We are a limitless being which chose to live itself as a multitude of limited creatures. In our limited states, we can no longer fathom what it means to be infinite.

This doesn’t mean that we’ve lost our capacity for infinitude, or that we’re forever condemned to live and die and live and die again as mortal creatures in an endless cycle of birth and death. It means that while we are here, in these bodies, our limitless nature slowly dawns on us.

Being limitless, our capacity for awareness is also limitless. What needs to expand while we are here is our awareness; our awareness of our own nature.

Some, being recently born as corporeal beings, are largely unaware of this limitlessness. If you tell them what they are, they will not understand you. Others, having participated in the cycle of birth and death a little while longer, are partly aware of their endless nature. A few, being old souls, are much more aware of their eternity. These can demonstrate their access to the endless through what others might call miracles.

All of us are in the process, not of becoming, but of awaring. For we are already all that we ever could be. We can’t become any more than we now are. Our fallen states, our moral retrogression, these exist in proportion to our awareness of who and what we really are.

Just because we can’t see limitlessness doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. Simply because we don’t experience our own endlessness doesn’t mean that we aren’t infinite and eternal. The ‘we’ is key. Seeing myself as an individual, I’ll always experience limits. Individuality is a symbol of limits. The individual is, by definition, limited. If we become aware of the dissolution of the boundary between you and me and everyone and everything else, we develop an infinite energy powered by the dissolving of that boundary.

The only barrier, then, is the barrier the individual places on awareness. From this side of that barrier, everything appears limited. All things have limits because all things – from time to energy to individual objects – are confined within boundaries. Yet still, we can imagine forever, and it is indeed our imaginations which hold out hope for us, since without the ability to imagine limitlessness, each of us would be trapped within limits, forever. But to imagine that anything can be forever suggests that forever is. And if forever is, then everything must be limitless, since nothing could stand outside the embrace of infinity.

Have hope, then, that though it seems to exceed your grasp, that though it seems beyond you, that if the infinite is, then you must be a part of it, and participate in it. The endless is that which is beyond boundary. And since that without boundaries has no separate parts, then you are much more than a part of it. You are endlessness itself.
