Eternity
American Collegiate: The totality of time without beginning or end; infinite time.
I imagine to begin to define "eternity", one must first have an understanding of infinity. As each is as boundless as the other.
American Collegiate: Infinity: Unbounded Space, Time or Quantity.
To grasp the eternal, the infinite, one must let go of any need to place existence in a limited realm. We must release our hold on the idea that all things are tangible, have form, that there’s a start and finish, a beginning and an end. This precept requires that we shed old, ingrained ideas of how our expectations lodge the Universe into a set, mentally acceptable arena.
As we gaze at the night sky, contemplation of infinite potential, takes us beyond all that we see. Thought itself, meanders on past our own galaxy to the next, and continues forward on a journey where there is another and another and always will be, yet another. As a traveler takes one step and then another along a road, yet sees only where she is and the immediate space which surrounds her at that particular moment in time, she knows with absolute certainty that with the next step there will still be space surrounding her and that she will inevitably move into the next moment where the time exists to take that step.
As in psyberspace, the instant that a person is looking at or finding one bit of information, new information is being added that changes the quantity and shape of the knowledge available, and the next instant it changes again.
There is no beginning nor end.
With surrendering embrace of the eternal, comes the tranquil assurance, of the soul’s journey through infinite chapters of growth and experience.
