So it wasnt on the head of a pin where the angels were danceing, but
inside a pea ;-)
The mind cannot possibly comprehend eternity, because it is actually
'made' of matter, energy space and time, which is why 'it' is always
looking for terms such a 'gigantic'. Thirteen billion light years
around us. I want to know whats going on at thirteen billion and
one ....or is that my 'insatiable' mind :-)
"Transcend the mind and see infinity", takes on much greater meaning
in the scientific age.

And also why the 'seed' was planted in the statement "god made man in
his own image". You are actually creating yourself in 'images'. A
process of elimination. "I am not that" on the way
to "that I am".
