(in)Finite Beings
Can the intelligence of a finite being conceive of the infinite if it is not itself infinite?
If we are finite beings (a fact), then there will always have a limit to our knowledge. Even if we could record and retain all human knowledge, it would still be finite. How would we know that we have reached the limit of our “intelligence”? How does a child learn that? By encountering those that know more than him, and hopefully, he can then learn to learn from others. Thus hopefully growing into an adult who can acknowledge his or her limitations, especially in the areas of intelligence! An old adage says that it is only a fool who believes he has nothing more to learn.
Finite intelligence
What if our intelligence was limited? Surely, we do not believe that we have infinite intelligence, do we? Even if there are those deluded beings who think that they are or can become, if not gods themselves, at least like gods—they know, in their true hearts, that they are not of infinite intelligence (or infinite anything - except for the “part” that can conceive of the infinite itself)—one has to acknowledge that not everyone has that capacity.
Perhaps our vaunted intelligence can only see so far. In other words, what if we are bounded in “thought” and comprehension. For the eye to see, the brain has to be able to evaluate what it is seeing. Otherwise, the data arrives, but nothing is done with it. It is indicative of the miles of printed paper that lies trashed and useless. In order for something to be seen, it requires a seer—i.e. the transmitter needs a receiver and vice-versa!
It – the brain – can only contain a certain amount of information. Just as the holographic image that contains other information that enables us to perceive it as 3d, so there is information that is accessible that is not only from our brains, but also from somewhere else.
If the brain’s capacity is finite, its “infinite” capacity is not of the brain, but what is refer to as the soul. That is why, as we age, we spend more time in the realm of the spirit— lest we became “dead in spirit”. Thus it says, “Elohim will cause the dead to rise” – מחיה המתים.
Technology magic
Perhaps all this talk of level IV civilisations, stems around our inability to actually comprehend a technology that would be able to take us, whilst still in human form, as human beings to such an advanced and sophisticated level of existence. This level of technological progress would require another set of cognitive capabilities— which most of us do not yet have. It would take many years of training, and only those with specific talents would be able to complete it. All would benefit, and some would be harmed, but overall, it would require a certain set of “special” people - the “Indigos”, to penetrate these arcane veils. It would require a mixture of magic and form, a melding of the spiritual and the material—consensual 3d reality with angelic or 4th dimensional “intelligence”.
At each step of evolution, there are those who will remain behind to hold the foundations. One cannot ascend to a higher level without the lower levels being stable and nourished. They will continue to transact and relate in the 3d and 2d realities present, even as another ascends to 4d. These will be the ones who will enter the World to Come, and like Bodhisattvas, will guide and balance the energies of these vibrant dimensions, bringing greater fulfilment and understanding to many - as they have done throughout the ages. The only difference now, is that this is the birth time of this evolution. History is littered with failed attempts, ideas that never made it to print, that later emerged. Or that emerged in a disjoint manner in the world. When the time of an idea/direction comes, the idea will emerge.
NOTE: Which would bolster the argument that we are going to need some other sort of understanding, some part of our mental capacities that we have not yet discovered nor yet even acknowledged, let alone plumbed. Perhaps due to fear, we rather stay tethered to this purely material existence. At least it is rooted in something. As we have been saying for a long time - it will require a dynamic balance, between co-operation and competition for us to evolve.
It seems that we are driven at this stage by the belief that we can design AI to “increase our capabilities”. I do believe we are able to do this. Through bioengineering, we can physically enhance the machine that is our body, but we do not enhance the mental or emotional capabilities. Thus it might produce a type of an android, or rather a Golem - a Frankinsteinian monster that we have might built, but have no idea how to handle its lack of any depth or understanding of what it is actually doing.
Perhaps we extend ourselves to the limit of our consciousness… …and then fall back. An ever repeating tower of Babel. That, too, is the cycle that lives in everything, especially the living. Our breath, the day, the very cosmos itself. The endless cycle of Samsara, gain and lose, expand and contract, transmit and receive.
Note Which again, brings us to an interesting paradox, of actually, the belief in an infinite (or at least, greater) consciousness is what drives this desire to expand. There is a common desire to encounter the Infinite.
Two ways:
-
Encounter to reject: An expression of the pain of the rejection; the feeling of being alone and despairing, having cried out to G-d, yet not receiving any answer (or so it seems). Rather than wanting to meet, it wants to devour and destroy everything that reminds him of his Father. This makes much noise, receives much glam. It has to sell itself all the time, as exactly what it is not.
Its main drives is to (dis)prove the Infinite’s existence—by encountering it and destroying it which will prove that we are superior to that which bore/created us - and the world in which we exist.
-
Encounter to unify: Prepare to meet through cultivating acceptance and receptiveness by opening oneself to the Truth. Based on the knowledge that my Father has. has not abandoned me. He guides and speaks to me all the time, in His language, the language of Chashmal, which can only be heard in silence.
