Where You Are In The Universe

The dictionary defines “infinite” as:

in·fi·nite [in-fuh-nit] adjective

1.  unlimited or unmeasurable in extent of space, duration of time,etc.: the infinite nature of outer space. 

2. unbounded or unlimited; boundless; endless.

Since it is our perception that the universe is infinite in its’ size, and that that is unknowable and yet possibly true, please consider what I am about to tell you as a perception as well, and also is unknowable and yet possibly true. Are you still with me? Here we go.

Imagine yourself standing on a mountaintop and you can see in all directions (except down through the earth, of course).  Turn your eyes in any direction and look toward the end of the universe. How far away is the end of the universe?  It is an infinite distance.  Look up, look down, no matter which way you look it is an infinite distance. As you look in all directions you can now envision that you are inside a sphere and perceiving the edges of it as though you are inside an infinitely large, perfectly round ball.  So, where are you exactly positioned inside this ball?  Since it is exactly the same distance, infinity, in any direction you look, that puts you precisely in the center. The center of the universe is right there behind your eyes. And what is behind your eyes? Your mind.

The same is true for all life here and throughout the universe. We are all one, and all are the center of the universe.
