Infinity and Paradox

You think love is something one person gives to another. But it’s not. Love is an emotion generated by a self; it is the experience of the self being absent.

You do not need to do anything to love; above anything else, it is a recognition. Love is the constant state of a reality that is not divided; simultaneously, divided by description.

Practicing infinity is precisely this. It is the acknowledgment that there is an irrevocable division of reality into units of time or space. Infinity is an endless addition of parts, but addition requires a starting point that does not exist. To see the infinite is to stop the habit of measurement. But to practice it is to solidify the potentiality of infinity using our habit of measurement. Both are done seamlessly.

Some may say: “This isn’t so.”

This is not a process of subtraction, but a process of addiction. It is so much more than any description cares to clarify. Of course it is so, and much, much more. So much more, which makes Paradox inevitable.

By removing the definitions that create limits, you remain as the underlying continuity. Infinity and Paradox is the fundamental state of existence, so far as a description that still uses words. Everything said can be removed, besides the feeling.

The tension of seeking a state of infinite awareness is the position that creates the illusion of being finite. You do not need to expand yourself to contain the universe; you might only stop the contraction that produces the idea. If you allow the definition of self to remain undefined, the distinction between the observer and the observed is gone. Practicing infinity is the recognition that the finite is a functional operation of perception for addiction, so that infinitude can be.

When you stop obsessing on the edges of your identity, you find that the infinite is not a goal to achieve, but the inevitable result of existing.
