Invitation to Infinity

So much of life seems linear. We are taught to think in a spectrum that has start and end points. Something is created and follows a path until that something must end or run out. Consequently, it is simple to measure the rise and fall of multiple topics pertaining to this matter. Just put them on a graph with the X and Y axis and see a very two-dimensional way of existing. When it becomes easy to perceive things as finite, the process of thinking cyclically disintegrates. But we must not lose this.

Because if we lose this, the reassurance that the mystical concept of infinity becomes smaller and harder to understand. In a time like the present, if we lose that belief that everything moves in a three dimensional pattern of harmony, we lose any hope for a sustainable future. Our existence will become finite.

Consider this an invitation. An opportunity to challenge yourself to think outside of the gridlines and beyond the terminable pathway. If this can be achieved, suddenly one starts to understand that the pattern that the sun follows is no different than the growth and decomposition of a tree. Suddenly it becomes clear that humans follow a similar pathway throughout years of history. We grow, we decline, we rise and fall and repeat ourselves. Whether it be on a daily basis or measurable throughout centuries. Charles Eisenstein believes that the only way to break our fallible want to measure things two-dimensionally is to consider this to be a time where we are being born into a new paradigm. “The present convergence of crises––in money, energy, education, health, water, soil, climate, politics, the environment, and more––is a birth crisis, expelling us from the old world into a new.” Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition.

And is this is understood, we can all act as components of change. We can provoke a movement towards creating a better world, like many people have done in the past. By supporting this new way of thinking, more of us will understand we do have a say in how we perceive and conserve the natural world. We do have control in deciding how we are going to relate to it and protect it. This is an invitation to regain that mystical concept of infinity, of seeing things in 3D and doing what seems impossible. And is with this kind of faith in a cause and direction, that we will move towards a world without endpoints, where anything is possible.
