What does it mean to be infinite? The answer seems obvious, straight out of high school math: infinite means without limits. We could even say something like “it goes on forever.” Okay, that’s infinite.
But does that have any meaning for us? Spirit, God, the Divine, Consciousness, these are often called “the infinite.” If any of these words have some relationship to what we really are, then that would make what I am and what you are infinite.
But still, the question is begging to be answered: does this have any meaning for us? I would say yes, it certainly does. In a very real sense, I am infinite. And anything that seems to be finite, or not-infinite, would therefore be a false appearance. Because all that I am is infinite.
Infinite. Everything. Everywhere. Without limit.
Therefore:
I extend in all directions.
I have no boundaries.
I have no end point.
I contain everything. And more.
All things are what I am.
There is no limit to me, no end.
All past, all future, Now, these are a within me because I extend forever.
If this body dies, a new one will follow.
If this planet dies, a new one will follow.
If this galaxy is consumed by a black hole, a new galaxy will be born.
If this universe collapses, a new one will expand.
If awareness ceases, a new awareness will arise.
I would suggest that you take a look at something “finite.” If you look closely, you will find that everything in your life that seems to be a problem is a perfect example of a finite thing. If you look even more closely, really look, you will start to see the infinite in your problem. If what you see is not infinite, then it is a false appearance. Behind the seemingly finite is the infinite.
Pick something in your life with which you struggle. It could be money, relationships, health, your job, you name it. Just pick something. Sit for 10 minutes with it. Look at all the ways this thing you are struggling with seems to be composed of limits, of boundaries, of edges, of blocks to clarity. Really look! Now feel into it. Feel the edges, the limits, the aspects of it that say “impossible” or “can’t” or “shouldn’t.” Now look past these limits to the infinite beyond. There, you see it? Yes.
This, then, is the infinite nature of everything. Namaste.
