How I Imagine Infinity

Article Abstract by: CrazyEyez    

Original Author: Dominique Baptie
How I imagine infinity
It is beyond everyone’s grasp and imagination, what is beyond what humanity has discovered. Is
it too massive for the mind to comprehend or does it all belong inside the ever-expanding mind? The more we question existence and its body the more it expands.
We consider our minds to be super diverse, able to control and perceive but how diverse can an entity be when really it only knows itself? How it thinks, how it reacts, how it questions and understands. The rest is just an opinion and self-acclaimed perception.
We all know more or less about the universe we live in, but it is outside of this universe that we have absolutely no knowledge of and in the average mind, it does not exist. And if it does, in a general sense it is not thought or discussed of (I am talking of the general population on our planet).
Is it possible that space and matter just continues into existence for eternity?
My theory: Existence, space and its perceived depth (even matter therein) is measurable only by the individual life on Earth.
As the universe has scientifically, chemically and mechanically evolved and adapted, so, as I believe the conscience has too. If you remove your body, your entire physicality, what is left ultimately is the mind. This is the conscience and its thought process. As far as feelings go it is argumentative on weather the mind controls feelings or feelings control the mind. My view on this is a combination of three variables that work in conjunction, feeding off each other and affecting each other. This is what I believe the ‘soul’ is. A conscience (just pure energy of awareness), a mind (this processes what the conscience perceives) and emotion (a unique entity that affects the decisions and perceptions the mind makes).
One could say a conscience existed first and evolved over years to become what we are today, but how does awareness create a mind, then assign emotions then take on a physical form?
I don’t believe either can exist without the other, they are one. The ‘soul’. Unique energy.
Perhaps we have created this physical world in our minds. More so I believe in our mind.
Have you ever considered the possibility (since we know that the world we live in and everything in it is connected and essentially made of the same matter) that we too are all one. One soul, one mind, one conscience. As individuals we are playing out every possible life scenario. We have allocated a physical body to every thought and inch in our mind. This is why there is so much diversity (unimaginable diversity) which creates unimaginable infinity. Think of how powerful the imagination really is, so powerful that some people convince themselves of being the most obscure things, like animals or aliens. Then we deem these people ‘crazy' or ‘mental’. But is it really that obscure. If we are all one, then essentially we are all ‘crazy’ as we are all creations of one mind.
The mind (being one) has imagined and created all of us, all of this, and we have created what we believe to be our own minds. I think a lot of ‘mental’ patients do not have a ‘sickness’, I think they have just delved deeper into all of this than most and have imagined even more minds within their own to a point of belief and reaction.
I think we have all reached points of ‘madness’, most of us just decide to stop travelling those roads and come back to ‘reality’. A reality we have created and named, but by what measure do we call this reality, as we know nothing else. We have nothing to compare it too. What exists outside of our own reality? Infinity, which we cannot perceive.
If we are all just reenactments of a single soul, a single mind playing out every life scenario, then Bob Marleys conscience message of one world, one love really is the only solution to a life of peace and harmony. When we realize that every little thing we do as perceived individuals has an affect on everything that exists and actually live in a manner that is non destructive in any way to any living thing, only then, I believe, we will know the meaning of life and understand what is beyond our minds.
We are infinity, we create it everyday. The longer our minds wonder, the longer it exists. When two perceived minds act or feel simultaneously, we call it connection. We feel like we are a part of something. Surely if every ‘living’ person, stopped and simultaneously connected, we would feel whole…we would feel as one.
