Just had a tiny observation that I felt like sharing

[electroBeam]

Just noticed something tiny the other day. Had a silly idea in my head that infinity meant something like a number line, where you would chronologically go through each number 1 by 1 for infinity. So for example, you would reincarnate through the lives of each person and alien and whatever 1 by 1 forever, knocking off each person at a time. But just noticed maybe its not that way. Maybe just having the free will to do whatever you want IS infinity. Because free will means you can do whatever you want. And you'll do something different every time because its free will. Its free. There's no necessity to ensure you'll knock off every number and leave no number unturned, if you skip 12 or 50 does it matter? It goes on for infinity anyway.

Great realization. I think you could take it farther by questioning .... What’s ‘it’?

Yes, from my pov there is the illusion of having free will and actually have free will. I think that reincarnation happens when there's the illusion of something separate controlling you/your dream. But once you break the code, you should have infinite free will instead of identifying with the finite lifeform or dream character. Every moment is infinity anyway so evolution doesn't actually need shape-shifting to infinity. Only form identifying with form goes through each number which is nothing but a misinterpretation of the reflection of the true Self... like in the story of Narcissus.

Great suggestion thanks!

"it"s a pain in the ass because I can't figure out what it is

@electroBeam

Infinity is the experience of no experience, experientially speaking. 

The pain in the ass is that you keep believing what people say about what is prior to experience. 

It’s like that thing people sometimes do, where they say oh you got something on your shirt, and when you look down, then they slide their hand up and smack your face. 

Feel the slap, disregard the pointing. 

If you think you have two hands, you haven’t been slapped by infinity.

Yes but the line is getting long.
