Here Are 11 Simple Ways the Infinite Surrounds Us Everywhere & Always

[Updated August 26, 2022] How to know the infinity of God / Source / All-That-Is in the time & space that surrounds.

WE, at least those of us on a spiritual path, often hear that “we are God” and that “everything is God”.

We can logically, perhaps, understand that universal oneness if we define ‘God’, ‘Source’, or ‘All That is’ as the original energy of creation and the essence of everything in the universe.

Even most religions see God as universal and eternal. If true, of course, then everything is an aspect of God. And, of course, “we” must also be an aspect of God because we cannot be outside of “everything”.

Furthermore, to contain everything in existence, including an ever-expanding and emerging universe, requires that “God is infinite”. At least that is how my logical mind sees it:

Intellectually understanding ‘universal oneness’ and ‘infinity’ is a challenge because those are not things that we consciously and knowingly interact with in our daily human lives.

However, we often define spiritual awakening as the direct awareness and experience of the ‘oneness’ and ‘infinity’ of Source/God, beyond our physical body, emotions, and mind (intellectual understanding).

The path to awakening to such a ‘God realization’ is varied and unique to each individual. For example, see:

WITH these thoughts in mind, here are 10 perspectives that can move us toward spiritual awakening through both an understanding and experience of our…

• Sense of Time
• Sense of Space
• Sense of Physical Reality
• Sense of Others and Self

Each perspective starts with the intellect and ends with a suggested contemplation to slide past the thinking mind and into infinite awareness.

OUR SENSE OF TIME

[1] The present moment in time is infinite.

We are able to sense time because it appears on the background of no time, or infinity.

Our past and our future meet in our present moment. If you try to find that present moment between the past and future, you find that no matter how deep you go with your mind and senses, the past and future will always be there. Transcending your thoughts and senses can bring you to that infinite moment point beyond the past and the future.

[2] The moment point of silence between each sound, word, and thought is infinite.

“Everything that’s created comes out of silence. Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence. Your words come out of this void. Your very essence emerged from emptiness. All creativity requires some stillness.” — Wayne Dyer

Sounds, words, and thoughts require silence between them for us to perceive them as separate things. The silence can be long, or it can be infinitely short — both work, and both transcend the sound, word, and thought. Listen and look for that silence that transcends sounds, thoughts, and words.

⬇ This article talks about the infinite potential inherent point at the end of each in-breath and out-breath:

OUR SENSE OF SPACE

[3] The point between objects is infinite.

Look at your body. Where is the point between your front and the back? Between your left and your right? Between your upper and lower body? As with time, you find that no matter how deep you go with your thinking mind and senses, the front/back, left/right and up/down will always be there. Transcending your thoughts and senses can bring you to that infinite point beyond front/back, left/right and up/down.

[4] The space between objects is infinite.

Similar to the silence between sounds, we perceive things (objects) only because they stand out against the background of infinite nothingness.

Look at the space between your body and objects around you. That space seems empty because your sense cannot perceive the atoms and sub-atomic particles that fill it. But that full space expands in all directions, from your body to the furthest reaches of the physical universe. And you hold all of it in your personal knowledge and awareness. It is all the same, singular, connected, universal space, embracing and transcending every object and form in your universe, and beyond.

[5] Objects that moves in opposite directions originate that movement from a point of silent infinity.

The fulcrum point (like the balance point of a teeter totter) and the pivot point (like an elbow joint) are where movement in two directions (typically up/down, forward/backward) meet. It contains the same infinity as the moment point of time between the past and the future. Watch the fulcrums and pivots in yourself (such as your elbows, knees, and fingers) and your world and realize that each of these comes from a point of infinity.

[6] We observe our body’s movement through space from the infinite.

Our bodies move through space, but our awareness of that movement is always from a singular point of infinite stillness. We get caught up in our physical body when we forget that awareness point. See if you can place your full awareness in the point of infinite stillness, then watch your body, your thoughts, and the world move around and through you.

OUR SENSE OF PHYSICAL REALITY

[7] Deep sleep is a return to the unmanifested infinite.

One thing all higher animals experience is the diurnal cycle of night and day, of wakefulness and sleep.

I heard one spiritual teacher say that we return to God/Source every night in our sleep to refresh our creative energies for the following day. We do this in deep sleep, which is why it is very rare that anyone remembers their deep sleep experience.

Remembering requires a dualistic view of reality. But Source/God/Infinity is completely beyond the duality of our physical experience. It is beyond the highest spiritual dimensions (or densities) that exist.

When we return from that, they say we pass through all the other dimensions of the universe, finally descending to our 3rd Dimension. But, we normally only remember experiences from the 4th Dimension, which we call dreams.

Honor and embrace your sleep experience, seeing it as an opportunity to not only experience 4D dreams but also every other dimension of existence, and Source itself.

