How can I ever get to infinity?
ОглавлениеWith that being said let’s get to the heart of this thing. What can you do to get to infinity? The answer is that you can’t do anything. There is no way that a person limited by time and space taking limited actions can ever get to infinity. Limitation plus limitation never adds up to infinity.
Then maybe you can stop doing something? A limited person who stops doing any number of actions will also not get to infinity. Why, because limitation minus limitation cannot add up to, or subtract down to infinity. Well then, since you can’t do anything or not do anything, how can you get to infinity?
Can you think something or stop thinking something? No, this still won’t work. A limited person thinking anything, no matter how expansive the thoughts may be, will not get him or her to infinity. Similarly, stopping your thinking can only last for a limited time, so it won’t take you to infinity either.
Fortunately there is a way out of this quandary. If you are already infinity, if infinity is your very core, then you could reach infinity, not by doing anything or thinking anything in particular but by knowing yourself. There is no energy strong enough to blast you into infinity. You cannot concentrate yourself into infinity, or purify yourself into infinity. The only option you have is to discover what’s right before your eyes, your own Consciousness.
Right now we are like a drunken person who was looking for his keys under a street lamp. When an old man came by and asked, “Where did you lose your keys?” he said, “Over there on the sidewalk.” “Then why are you looking for them here?” the old man asked. “Because it’s too dark to see them over there on the sidewalk,” the drunken man said. If you hope to find infinity, you have to look right where you lost it, and you will see that’s right where you actually experience it.
But are you sure of this? Remember this is a path for doubters, so the obvious question is “How can I possibly be infinity?” I am glad that you asked. In the next chapter, “Then who am I anyway” we will show you.
