Explaining Infinity – Limitless Endless Space
We can’t.
🙂
To understand infinity is to intuit infinity, rather than analyse infinity. The right brain hemisphere is intuitively spacially aware. The left brain hemisphere wants to analyse. Some people need a story to hold on to (which causes conflict), while others don’t.
Intuition is the ability to understand immediately without conscious reasoning about the ‘rightness’ or ‘wrongness’ of a person, a place, a situation, or an object.
Insight is the capacity to gain an accurate and deep understanding of a problem, and is often associated with movement beyond existing patterns.
We could say that left brain is consciousness associating with past ideas, while right brain is pure consciousness without ideas.
A chair is seen; the right brain knows without further discussion that it’s a chair. The left brain wants to name it and express its beauty (or not). The right brain just sees, while the left chatters.
Both are needed to survive and communicate as humans but, in meditation, we drop all such notions.
In meditation, there is no need for explanations.
We realise that we are infinite
In an infinite universe of emptiness,
we are a speck on a speck
– a speck which has the potential to realise the whole.
