Infinity - The Spiritual Dimension Explained

When I was at university, studying computer science, we had to get into an advanced mathematics course where we studied the concept of differentiation and integration. Within all that, I didn't realize at the time but we were taught an interesting topic of infinity and minimizing and maximizing the limit around infinity.

One of my greatest mentors, a doctorate in Mathematics, and the director of the university at the time, had said something that has stuck in my mind. He said Mathematics is the only language that can explain the most complicated of philosophical theories. It seemed bookish at the time but I think he may have been right all along.

In a chain of thoughts around trying to understand the spiritual dimension, the topics got connected a bit. In my days at university, we were trying to explain the concept of infinity. We tried to set a limit to it, we tried to multiply infinity with infinity or any number with infinity. We tried to add numbers to infinity, infinity to infinity. The results of all those equations was infinity. We tried to divide infinity with infinity, the result was not 1, it was infinity. Sometimes breaking all the rules, sometimes making new rules. Infinity though explained in some way was never really explained.

I think infinity is something that is not to be explained. There has to be something unknown to leave this world as is, unexplained. Even after making the greatest discovery ever, there will be something remaining that will be unexplained, infinity. If the beginning or end of something is not known, the human mind cannot explain it as it doesn't know where to start and where to end. Its something like if you wake up in the middle of nowhere, lets say middle of an ocean. All views 360 degrees being exactly the same, no indications to tell you which direction to move into, you will not know where to go. This reminds of the Matrix movie again where Neo goes into the Matrix for the first time and while the program is being loaded, both Neo and Morpheus are standing in the void, the white. Try to look at the world you are in this way. You are nothing but this minuscule being in the infinity.

The mathematical concept of trying to explain infinity went into defining dimensions. If the concept was not confusing enough already, you started layering this realm of infinity into some layers, or dimensions just to hope to find some explanation. Its totally crazy to imagine or even expect to layer through layers and dimensions and expect to find something that explains the whole concept which just to remind you has no boundaries, no center. It wasn't meant to be. All those studies led to was a more confusing mathematics course but I wouldn't want to take credit away from the great mathematicians who delved into it and gave an attempt at least.

Lets take this all into the spiritual dimension and you can draw a lot of parallels. Replace "infinity" with the One. You may call the One by different names depending on where you come from but there is a concept of Divinity that exists. That is the answer of all questions but not known. If that were known, nothing would remain unknown. As that is not known, even the known things aren't truly known.

The frustrating thing about exploring and discovery is that once something is discovered, the next discovery is built up from it. No area of exploration can be deemed complete as there is always something more to go further into. That is how infinity is. There is no end, known. 

I am confident there is an end though, even though not known yet. The human thirst for knowledge will be eventually quenched, the limit will be reached.  If you have seen the movie, the Truman Show, that moment where Truman hits the boat to end. That's what I am talking about.The infinity will be fenced. This is when the deprived soul will meet with the One. The soul searches, longs for connection to the Divine soul with which it was once connected and then parted. They talk about soul-mates, I am talking about the Ultimate Soul-mate. All else around, this world or another, will be of no value as the true purpose of the search is to find the end, the goal. The exploration mission in the quest for finding the eventual end of infinity is nothing different than finding The One.

The blatant truth however is that its not us who are within infinity. Its the infinity that is within us. Its not just the soul that wants to connect with the Ultimate, its also the other way around. Search within to find the end. Search within to find the limit. Search within to find Him.
