Infinite Knowledge

-


      If the amount of information in existence is innumerable in its quantity, quality, or diversity, then the possibilities for knowledge and wisdom is just as limitless. There is an unlimited amount of knowledge to accrue, and with eternity there is an endless amount of time to accrue it.


      For a washed up academic like me, that's a very exciting prospect. Even though I've considered the idea of exploring countless worlds and playing countless games, the idea of infinite knowledge is actually something I haven't hashed out much yet, but it's a cool one.

         

       If this existence is as infinite as I think it is and as complex as I think it is, then knowledge and wisdom would be in limitless supply. Of course, the only person who would have access to the entirety of this knowledge would be God Himself, but the beauty of being one of His sons is that He can share with me some of this knowledge if He wants to. Only His mind is complex enough and vast enough to handle the immensity of all that information.


Mine? Not so much. No one can handle infinite knowledge. The thing about infinite knowledge is, like any other infinity, you can accrue an unfathomable sample of it, but no matter how big a sample it is it would occupy a zero point of that infinity. You could have all the knowledge of the universe and compared to the broader existence it would be a sample of knowledge that would be infinitely small.


It makes the saying "the more I know, the more I know that I know nothing" all the more relatable and hit a little closer to home. The beauty of this there could be an infinite amount of knowledge and every sample of knowledge still has value, almost priceless value, especially in the sight of God.


My favorite thing about this, though, is that the smartest man on earth really knows almost nothing in comparison to the amount of knowledge that exists.

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.
