I do wonder about my ego though.... I spent alot time on it... does it really have to dissappear when I jump back into the infinite? sigh....

But how do you know/choose when to "zoom in" or "zoom out"? I do not want to redicule, just if something heavy would fall on my foot, with all the tiny dot approach, i still would focus on pain and not on infinity. This is a simplistic example, but in general
how can you know when it is wrong to concentrate on yourself vs infinity and when it is right?
Also, why infinity and not God?

I see part of the infinite as the white light. In my mind it is where we were before we were born, where we return to when we die, and where we shall spring forth from again. An every changing movement of experience and understanding in ways that I can barely fathom with this small mind and fragile body.
Sometimes I see the light eminate from a persons eyes. When in deep conversation and the both of us are paying deep deep attention I have found the the light will jump out and sallow me whole.
And then their was this one time in my living room with the front door open sitting on the couch with my mom. In the middle of a light storm light washed in from outside in and enveloped us both for an indetermiate amount of time.. when it ended I asked my mother if she has seen that and she said yeah ... and then some minutes later was the LOUDEST thunder crash I have ever heard... IT WAS AWESOME..
I am not sure where this life is taking me. I have an Idea of why I am.
I like the life ...when its gone....I will no longer be this man but one with the infinite again.
