That which you do not understand is infinity...

That which you do not understand is infinity...
(I typed this in a haste and cannot find the proper vocabulary to talk about my understanding. Let us talk more together and tease out the ideas!)





I think that it is impossible for any human to really understand how infinite god is. Not even god in the sense as we know him. not any Christian or any other religion god, not even mythical gods of the past. The organizer of the universe is much much bigger than that. It is not a person. It is a concept. Like a math equation. Like a law of physics. Like a code in the entirety that at one certain point in the chain of infinite possibilities of everything there is a combination of mathematical possibilities that at a certain point add up to the laws of physics and math as we understand them. From there we get the creation of the universe. The black matter big bang moment. the let there be light moment. the moment that the needle of time passes over this instant we get our universe as we know it. there is no god. Time is so much bigger than any one entity being concerned with the fate of any one given species. The fact that I can understand this makes my fate no different than the fate of any other species. There are no souls. A soul is a concept imagined by a species with a high capacity for imagination and creativity. What is in a person? Don’t they have an aura about them that makes them special? No. not at all. Humans are no different than any other species. Any other combination of cells. We think people have souls because we have the ability to think complex thoughts. But are they really complex? Just because our brains are the most developed at this moment in time does not mean that there might be something with a more complex idea processor than us. What is life even? Think bigger than this world or the next planet over. Bigger than space. Zoom all the way out until you can see time as a whole. Keep zooming. Keep zooming. It never stops. It is like looking at a map, zooming out until the dot with your pin on it becomes a dot over the entire planet. Its hard to explain. But time is infinite! Infinite means that at some other moment in the complex mathematical possibilities that make up the whole of eternity, there are possibilities that aren’t anything we could ever imagine. Something not even real, each thing infinitely smaller than the next, you cant even know it. what makes that formula for time, what makes that line that is a plane that is a sphere that is a dimension that I cannot even contemplate, infinity, is god. If you are to worship anything, worship chance, not a person but an idea that can never react to your efforts. They are in vain. Chance is an idea. Infinity is an idea. That means that there is no god. What we call alive means nothing in the scheme of forever. What happens after death? Nothing. You go back to the earth like any other organic compound. It is energy would be the closest thing to a god id say. Nothing happens after death. Nothing at all. you get one shot at this and that is it. there is no after life. There is no reincarnation. “you” is a concept. “Kayla” is a concept. In reality I am a combination of cells that have added up to a specific organism that chance at the universal level has created and a specific point in all the infinity has designed. Chance and math and physics has created the human being that is me. but what is chance but infinity unrolling in its infinite branches. Like a tree that will always branch off and will never end. Every instance in the infinity of ever has an infinite amount of counter instances. Chance is the closest word I can think of to name the phenomenon of infinity. It is impossible for us to understand infinity because we cannot understand that there other possibilities of realities that may or may not follow the same rules of physics. In the way we cannot imagine a color outside of the visible spectrum, we can never understand infinity. That is the reality of ___.
