				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The dictionary defines &#8220;infinite&#8221; as:</span></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">in·fi·nite [in-fuh-nit] <span style="color: #333333;">adjective</span></span></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">1.  unlimited or unmeasurable in extent of space, duration of time,etc.: the infinite nature of outer space. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">2. unbounded or unlimited; boundless; endless.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Since it is our </span></span></span><em><span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">perception</span></span></span></em><span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> that the universe is infinite in its&#8217; 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.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">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 </span></span></span><em><span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">infinite</span></span></span></em><span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> distance.  Look up, look down, no matter which way you look it is an </span></span></span><em><span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">infinite</span></span></span></em><span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> 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, </span></span></span><em><span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">infinity</span></span></span></em><span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">, 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.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The same is true for all life here and throughout the universe. We are all one, and all are the center of the universe.</span></span></p>
