INFINITE

“You are as God created you: infinite, formless and free.”

Om.
That is Infinite.
This – even this world of shape and shadow – is also Infinite.
From the Infinite, the infinite arises.
When the infinite is taken from the Infinite,
the Infinite remains.

Om. Peace. Peace. Peace.

What is Infinite?

Not a distance.
Not a number.
Not something so big it overwhelms you.

No.
The Infinite is simply what has no opposite,
no border, no beginning or end.

It just is.
Always. Unchanging. Quiet. Certain.
Like Love. Like God. Like You.

But then something curious happened…

“What if… I could experience something else?”

And with that one tiny wish,
the finite was born.

Welcome to the land of limits

Time. Form. Space. Identity.
Me and you. Mine and yours.
Coming and going. Living and dying.
Beginning and end.

In the dream, we traded the infinite for a taste of the opposite.
Just a nibble. A sliver of separation. A flirtation with form.

And we forgot the Infinite…
in favor of the exciting, terrifying, glittering world of boundaries.

But here’s the thing.
You can’t actually lose the Infinite.
You can only dream that you did.

Like hiding behind your hands and believing the world disappeared.

A Course in Miracles and the Infinite

A Course in Miracles doesn’t use the word “Infinite” as often as it uses words like “Heaven,” “Truth,” or “Love.”
But its message is crystal clear:

“You are not a body. You are free.
For you are still as God created you.”

– Lesson 199

And what God created is Infinite.
Formless. Eternal. Limitless.
Untouched by time or tragedy.
Unafraid. Unwounded. Unchanged.

So when the Course speaks of forgiveness,
it’s not asking you to excuse what happened in time –
but to remember what lies outside of time altogether.
Beyond the story. Beyond the body.
Back in the Infinite.

The Infinite hides in plain sight

Look at the sky.
Look at a newborn’s eyes.
Listen to silence.
Notice the space between two thoughts.

There it is.
That quiet hum…
That feeling of something more.
That peace that needs no explanation.
That’s it. That’s the Infinite.

It never left.
It can’t.
It’s what you’re made of.

⸻

When the finite dissolves…

So what happens when the dream ends?
When you stop clinging to your opinions, identities, goals and grievances?

Nothing.
And everything.

You return to what you’ve never left:

“From the Infinite, the infinite arises.
When the infinite is taken from the Infinite,
the Infinite remains.”

Just like you.
Even if your story ends, even if the world crumbles,
the Truth of you – the Infinite Light – remains.

Not because you earned it.
But because you are it.

A little prayer to remember the Infinite

Let’s end this article the way it began:
With reverence. With breath. With a smile.

Om.
That is Infinite.
This is Infinite.
From the Infinite, the infinite arises.
When the infinite is taken from the Infinite,
the Infinite remains.

I am not what I thought I was.
I am not this fear, this name, this role.

I am That.

Om. Peace. Peace. Peace.

With love and light,
G.
