The Veil

#infinity

A mysterious veil exists between the finite and infinite. Another exists between between the finite and zero. It is incomprehensible how the infinite “becomes” finite. Yet it “emanates”—one could say it emerges from 0, nothing, or is it emerging (contracting) from the infinite. and it will eventually return to nothing, and “disappear”—a process called “death”— transforming into that which we cannot measure.

Is zero, $0$, real? Can there really be somewhere where there is nothing? Or is it that we emerge from infinity, and return to the infinite? That $0$ is an imaginary state that emerges when there is “something”? Like $1 - 1$, the particle being “destroyed” by its anti-particle? One could propose that $\infty^+ - \infty^+ = 0$ though $\infty^\pm$ is an effect of infinity as a collection of finite elements.

Our experience of life is finite—it has a beginning and an end—and that is an absolute reality we all live with. Everything around me is finite Thus I have a clear and fundamental idea of what is finite. However, as a finite being, I can only approach infinity, never quite reach it. So the question remains: how can the finite comprehend the infinite? To explore this mystery is like trying to peek behind the curtain that everything is veiled with. I call it the mystery of the union. As we reach close to it, it rises like a mist we cannot pass through—only imagine. As much as I extend myself, I can never “become” infinite—but I can have an experience of endlessness—just beware not to get lost in it, for it is vast and one can easily lose one’s way in the realm of the infinite. Just as I can have an experience of union, actually knowing someone, yet, as much as I enter into that union, I cannot ever be that other person.

I cannot penetrate the veil between the finite and the infinite, but there is something in me that can. It will always be a mystery as to how the infinite can manifest a finite entity that is aware of itself as finite. How astounding is it for this finite being to even postulate an infinite consciousness. A consciousness that is other than itself.

Thus unless the finite has risen out of the infinite it could never “return” to it. Actually, only from the infinite could the finite have come, for only the infinite has no source, no beginning and no end.

In the upper realm, there is no finite, only the Infinite. In the finite view/comprehension, the infinite is a collection of finite objects – particles. We believe that because we are created from the universe, we might be able to understand it! But how can the finite mind understand an Infinite Cause? We can only track and learn from Its behaviour, Its reactions, and Its “communication”.

What is communication? It is the transfer of information. Thus the Infinite communicates to us finite beings through the finite things of this world. And it for us to be still enough to hear Its Infinite Guidance.

Everything thus leads to G!d, our Name for the Infinite Being

It turns out that most effective meeting place of the finite and infinite is 0, zero, nothing—the point of origin. By removing all the extraneous effects, all the coverings, letting go of self and ego and becoming like a hollow bone, it is possible to encounter the place of my point of origin, and in a state of Nothing attain an experience of the Infinite. As has been mentioned before, I can try and expand to embrace the infinite, or fill myself up with everything I can, and never reach the end, the fulfilment. The desire, the drive to reach the goal, the end, will only become more extreme, and soul-destroying, as your being becomes more and more covered in densities.

m/f But the feminine, being the receiver, needs to fill herself with the infinities of life. She feels the odours and perfumes of the flowers, thrills to the feel of the wind on her skin, responds to the sweet music of nature, dancing in the symphony of the Presence she knows all around her. As long as she can love, and be feminine, she will find a way to express this song that vibrates in her being, and channel it into nourishing some part of the world around her. If she does not succeed in this, she will follow the same path as the male, and end up with stuck, extreme, soul-destroying emotions, being held with such force, that they will become form.

The only way to expand beyond your finite constraint, and experience the Infinite, is to encounter the Zero point, the point of simultaneity, where through annihilation you touch the Infinite pleroma. Death is the only doorway to life – not physical death! The alternative is to try and become infinite. But no part of the finite can ever contain the infinite, even if it believes it can. The only infinite is infinite desire – which means that it is a desire that can never be assuaged – and that is where this desire ends up, in an infinite loop – until all our energy will be devoted to the fulfilment (i.e practise) of that desire.

That is the discipline: Turning inward, through restraint. Coming to terms with your impulse … the pulse from below. And by meeting it, and acknowledging it, turning into life affirming/positive energy.
