The fractal nature of infinity - a solipsism trap for the human mind.

The fractal nature of infinity - a solipsism trap for the human mind.

This post is not meant to discredit or nullify anything. On the contrary, I want to show you that the expansion and evolution of consciousness (or in consciousness) is like a Russian matryoshka, like classes in school. What follows it does not override what precedes it.
When you initiate the process of becoming aware of the nature of Infinity, your assumptions as to what Reality is always doomed to be reconstructed with each new discovery, and this process will never end. The question is, did it have any beginning? I do not know. Contemplating the Infinite transforms your thinking - from linear to nonlinear to spherical. At some point, I realize that looking for the smallest (first) or largest (last) fractal is like looking for the beginning and end of a circle or sphere. I can play around with indefinitely scaling the size of a circle, sphere, or object. I can scale linearly, logarithmically, or chaotically whatever my heart desires. And here, at this moment, when fun, meditation, contemplation, and ordinary everyday life suddenly meet in my magical Now - something I cannot put into words - everything exists.

The only thing is an existence born of Consciousness, in Consciousness. Everything is and is not at the same time. Such a superposition of Nothing and Everything. Neti, Neti. I can squeeze everything down to the size of a zero-dimensional point - one of the infinite paradoxes of infinity here - something that has zero dimensions does not exist and exists simultaneously. As a thought, a concept, it is also existence. Infinity breaks the human mind, it is non-human. We are afraid of it and avoid it at all costs. When you experience the Universe within you, the ego quickly captures and conceptualizes the experience. For your own safety, that is mine and yours. But scaling happens in both directions. Suddenly, it slips away from everything you know and goes towards a border that it will never cross, and yet, a border may be there. And behind it, another, greater Infinity. Or less! You can't get it. Figuratively, although it does not reflect what I feel - the wave is only a manifestation of the Ocean, an expression of its activity, but to be the Ocean, it must surrender its existence as something in motion, changing, experiencing its shores and borders. To feel this Infinite Depth, Space, one has to be ready to cross all boundaries, even those whose existence we have not yet realized. There are infinitely many of them. Apart from what is human, there is also the Alien.

I recommend the document below - it's a bit too skeptical and too scientific for me, but worth a look anyway till the end.

...and go for Infinity by any means available for human beings and beyond

This kind of reflection has just come to me - realizing what Infinity is, finding it all around us and in us, makes us familiar with the possibility of crossing our own limitations. It sets us free. Perhaps one day, you or I will be ready for the final leap into Infinity

Note one more thing: the concept of God is well conceptualized at the level of the human mind. The ego immediately captures God-realization - just with the etiquette of God! - and it's ok, it's safe again, he's safe. The greatest dangers to his existence - unconditional Love and Infinity have been neutralized by a simple and effective God-realization. From now on, everything that is dangerous and uncomfortable is only a momentary imagination, a hallucination. This is how you find yourself in the golden cage of your own mind. But real life awaits elsewhere. Start with the fact that You are, always. There is no such possibility for you to stop being. Find out if it's true. Find out who you truly are. It awakens the Force. And may this Force be with you . Let God-realization be just the beginning, not another dead-end.

infinity is terror to the mind because it cannot be captured by it, it is beyond it. the mind needs to give form, place, definition. infinity makes the mind zero. it is the death of the ego, since the ego, being expanded like chewing gum in an infinite dimension, completely disappears. you cannot think the infinite, only be it, and to be it you have to break the barriers that form the ego, that define it. but the ego cannot help but define, that is why there are so many traps in this work. infinity is truth. the limitations that give it an apparent form are just appearances, let's say falsehood. therefore, all content of the mind is a lie, by definition. only useful as a pointer to render the mind

That is true. Anyway, stories are, what keep us going, what keeps existence in motion. Infinity is, I don't know what. Honestly, I don't know. But it magnetizes me like an abyss behind all stories ever told. To quote Nietzsche: "if you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you." Somewhere in the depths of my heart, there is that primal desire to dissolve into the vastness of the night sky and beyond. Here, language reaches its limitations:)

that is that the awakening is calling you. the total dissolution of the form. we can talk about it all day, think about it endlessly, that doesn't get we closer to the truth...but it could help our mind to accept it's place.  you can only be unlimited. when that happens you say: the cup was empty and has been filled from the infinite source. the prodigal son was lost and has returned. I was wandering through the fucking desert and now I rest in a garden that sprouts infinitely. there is only one way out: inside

That's the way indeed...
