To the Point

Numbers on a number line are infinite. But at the end its just numbers. Nothing unpredictable. Maybe prime numbers are but still they are numbers. Same with strings like a, aab, aaab and it goes on and on. These are infinite in theory. A product of mind. They don’t exist physically. And they are predictable. You know whats coming next.

Space is infinite too. Scientists say there is a limit to space and the furthest star exists. But then what lies outside the universe? Is it still space? Or is it like a box? If its a box where is this box located? Even if scientists find answer to that it can be topped with another layer. Where does the object which contains the universe exist? What exists outside that?

Those questions can go on and on like infinity. A self similar structure (self-similarity). Much more interesting than numbers. Because its physical and real.

Now space is like looking at further and further objects. Zooming out. But we can also go the other way. Look at a pen tip under microscope.

You can keep on zooming and you will see interesting stuff. At the most fundamental level it will go down to atom. Whatever the alloy is made of. Zoom in further there are protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons are still made of quarks. Electrons and quarks are called fundamental particles because they haven’t been broken down.

But they might be. And once its done the next question naturally arises. Whats inside those fundamental particles? Again an infinite series of questions with no end.

Zoom out and zoom in. Infinity at both ends. But there is still a limitation here. Numbers and strings are predictable. The interesting part about them is what they represent in math proofs and sentence which means something. Space keeps asking the same question over and over. What is outside that. What is inside that. Both are self repeating. Surely understanding it helps us to understand the physical world and ultimately the technology improves. But we talking about the nature of infinity.

There is one more which is different. Your consciousness. It is nothing like the other two. Numbers and strings are a product of it. The question about space is a product of it. Imagination has no limits. Your dreams have no limits. This infinite is the most “infinite” because it doesn’t repeat. It creates. It has the capability to create more infinite.

When we look at it, it is actually me or you. Yet I am completely unaware of what exactly it is. I am using the same infinite to write down these words. Words that somehow comes to my mind. The source of which is elusive. Unable to grasp its source I see only parts that come out of it.

The parts are the point which has collapsed from unmanifested form to manifested. All my mental conditions, thoughts, past, ideas, desires collapse to this particular string of words that I have weaved now.

To get to this point, where the infinite collapses to thoughts and then to words, we are rejecting all other ideas. All other possibilities.

To get to the point means leaving aside all other. There is nothing wrong or right here. It is what it is. The awareness of manifesting thoughts from the infinite to the finite helps remind that whatever exists is just a small part of our infinite nature.
