Your following statement, coug, indicates to me that you are someone who makes up his own mind based on what you, personally, find acceptable and can agree with …
”Just because we were "taught" or "learned" here (on this plane) that there is always a beginning and ending or source and destination or.... to things does not make it so in my mind, because of that pesky little word... Infinity (which I "believe" in, btw).
If I’m correct in that assumption then I say, "good for you" !! It’s the way to be, in my opinion.
Let’s now think about that pesky little word, “infinity”.
It seems to me that one could see it in terms of Time and/or Space with regard to the magnitude of something.
Let’s first consider ‘Time’ ….
Now I’m certainly no physicist etc.., but from what I’ve read and what is currently acceptable to me, is that it seems that Time is not, as most see it in terms of, Movement.
Accordingly, Time is expressed in units of years, or days, or hours, where these units were established based on the relative movement of our earth to the sun etc…
The fact is that Time has no movement. It is us, or things, that MOVE through, or in, a static place referred to as space, and ‘Time’ is our way of counting these movements.
So when, for example, the earth rotates once around the sun, we have divided that movement into 365 parts, or days, and that day into 24 hours, etc…
And in addition, according to several brilliant minds of the past, if we took off from earth and we were able to travel far enough and fast enough, we could look back and observe the event of ourselves taking off in the first place !!
Think of the “light” that we see from the stars. That light left its origin a very long “Time” ago, but we are only seeing that event now. So if one was able to travel faster than the speed of light, one could get “ahead” of that “light ending” and observe what it is portraying.
Of course, most restrictions apply to physical objects in terms of how fast and how far they can travel. The same does not apply to “non-physical” forms such as our thoughts and “Source”.
So Time is not a movement but “a Moment”, the “Now”. In fact, everything that has ever happened (or ‘going’ to happen) is happening Now.
Being able to observe it depends on your ‘place in space’ and the form that one requires to be in, in order to observe it.
One could, of course, think that if something has already happened, then we are powerless to change our future. But I believe we have to see it in terms of our physical and non-physical form. In our physical form we are positioned in the “Time – Space” configuration where we are not consciously aware of a “future” occurrence, and therefore we do not ‘know’ it has happened. We have not ‘remembered’ our future. And if one has not remembered, one does not know, and if one does not know, then it is not a fact for us.
A thing happens when it is experienced, and a thing is experienced only when it is known.
One of the important aspects of us in our physical form is the fact that we bring no memory with us to “this plane”. That is important in terms of our personal quest.
Now to the aspect of Space …
It seems that Space is Time demonstrated.
And there is no such thing as completely “empty” space with nothing in it. Even what is emptiest has stuff in it. When, or if, this stuff is not there, then we have Energy which manifests as Vibration.
Apparently this Energy is what holds Matter together. There was a time when the physical universe as we know it was condensed into a very small and very dense unit, and there was virtually no “space” within that unit, in contrast to the huge space that usually exists within what we generally regard as “solid”.
Prior to that very dense unit there was no Matter at all, just the highest vibrating energy, which some refer to as anti-matter. And that pure energy vibrated so fast that it formed Matter and that very dense unit of Matter became the stuff of the expanding universe, which has been expanding at a speed one cannot imagine, and would certainly give one the impression of ‘infinity’.
Apparently a time will come when the energies Driving that expansion will die out and the energies holding stuff together will take over and pull everything together and the physical universe will contract. And once again there will be no matter but just pure energy, as is an aspect of the Central Source.
But then there will be a repeat of the process and another physical universe will be born and expand and, eventually, contract …. And so will things, apparently Infinite, come and go, expand and contract, for all “Time”. |
