This is my latest digression from the original thought which is long forgotten.

There is no SELF. The all of life is not a collective of individuals but instead an individual collective. No thing is separate from any other thing, at least no more separate than they are the same. The 'spirit' that 'you' (your body) represent is the same 'spirit' that 'I' (my body) represent. We all and everything else are tiny pieces to the puzzle that make up that spirit. It is like the multitude of cells that make up your single body. That spirit is the ONE, the ALL, or GOD, that is the universe.

Beyond that, as everything in this universe are different elements of the ONE, the ONE is just a tiny element along with an infinite amount of other ONEs that all make up yet another ONE. This newest ONE is a part of more ONEs of that level to create another ONE and that system goes on to infinity. And in the reverse, the universe that we live in is the grand total of a collective of universes that descend to infinity.

There is no beginning. There is no end. There is only change.


What does it feel like to think that in just the jam under your pinkie nail may exist infinity?

What do you all have to say about this or add to it?

"And then," spoketh God...

What else must be stretched out to touch the edges of infinity? How about life? In my little world I've created for myself to waste time thinking about, a being could exist as an eternal learner. It has been learning for an infinite span of time and will continue to learn until it reaches infinity (reaching infinity being never). The learner exists as his own ONE and uses his ONE as a tool to experience and learn about other ONEs and in turn to become one with those ONEs. Once this ONE becomes one with every ONE that make up the next level of ONE, then he may become one with that next level ONE. And then may continue to learn about all the new ONEs he has just discovered. This is a lesson that is constantly being learned but will never be learned.

Thats all i can squeeze out today. I'd like to know what anyone else has to think about this thought and what other thoughts it has sparked in your thinking.

I have fire here. Bring my your gasoline!

Psssst ... don't tell God ... but I think all this learning and ONE*ing is just an excuse to Make Love Madly!

Bito! hahaha!

It is a wonderful thing when two ONEs, each capable of love, can unite and create ONE love.

Sounds contradictory to me.

You see, In this "infinite universe" everything is GOD. Because the GOD is the ultimate ONE. And there is only one god!
