infinite expanses (pt.1)
what is the more ignorant or arrogant assumption: to assume infinity and aspire to experiencing it, or to limit the field until infinity is proven (breaking thru levels of limits)?

one postulation is to suggest that only thru understanding the limitations of this experience can we transcend it. i feel this this mode of inquiry is full of unsolvabale paradoxes and self imposed boundaries. to speak the limitation is to create it. as we observe the world and name it we determine it, to a certain extent. perhaps it is more accurate to suggest that there is an intricate and powerful pattern working on this material plane and we need to unravel its parameters.

but what if there really is no limitation and all of this reality is mind made.

the skeptik or cynik will point out that gravity works and that the laws of physics appear as limitations, indeed almost insurmountable ones. hard line scientists might point out that transcending such "laws" requires more than imagining they don't exist.

right?
