If you’re not an infinite being, what would be the purpose of your life?
- Surely not going through the motions of being born, working, accumulating, losing it all, getting sick, and dying.
You have two choices; either you live on the inactive or the active side of infinity. In either case, you have an appointment with infinity, and there’s no way to avoid it.
- If you decide to make your appointment with infinity while you still live and breathe, it’s like learning to die while you’re alive.
- Once you make this transition to the active side of infinity, your fear of death dissolves and you laugh at the folly of death.
This sense of knowing that comes from the active side of infinity means that you no longer think in terms of limits. You are the source.
- The source is unlimited. It knows no boundaries; it’s endlessly expansive and endlessly abundant.
- This is what you are, too. Discarding doubt is a decision to reconnect to your original self.
- This is the mark of people who live self-actualized lives.
- They think in no-limit, infinite ways.
- One of the no-limit qualities is the ability to think and act as if what they’d like to have is already present.
It’s your Source. You are it. God is the mind through which you think and exist. It’s always connected to you, even if you don’t believe in it.
- “Eternity is not the hereafter…this is it. If you don’t get it here, you won’t get it anywhere.” Joseph Campbell
- Say out loud, “I’m not from here.”
- The meaning is that you are in this world, but not of this world.
- Universal means everywhere and at all times. In other words, infinite.
- Your ability to connect to the eternal and live in the here-and-now will determine your staying connected.
- The word enthusiasm translates to “a God within.” Within you is an infinite passionate soul that wishes to express itself.
- It’s the god within you, urging you to fulfill a deep sense of what you were meant to be.
Re-source: Refocus
A sense of awe. You have to admit that just the concept of infinity is awesome. No beginning. No ending. Everywhere at once. No time. And all of it here and now.
- The fact that you’re a part of this infinite universe and that you emerged into the finite is mind-boggling. It defies description.
The active side of infinity inspires a sense of awe. When you’re in a state of awe, you’re in a persistent state of gratitude.
- Perhaps the surest way to happiness and fulfillment in life is to thank and praise your Source for everything that happens to you.
- Then, even when a calamity arises, you can be assured that you’ll turn it into a blessing.
Your purpose will only be found in service to others, and in being connected to something far greater than your body/mind/ego.
- People who receive the most approval are unconcerned about it.
- So, if you really want approval, stop thinking about yourself, and focus on reaching out and helping others.
