Very powerful pointer

[Carl-Richard]

The distance between one moment to the next is infinite.

[Someone here]

I understood the meaning of the sentence. But this is a pointer to what exactly?

Fluidity of the présent moment is a miracle

[thierry]

The fluidity is only possible because of infinity, just the fluidity is a prove of the absolute infinity

I never really liked the word infinite because it implies quantity which inherently there is non.  

it also seems far to parroted here.

over further investigation even the idea that there is even infinite experience is another quantified numerical Idea. 
 

to be intellectually honest on this matter, I’d argue that there isn’t infinite anything but only what there actually is.  Maybe there’s only 3 trillion possible experience god can know itself as and only 3 trillion possible that will ever evolve into new ones in the future.  And there for infinite is not correct. Haha. 
 

but what ever this isn’t that important.

A singularity has no beginning or end.

It has always been and will always be.

It is gapless.

It is without distance.

It is timeless.

It is full and it is empty.

It is here, it is there, it is nowhere.

It has many names yet it is nameless.

What is a next moment? Is there such a distance?

No. There is no pointer either. And that's the point with the pointer. To ultimately show how the pointer isn't it. The pointer is inherently inconsistent, to show the inconsistency of putting infinity into language, and thus collapsing the mind.

The pointer invintes you to investigate what a moment is, it invites you to try to find the moment, where it begins and ends, and it (the mind) will realize it can't find it and that the distance between one moment and the next is indeed infinite because it doesn't exist. You can keep looking for infinity and not find it. And you can keep measuring each supposed moment infinitely more fine-toothedly and you'll see you can do that too for infinity.

There are no moments it is one.

A good koan at least starts at the place of the practitioner so their mind grasps, but then can’t put two inconsistencies together, thus hopefully hanging the mind long enough for something else to peak through. 
 

like show me the front of a tree.
 

Very simple. 
 

I’d argue this almost doesn’t sound inconsistent to someone deep in the field.  And to the average person I’m not sure it means much of anything.  But I’m open to being proven wrong and  I’m not even sure I’m totally right 😀  
 

but good effort, I’m sure it’s good for someone. Did it work for you?

But when duality cuts through it becomes a series of chapters. Like scenes in a play. It's just scenes

I prefer afinite instead of infinite.

What does afinite mean. Affinity?

He probably meant it as in non-finite. Ngl, this terms sparked interest here! Thanks @Joseph Maynor.

afinite means not finite.

That's the reason I shared it. Or else by which basis would I judge whether it is powerful or not?

A different flavor, perhaps more the one I intended:

The time between one moment and the next is infinite.

Mmmm I like that expression non -finite. Yummy, will have to serve that one up some time.

 "Moments" are like gifts from God. They allow one event to be distinguished from another. But this is where their usefulness ends.
