I think of existence then I exist?
If the concept of infinity is accepted, then ALL things are infinite. Imagine infinity as something that is stretching, constantly, a moving entity. This means that everything within it is also stretching. Note: Don't take stretching literally, it is symbolic. It is easy to imagine infinity as a moving entity rather than being static. Being static gives the impression of a beginning and an end.
So, without understanding relativity as the theory of another but as an idea of infinite relativity. It is infinity that is the relation of everything.
Within infinity it makes sense that there are infinite possibilities. So don't rule out any.
p.s There are no theories in this post and no proclamations so don't jump to conclusions.(without thinking about it)

I'll draw you a map? Its better up here than it is down there. Oh wait, what whats up? Of course if there was one person on each of the poles and both were pointing up, they would be pointing in opposite directions.

Am talking about the "concept" of infinity. The stretching i said was not to be taken literally, it was a representation. Explain the existence of infinity without saying the words ' it just is' or words to those effect. tell me how it is possible for something to have no beginning or end? That is a principle of infinity. Once you grasp that infinite exists it must be accepted. Finite cannot exist within infinity?

An old monk is in a Zen garden raking sand. He moves very slowly and makes perfect waves around the various rocks and a few leaves fall silently from nearby trees. It is mid-day and he is having tea in perfect silence. There is this fellow who is thinking all the time and he comes to sit beside the Zen garden, and before too long the two of them are sitting in perfect silence having tea together, and our thinker has never know such perfect peace.

Does accepting infinity leads to all things being infinite? An infinite set could contain finite subsets.
Stretching infinity is paradoxical - for something to stretch it must have bounds, which is denied by an infinite nature, and only finite subsets can be described as stretching; consequently their end may have stretched significantly from their beginning but they remain finite nonetheless.
Perhaps we are viewing infinity through our own finite windows of existence and though we may stretch our windows this only allows us to see a larger finite window. An infinite being existing omnipresently attempting to view finity through an infinite window would no doubt suffer inverse deliberations.

It is hard to grasp the big picture with finite thought. If you sit and watch the big bang, you have finite state filling infiniteness. I think the “big bang” is a pacifier for finite thought. I don’t think that it is so much that because I am conscious that I exist, but rather because of infiniteness I am, whether I comprehend it or not. Existence is a perpetual state of being that encompasses infinite man who is the outcome of the infinite One. Finite thought is a little light when trying to touch the infinite image idea.

See, most people find it funny, when someone takes courage to really think !
Logical thinking too, is a way to reach the ultimate truth, only if it can merge with experience , only at the 'dead' end of the path....
That is why this path yields lesser persons to success....
It would be nice if the self-awareness, that seeking from within, be allowed to just 'witness' the thoughts first, then slowly, the experience of within, and then you will surely 'find' and experience a prototype of the whole "infinite" within....
Best wishes.

the concept of infinity is daunting all we can do is work together side by side and hope that our actions will create a ripple bettering the lives of the people we bump into. Better forget the big picture just try to be a possitive drop

I agree , I believe the only limits to possibility's are my own imagination . I also believe time does not exist and it is possible to Live in a state of timelessness , I worry sometimes that I go down these routs of fantasy because I am afraid to grab life with a passion. right at the end of the Francis prayer he sais" it is only through dying that one awakens to everlasting life"

not to insult at all but.. i just had to say this.
i don't think you did think.
must be static. if it stretches sometimes some place it wouldn't be ...infinite.
what is it are you claiming to be infinite? only that thing would have infinite possibilities..
not those things finite that are within it.
love that first answer. whenever i see or hear "bud". that says it all.

youve taken some pretty good strides toward constructing your thought experiment laboratory. just follow your current ideas through to conclusion and youll have a nice mind state to test ideas in.
