Transcendent Visions Of Infinity — Part 01

You can find three “Transcendent Visions Of Infinity” right below.

Every single one of these visions is unique, distinct, and fundamentally transcendent.

So, with that in mind, let’s begin!

Vision 01: Singularities Of Quantity

Many of my favorite visions of infinity are centered on infinite quantities of particular items.

Just as an example, a library with an infinite number of books.

On its own, this is lovely; infinite quantities and sets, among other things, are a source of inspiration.

But, quantities, as a concept, are merely one perspective, as it were, regarding the richness of infinity.

Our goal is to expand on this perspective and to find a larger, more vast, perspective right beyond it.

Just imagine, then, a sphere.

A sphere that contains, within itself, a neverending universe; endless energy, flow, and creation.

Right within this sphere, there are an infinite number of different ideas, concepts, visions; ad infinitum.

Some of these visions pertain to “quantities.” And, some of these visions transcend quantities.

Or, rather, they transcend the idea of quantities and sets and arrays; ad infinitum.

Just beyond this transcendence, there is the infinite transcendence of infinity, eternity, endlessness; ad infinitum.

All of this is grown from, contained within, and explored — ad infinitum, naturally — the singularity.

Our concern, though, is not, purely, with this singularity

Just imagine the idea of “quantities” And, then, imagine the idea of “sets” and “infinity” and “arrays.”

And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

Just imagine that these ideas are standing next to each other, on a single level, that belongs to an infinite structure.

Right above this level, there is another level; this one with an infinite wealth of higher, transcendent concepts that we may not even be able to comprehend, understand, or interact with.

And, right above that level, there are even greater, higher, more transcendent — ad infinitum — visions of quantities, infinity, eternity, sets; ad infinitum.

Just imagine that. And, in imagining that, know that it keeps going, growing, transcending; ad infinitum.

And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

Vision 02: 33 Dimensions

Our experience of infinity is rooted within the inherent unknowability, and incomprehensibility, of the infinite.

Just as an example, if we are within an infinite entity, as it were, we cannot see, or perceive, any sort of ending, limit, boundary, wall, conclusion; ad infinitum.

If we go beyond this entity, though, then our entire perspective, on that infinitude, transforms.

Our vision, then, is to imagine an infinite space.

A neverending space that has no limit, boundary, ending; ad infinitum.

Our experience of this space, within the three-dimensional world, is bound to its infinity.

No endings, limits, boundaries, walls; ad infinitum.

If we were able to transcend the three-dimensions we experience, though, we may find that, in seeing this infinite space from a higher, transcendent perspective, it appears…small?

No, not small. But, a lot smaller.

Right within the dimensions or structures this infinity exists within, though, it appears as infinite as it is, yet comprehensible, and interactive, in ways that it does not, within the dimensions it is grown from.

All of this leads me to two new ideas.

The first of which is imagining a circle.

Just a regular circle.

Our circle is infinity.

On the outside, it is finite.

Right within itself, though, it is infinite.

If you were to go through an endless amount of space or endless quantities of movement or infinite notions of transcendent exploration or unending infinities — ad infinitum — within this infinite circle, you would still never, ever reach an ending, wall, conclusion, limit, or boundary; ad infinitum.

The second idea is a system.

A system that works with an infinite thing, to make it infinite, endless, transcendent — ad infinitum — in all dimensions, perspectives, frameworks; ad infinitum.

Just as an example, our infinite circle is, apparently, finite, when it is seen from our three-dimensional perspective.

But, what if it wasn’t?

Our system allows an infinity to be infinite across every dimension, perspective, experience, transcendent consciousness; and so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

No, that doesn’t make too much sense. But, it is fun to think about!

Vision 03: No Endings, Limits, Boundaries

Our third vision of infinity is rooted in three ideas.

The first idea is that an infinite thing has, by its very nature, no endings, limits, boundaries, conclusions, walls, ceilings, finitude; and so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

Our second idea is that the chain above — the one with “no endings, limits,” and all of that — is one infinite chain, out of an infinite, endless wealth and number — ad infinitum — of chains with different words, terms, ideas; ad infinitum.

Right after that second idea, there is our third, and final, idea…

The concept of infinite chains with endless terms, descriptors, visions — ad infinitum — of infinity and its vastness — ad infinitum — is but one concept, out of an infinite wealth of other concepts, ideas, notions; ad infinitum.

Right above this concept, there are notions of sets with transcendent descriptors of infinity, higher concepts of generative sets that actively expand on infinity, higher worlds of sets with descriptors from languages that we can never truly comprehend.

And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

Conclusion

Just to wrap this up, thank you so much for reading!

Regardless of that, though, please have a fantastic day!
