when we look out, we are really looking in. When a person uses
certain psychedelic plants they experience other realities beyond our current ability of understanding. When they make these journeys they are not blasting off to some new place. It is in fact a journey deep into ones own mind and the higher intelligence is their own. Just a theory
"Who is this that darkens counsel by words without any insight?
How do you feel still not alone a cold suspicion is starting to grow?
How do you feel still not alone? Animism of wisdom is our only hope."
