AMP,
Interesting remark. I find it very stimulating, will we ever achieve it?
Buddhists call it "Maya", the belief that everything which one sees in this world is illusion. I believe William Blake had that in mind when he wrote "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell."
For the likes of Aldous Huxley and Jim Morrison,it seems, they remained opened as long as they took mescaline and LSD. The suffering they endured as they approached the end of their lives suggests that those doors, if indeed they opened at all, remained if not closed, at least half open.

With a true perception on anything, a true perception of everything is possible. Unfortunately, people physically do not have the capability of this now, nor have we ever had it. If you did have a correct perception on a situation, all things would appear as they really are...either infinite or bound by parameters.

The door of perception has been open since birth. What other way is there for an individual to grow, to learn, to appreciate and come to the reality of life. 'Things' were here long before you & I, I don't doubt they'll be here long after we've gone too. Perhaps we'll have the privilege of answers since time begun to venture on in what could only have driven us insane in our current & limited form.

There is a subtle but important difference between "all things" and "everything". Whereas "everything", meaning the universe, can certainly appear infinite, "all things" implies that each individual thing would appear infinite, which would certainly be confusing.

Wiiliam Blake. And I think the quote is "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.

No. but being able to percevive things once hidden to you is a step in the right direction.With perception comes understanding and then acceptance and with acceptance comes peace.

infinite? not sure, but you will certainly have a more empathetic understanding outside of your own perception, which is limiting...
lsd makes things feel infinite!

Well, everything appears as one, and when we are one with the universe then everything is infinite...
