I (maybe) understand your point, and envy your ability to accept infinity in that way.
I will have an ongoing struggle in my mind, until i grow old enough to accept and embrace, what I do not fully understand. But the philosophy of relating infiniti to they way of living your life, is really good, and would probaly (if ever achieved) boost the quality of ones life!

My only point of reference is Infinity. Infinity and my relationship to it immerses everything I am and do in everyday life. This is not some attitude I learned in books or from teachers but one I have cultivated for myself.
Infinity is a vast and endless expanse where up-down, left-right, small-big, me-other, important-unimportant, past-future are hilariously artificial and relative concepts.
When something appears to be a "problem" in my day to day life, I contrast it with Infinity. Put into that perspective my "personal issues" are nothing but a tiny dot of insignificance and I move on with great relief.
Infinity is an outrageous abundance, prosperity and beauty beside which all earthly importances, gains and pains pale.
Infinity is all that was, is and ever will be. It is both everything and nothing. Everything within Infinity always changes. Infinity is the only thing that never changes, it just IS.
Infinity cannot be depicted as linear. A better depiction is a circle...or the Infinity-Symbol shown above...or many expanding concentric circles.
Infinity is not just some mathematical or spiritual concept to me, it is my guide in daily life. It teaches me to be humble. It teaches me that contained within it, is a creative force that has produced and taken care of more than we can imagine. It teaches me that within the vast expanse everything is possible. It teaches me that in order to expand I am to stop focusing on that tiny dot within the circle and become aware of more. It teaches me that anything I can imagine has some form of existence somewhere within Infinity.
It teaches me that every grain of sand contains Infinity and that, for another perspective, an entire Universe has the size of a grain of sand. It teaches me that when I have a problem with one little thing, in that moment in time, I have a problem with everything and if I have love for one little thing, in that moment in time, I have love for everything.
It teaches me that there are Trillions of things I could be doing today, trillions of paths I could be taking today, trillions of things I could be seeing, thinking, hearing. I am an aspect of Infinity. A viewpoint of Infinity. In this way I am connected to all-that-is. And from all-that-is I will choose wisely what to dedicate myself to.
What is your relationship to Infinity?

An awareness that views Infinity would be something outside or apart from Infinity, right? Maybe its more precise to say that Awareness is the part or aspect of Infinity that has the ability to view itself...

I call IT the mind or brain which records and evaluates and assigns meaning, including ego based structures of meaning. IT must be harnessed to Spirit (universal God consciousness) or it is one's own worst enemy, since being nothing but a recorder, does not allow the being to leave their past, and tends to project into the future based on negations or negative judgements of the self. IT is in my view the keeper of one's own subjective prison. IT should be ignored and encouraged to die, so that the whole person can be re-born relative to the spirit who can be trusted knowing all that is (infinite intelligence). IT would like to think that it knows about infinity, but it doesn't know anything about that at all. IT is an imposter which, to prevent it's demise, would pretend to have access to infinite intelligence and mediate it. IT likes to brag, and control and own, but it's just an it, a thing, no matter how complex, it's still just a thing and does not serve the best interest of the whole being. IT however can be redeemed by allowing it-self to dissolve in spirit, and then it turns to love and becomes a supportive friend.

IT for me is just the very reason for me to be here but its not a bloke in a toga
IT is a function not a person "a tree is not a person" but is still here like you and me
correct? this is were ego comes into play, do not think you are different to that fly you just squished or spider you just squished
all life is needed ! you squish bugs and kill for reasons you will never understand
little game for you ...
The next time you think about squishing a bug think about why it was you wanted to and look at the bug as you
now you know why people die
was not your choice never has been never will be
