"Nothing limits reality, therefore it must be infinite" doesn't make sense to me

[NathanKa]

"Nothing limits reality, therefore it must be infinite" doesn't make sense to me:

There's plenty of things that are unlimited to be X but are not X.

For example, nothing limits me to stand up right now, but still I'm sitting down. Even tho there's nothing that forces me to sit down.

Also, isn't it just a way of framing things? Like, you could also claim that "there's nothing outside of reality to make it creative or dual, therefore nothing should exist".

I know the ultimate answer's beyond words, but still.

Also hi everyone, first post

If you were not limited to sitting down, you'd be standing up. You're overlooking the obvious: you ARE limited in that case. Your body is very much limited. Which is why it occupies a very specific position and location within the universe. Of all the possible ways you could be located in the universe, you are located EXACTLY one way -- the way you find yourself being right now!

Ponder the following: Why would reality be one way vs another way? What would enforce or obligate reality to be any particular way rather than its opposite? And what would enforce that enforcement? And what would enforce that enforcement of enforcement? And so on....

You see?

Hi, no advice. Leo always puts it well. Just want to welcome you on your first post, and say it’s natural to be confused at first. Take your time, and good luck.

 

PS : You need to take what he says a lot more literally. If nothing comes to mind for an answer or an image to this all, then that is the answer. The answer is literally nothing. This might sound weird at first, but please keep going.

So much of the pain and ignorance in this world comes from trying to admit that we have more knowledge and answers than we think we do. To admit the answer is nothing — is to admit there many things we don’t know and can still learn from.

Edit : Just want to add that admitting nothing is a lot more wise than you think. In society, we pride on geniuses. We pride on knowing things. But how did these geniuses find what they need to know and innovate world changing things on society? By admitting they don’t know, and so finding what they need to know.
