The human mind likes to categorise the world. It likes to put limits on things. In doing that it gets caught up in the belief that the world is limited and limitations are real. We feel that there must be beginnings and ends to things. We feel that there is cause and effect, question and answer, start and finish, seeking and finding. It's time to shake off that mistaken viewpoint. The world is infinite.
Although we may conceptualise causes and effects, truly the cause doesn't begin, and the effect doesn't end. We could say that an effect of something is brought about by a cause, and that the cause comes from a series of causes and effects chained together. But truly there is just an unending flow. What from one point of view can be considered a cause can also be considered to be an effect. So although it's useful to consider causes and effects, it is not strictly true. It is more like the flow of a sine wave, where we can label peaks and troughs of the wave, but really it is a continually flowing wave.
This applies to the whole of the world. The world is a never-ending story. Although the universe may seem to explode into activity and ultimately return to stillness, its beginnings and ends are in infinity. The universe appears out of the infinite, remains in the infinite, and returns to the infinite. Really the universe doesn't go anywhere. It is the appearance of going somewhere and returning back to where it always is.
But the human mind doesn't really think like that. It likes to have limits on things. Thinking works dualistically in a Non-Duality. That means that thinking works with objects, this and that, where the real nature of the world is This. The real nature of the world is an infinite indivisible Singularity, whereas thinking can only process in terms of distinct and separate things. So thinking inevitably assume limits on things.
We have thoughts that if we achieve something then we will be happy, or if we find the answer to an important question then that will suffice, or there is a peace that we can find. This may be how thinking works, but experience says otherwise. Really, we know that there is no magic thing that we can achieve that will bring a lasting happiness, and that answers usually prompt more questions. The good news is that the peace that we will never find is right here now. Searching for peace is like trying to find silence by calling out for it. Only when we stop the searching and accept what is, will the peace that is right here become evident.
The never-ending story of infinity doesn't have an end or a beginning, but the reality is the permanent peace and stillness that remains throughout the story of searching and struggling. The answer isn't out there, it's right here. The message here is to recognise that limitation isn't an accurate way of describing or understanding the universe or yourself. There are no limits. The Truth can't be found because it is right here already. If we drop the limitations that the human mind imposes on the world, then the peaceful truth of being just as it is will be revealed. There isn't a this and that, a here and there, a beginning and an end, a cause and an effect. There is just What Is.
