The impassable chasm

“The all is mind; the universe is mental”
The Ancient Egyptian Philosopher, HERMES TRISMEGISTUS

The ancient Hermeticists use the word "Meditation," or "Contemplation" in describing the process of the mental creation of the Universe in the Mind of The All.



We cannot reach infinity by adding or multiplying anything finite. Infinity cannot be reached, it cannot be attained, or even approached. There is only one Infinity and that is The Singularity. We will not reach infinity, we will not attain infinity, because we already are the infinity; the present is the event horizon.

Think of blackness, the void out there past the outermost reaches of our most powerful space probes and telescopes, the edge of the known universe, but more often thought of as ‘where infinity starts’ or ‘where we cannot see or record what goes on’. This illusion, that infinity starts –‘where we are not’- is formed because there are finite things in this world, on our earth. But the fact is that we are part of infinity.
"I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space." -- Hamlet
