Infinite depth.

5 posts in this topic

Ive heard this mentioned before, but I dont have any insights into it nor any understanding. Infinite depth: what does this mean? what can this be applied to? Is there any way to use this concept toward assisting our development/growth?

For example: many people think we are at the pinnacle of understanding the universe through science. Could say, science be infinitely developed? Meaning in the direction of discoveries and developments, but also the structure as well? If so, what do you think this would look like.

Or another: weightlifting. Many people get stuck at a certain weight/body mass without using steroids, and when they do I'm sure there is a cap. But since were all god, if we tapped into that couldn't that develop, say infinitely? Does this apply to things like that or does this only apply to structures and systems? 

Any insights?

No-thing can be infinite, for it to be a something would mean it's finite.

"Depth" is within infinity.

@fridjonk haha... good point!

I was thinking that, since a medium is a thing to outflow an infinite amount of content, I'm wondering if the development of that structure is infinite (like science, or government). We dont necessarily see it stopping now.

I know nothing finite can be infinite such as objects or structures because all of those are forms and concepts.

Infinite Depth sounds like another way of saying endless options, development, growth, change, identities, perspectives. A cycle  


Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?

Maybe for something to be infinite, it is satisfying. For example, scientific accuracy (like heart surgery) and human governance do not need to go infinitely deep. These realms only need to penetrate deeply and accurately enough and integrate dynamically enough with flowing systems. Perhaps exploration and subtlety satisfy the craving? Perhaps I can satisfyingly touch people's lives?


An old Psalm says, "Deep is calling unto deep."  There is a surging roar of everything-that-might-be-but-is-not, to everything that is. It is not necessary to penetrate infinitely deep because it is incredible to hear the sound of creation and become it.


I took a passive approach to the source being. I emphasized, "given-ness" (that I happen to be here). I sometimes woke up in wonder and awe, that I would exist (with arms and legs). Maybe I can make life a little less confusing for the people around me.


Here is an example of depth in progress: Doctor Matt Lewin is developing a general nasal spray antidote for the paralysis and uncontrollable bleeding caused by snake poisons. People have invented antidotes for particular venoms out of venoms (and that is deep right there). Snakes bite five million people per year, and 94,000 to 125,000 die. But, Dr. Lewin tested a more general antidote on himself. He poisoned himself with deadly venom (so paralysis set in), and then applied his generic no-refrigeration-needed nasal spray. He got ethical approval to publicize his self-experimentation by calling it 'nasal spray for muscle relaxation.' He is still working on research and funding.