[8] The opposite side of the coin of all physical forms is the eternal infinite.

This perspective is one of the hardest to understand fully. First, a short quote from Seth/Jane Roberts:

“… your bodies blink off and on like lights…” — Seth/Jane Roberts, The “Unknown” Reality, Volume 1, section 1, session 684 on February 20, 1974

A longer quote on the same topic is below. My understanding of this Seth teaching is that all physical materiality is nothing more than particles that are in constant vibration at different frequencies. That idea aligns with most versions of theoretical Quantum Physics.

In that vibration, there is an “on” and “off” state, which are opposite polarities on the frequency cycle. The “on” polarity as what we experience as manifested physical reality (our daily life).

The “off” polarity is the silence that permeates all existence. It is the unmanifested presence of God/Source from which all creation emanates.

“The fantastic energy of your psyche not only created your physical body, but maintains it. It [your physical body] is not one continuous thing, although to you it seems permanent enough while it lasts. It is nevertheless in a constant state of pulsation, and because of the nature of energy and its construction, the body is actually blinking off and on.” — Seth (Jane Roberts), Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul, chapter 7, session 530 on May 20, 1970

For more on energy, vibrations, and frequencies, see:

We can also see this in the analogy of two sides of the coin. Every possible finite object (including our thoughts) in physical reality are on one side of the coin. But Source/God/Infinity is also always present in those physical forms, hidden on their unseen side. Like the opposite side of the coin, it is essential to all things that exist.

Silence your mind and let go of all preconceived ideas of what is real and not; allow each forms to expose its hidden underside to your subtle senses.

[9] Everything we physically sense is infinite.

Peter Brown (see also the Related Resources section, below) asks, when you look at the world with our eyes, how many colors do you see? For those unable to see visually, you can think of this same question in terms of hearing (especially music), tasting, smelling, touching, and even thinking. But for this example, I will stick with our visual perception.

If we look at a common photograph, are there only a handful of colors? Even if the picture is black and white, are there only a few shades of gray? The more we look, the more we see. Colors and shades transition from one point to the next, often with no clear divisions between.

The closer we look, the more we see an infinity of colors and shades. This may break down at the pixel level for a photograph, and at the electron microscope level for physical reality. But at those levels, the infinite diversity begins to shift to the infinite oneness.

“A little piece of infinity has as much infinity in it as the totality.” — Peter Brown

As mentioned, the infinity of colors and shades in our visual perception applies to all of our physical experiences because our reality is infinite. Peter Brown suggests that in every moment, we are experiencing infinite information, more than is possibly imaginable by our finite ego-self mind.

Open your eyes (or ears). How many different bits of information are you perceiving in total? How many are you consciously recording with your focus? Can you set aside your assumptions of separation between objects, and only see the mass of colors (or sounds) as one thing.

OUR SENSE OF OTHERS & SELF

[10] Other people are infinitely complex and ultimately unknowable — and so are we.

Seeing and understanding the complexity of other people (and ourselves) is overwhelming for our brains and ego personalities.

To compensate, we simplify and stereotype everyone and everything (including ourselves) into neat little boxes that reflect what our social conditioning tells us is true and not true, and good and bad.

We learned this as small children as our egos learn the ways of physical reality. As we mature, however, we can awaken to the true nature of our ourselves and our reality.

The ability to observe without judgment is the highest form of intelligence. — J. Krishnamurti

If we can suspend our constant judgement of others, ourselves, and everything we see, then we can truly see God/Source/Infinity in everything.

[11] We are all one soul, manifesting uniquely to experience reality.

This is a more spiritual corollary with #8 above (the blinking on and off of reality). In #8, reality was one side of the coin and the infinite was the other side of the coin. Here we can think of our Outer Ego as one side of the coin, and our Universal Soul (or Inner Ego) as the other side of the coin that is us.

Each person has a distinct ego personality that is unlike any other in the universe. However, when we turn inward to answer the question “Who am I?”, we realize we are much more than that Outer Ego.

Our true and deepest self is our soul. And while we recognize an individual soul, the deeper we go, the more we realize we are even more than that. We are our Universal Soul that is the same for everyone and everything in existence.

When we come to this knowing, we see every other person and every other thing as a form that is present in our universal consciousness. They are the same as our own body, mind, and emotions. There is no difference between ourselves (our Outer Ego) and everyone and everything else in existence.

We are all held together in the infinite oneness (love) of the Universal Soul and God/Source, who we all are. We know this as Unity Consciousness or God Consciousness, depending on definitions. (See also the Lincoln Gergar video linked below.)

When we can see that unity and oneness in everyone and everything, then we will never not know and see God surrounding us inside and out.

GOD truly is universal and everywhere. Everything truly is infinite and beyond our imagination. And awakening to see these truths in everything that surrounds us is knowing who we truly are. — (author)
