while enjoying your first post in this thread i got into thinking from physics perspective and came to dilemma - i can understand anything "infinite" in theory, but so far in real, practical world we haven't seen or experience anything infinite except maybe possibilities. the "universal consciousness" if such thing exists from physics perspective must be based on "something" - anything that it may be, i cannot see as infinite, any source of energy as we know so far is finite. any consciousness/light/energy cannot exist in nothingness. in my view, concept of universal global consciousness is more appealing than any concept of god/s, but there's definitely more to think about, in the end we always face and will face the great unknown.
dark matter, anti matter - so far are blurry things, i tend to think of it same as matter with a 'negative' charge to balance things out.

cool i like these convos.
i believe the "practical world" does not "exist". does a dream "exist" and would the people in your dream know "they" exist? and how do you know "they" do not "exist"?
"nothingness" is apart of that same infinity. "nothingness" is that infinity. you can either view it as nothing or everything.
the thoughts in your head, the things you see. do you see them and perceive them for what they "are"? or do you perceive them because you are told a certain "thought" that attaches to them makes you perceive them in a certain way?
what if from "birth" you were taught elephants were just a hologram inside your head. and no matter what factor with that elephant ie. it taking a shit, it running you over and injuring you, is all a hologram inside your head.
would you know any better? the thing is from birth we are taught to attach a certain thought to everything we perceive.
as a human we all have massive egos to think we "matter" or think we can be "enlightened" the mere fact of us trying to be enlightened and understand shows why we are not able to grasp the concept.
infinity exists as all "nothing" and all "something" it is infinity.
