Sailing forward in a cosmic vessel
through an ocean towards infinite horizon.
Feeling your pull within every wave
towards an edge of the self’s realizing.
Your gentle reminder to something more,
flickers of hope under a starry night.
A soul alone in the darkest times
seeking beginnings by following the light.
Whispers of wind carry your story
only connected by the passage of time.
Maybe we’re here to write a new chapter
even if a finite expression is all we will find.
Infinite (adj.) - late 14c., "eternal, limitless”
It’s impossible to fully rationalize the concept of the infinite.
Much like in the way it was referred to in the Tao Te Ching, once it is spoken of, you have already failed to fully capture it.
Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.
Rationally, it then makes no sense to explore the infinite
What can be gained through exploring a concept with no concrete conclusion?
However, it is an awakening to the infinite nature of reality that can serve as the foundation for breaking free from illusion and creating a new paradigm in alignment with the truth of who we are.
I recently did a podcast with Troy McLachlan (soon to be released).
Troy is a researcher and author, having most notably published The Saturn Death Cult.
While much of our chat was tracing the origins of the elite occult worship of Saturn, we spent a fair amount of time chatting about the nature of the spiritual journey.
Troy gave me what I view to be the best definition of spirituality I’ve come across:
“Spirituality is the intellectualization of the infinite.”
Having been involved in many spiritual communities, I notice there is a strong tendency to play down the role of mind in our spiritual awakening.
However, if we completely detach from or negate the mind in a quest to become in alignment with the higher self, what meaning is left in the journey of life?
Our mind is the home for all sensory experience.
When we depart from a mystical or peak experience, we come back home into the mind by attempting to make sense of what we just experienced.
The mind is as much spiritual as the mystical experience itself.
Your neural networks mirror much of what we see in nature, seen in fractalized patterns that repeat at every scale of reality.
What you see in the world around you is all an extension of you, all touched with that same essence of infinity.
So why does it matter?
We are constantly bombarded by the chaos of politics and division.
It’s one crisis after the other and it comes in many manifestations: war, famine, hunger, homelessness, etc.
What can we possibly gain from a concept that can’t even be fully comprehended by the rational mind
Exploring the concept of infinity is not just crucial for the spiritual journey, but in tackling global issues as well, as it dissolves the illusions that bind us—separation, scarcity, and ego identity.
When we can transcend the illusion of self, that our consciousness is not finite, we become less attached to all things that are temporary.
Most of the world’s suffering comes from attachment—possessions, relationships, cultural and societal norms. When we recognize we are infinite, the fear of loss, and even death itself, no longer binds us.
Fear is the only weapon that has enslaved humanity into chains of separation.
Dissolving the illusion of separation and recognizing all is interconnected leads to deeper compassion, love, and a sense of belonging to something far greater than the individual self.
This truth of interconnectedness is known to the soul and has paradoxically been hijacked by many of our systems and institutions to bring about conformity under the guise of unity.
True unity means honoring individual differences and cultures while organizing ourselves under moral common law principles.
To explore infinity is to step beyond the mind’s limits and into the unknown—the only space where transformation, awakening, and true freedom reside.
When we can grasp this, life no longer becomes a series of random events—it’s a sacred unfolding of something far beyond our comprehension.
It doesn’t need to be rationalized, only experienced.
When enough of the world experiences this, only then will we begin to create a new paradigm built in the foundation of love, truth, and freedom

What are thoughts, really? Where do they come from? I have heard theories that thoughts are not our own, but are more akin to transmissions we receive, with which we shouldn't identify. I intuitively believe that there is truth to this, yet to "think" this way, with this awareness, makes me feel a bit psychotic, like my reality is wavering constantly, like my mind is a ship on an endless sea just being tossed around.
