The Infiniteness of God

-

 


     In my relationship with the Creator, I am partial to focusing on what I view to be the magnitude of His creation, which I believe to be infinite in its own right, even given the finite (albeit still massive) state of our own universe.

   

     I often neglect to focus on the infiniteness of the Creator himself when I focus only on the creation. The Creator's infiniteness is of a degree and intensity that far exceeds even the infiniteness of what He created. This is hard for me to imagine. It's hard for anyone to imagine very well, to be honest. It goes over the heads of humanity as a collective by, well,...an infinite number. 


         No one can understand the mind of an infinite God, nor can they understand the connections and intricacies of the complexities within such a mind, or the intensities and richness of its thoughts and constructs. 


 For me, and my relationship with God, no matter how awesome His creation is or any other component of his infiniteness, it is the infiniteness of His love that makes up my admiration, takes up my fascination, wakes up my imagination, and shakes up my mental state in a positive way as I try to grow closer to Him. 


       I play a lot of word and number games in my writings and talks. As far as God's love goes, I would say things like "God loves me more than the 954.5 nontillion possible forms that love can take in this sector of the infinite existence." Just random extremely massive numbers combined in a phrase that suggests love can take uncountable forms. 


         It's mostly wordplay, but it is mind expanding wordplay that stretches the limits of your imagination. The idea of a mind with the ability to generate an infinite amount of forms and an infinite amount of ideas exists at least conceptually (otherwise I wouldn't be able to write this post). 


     As I focus on the infiniteness of God's love for me and all His children, I play around with numbers and concepts. The main point with this mind exercise is to make me aware of how complex God is and how vast His mind is. If I can imagine that there would be an infinite amount of forms, or an infinite degree of intensity, that things like God's love and God's glory can take, then God can think of this too. 


   Obviously He can, because He made me who I am, and I'm pretty sure His imagination is infinitely more vast, and infinitely more powerful, than mine. So too, in terms of vastness, is His infinite love for me.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion. (If you want to read more of my own writings and my AI work I've done on word sets and word fields, check out my article here:  Words-A...
