Time Is the Medium Over Which the Infinite Becomes Finite
The Truth About The Canvas: Where Infinity Meets the Finite
A few days ago, while walking, something clicked. You know how sometimes the world just opens up a bit wider, and you see things in a new light? That happened to me.
It kind of felt like stepping into a live physics class, but it was way cooler. I saw this… vision, let’s call it.
Imagine the timespace continuum from your high school textbook, but add a twist where the top is infinity — endless, boundless, you get the drill.
And as you trace your way down this continuum, infinity starts to morph, to take shape, to become finite, available in our 3 Dimensional reality..
It’s like watching water flow from a vast ocean into streams, then into rivers, and finally into a single glass of water.
Or a thought transforms into action, or an idea taking physical form.
Mind-bending, right?
Time is like this medium, this bridge that allows you to draw, to make the endless get edges, to make the boundless become bounded for a while.
Every choice we make, every path we take, is like a dot on this continuum, moving from the potential (the infinite) to the actual (the finite).
Explained In Detail: How To Leverage This Power Lurking Within You
Its easy: The best part is that we are all artists from this perspective!
We each have the power in us to create, to create something from nothing.
This is a dance between the infinite colors and creation opportunities that life brings and the bounded space we live in called earth, humanity, laws, regulations, etc.
Take some time to think about this deeply!
What I also find interesting is that Kurzgesagt just did a video on this topic!
Without time, everything would exist in an eternal ‘now,’ with no beginning or end, no growth or decay, and no stories to tell.
So while time lasts (some say it doesn’t even exist or is an illusion, to which I also kind of agree), enjoy it, create in it, and live it!
Yes, from the perspective of the infinite, time does not exist.
But from the perspective of the finite mind, it does.
Sounds paradoxical, like life sometimes is;)
See it as another duality like yin — yang, positive — negative, life — death, black — white, growth — decay…another duality in which the dual parts should NOT fight one another, but complement each other and dance with each other!
Become The Artist — Start Painting!
It’s a bit like art, isn’t it? An artist starts with an infinite array of possibilities — a blank canvas, if you will.
He breaks down infinite options into a few finite ones.
He is a bender of light!
We start with the infinite potential of who we could be, and over time, through our choices, actions, and experiences, we become the unique, finite individuals we are today.
Our future is not a single path laid out before us, but a vast landscape waiting to be explored. The decisions we make today and the paths we choose to walk, are brushstrokes on the canvas of our lives, shaping our tomorrow.
We are all standing in our own light, always blinded by it, but obscured by all the layers of the past. So do we choose to be here now, to create from this place we call here and now? I say… Let’s do it!
