Trying To Figure Things Out

 The biggest revelation so far this year is that conceiving of the infinite isn't something we're capable of. 


I use this metaphor: 


A 4 year old sees a tire. 

The 4 year old doesn't know the tire can go on a car. 

The 4 year also doesn't know that the car can be driven. 

The 4 year old sees the tire, the spokes on it, its color, and its size -but knows nothing beyond it. 

We know of Heaven in this way. We don't know of what's beyond Heaven in this way. 


The infinite is a lot more vast than we've given credit for. 

And as far as other divine beings that are out there go: There are infinitely more and infinitely greater than us. 


We are the cells of God's body. There are beings that are like organs to God's body. Comparing yourself against them in terms of being "small or less significant" is a wash. 

Cells don't compare themselves to organs -they just aren't comprised of as much.
