My understanding of God

The point is the term "infinity". 

The term infinity means something that never ends, for example the odds numbers, but it is limited to the odds numbers. Infinity is a dimension and it's used in mathematics . God is prior that any dimension. God is not "a lot of things that never end", is what those things are, it's source, it's essence. God is not hidden in those things, is expressed by those things. Those things could be infinite, but God isn't , it's non dimensional, but it's expressions are infinite. Do you see the point? I think it's essential. 

Infinity is not about mathematics. Mathematics does not know what Infinity is.

I think we actually agree, we're just using "infinity" differently.

You're taking it in the mathematical sense: a quantity or a dimension that never ends, like the odd numbers. But as you said yourself, that kind of infinity is still limited to something. That's exactly why it's not what we mean when we say God is Infinity.

Here infinity just means no limit, no boundary, nothing outside of it. Something prior to any dimension, not contained in anything, the source and essence of everything, is exactly that. What you're describing as "non-dimensional" is what Leo and I are calling infinite.

So the disagreement is about the word, not about God.

Yes but the point is deeper, it's about "infinity" implies being, and being implies dimension. 

Look: Someone might say that the fact of being is absolute because non-being is not, therefore only being is; but of course, that is within the "being" dimension. The dimension, or non-dimension, of "non-being", which implies all possibilities, is not included in being; therefore, being is one face of reality, the affirmative face.

What Vedanta mystics called Sat-Chit-Ananda: what is, while being, perceives itself and, given its unrestricted totality, manifests as absolute bliss.

But that being is the affirmative face of reality, the luminous, illuminated face. Then there is the lightless face, unfathomable, dimension-less. It is within this face that total life resides. It is the great mystery: the nothingness that is not, yet lives, and whose life is total.

Infinity means that have not end, but always implies dimension.

Rather math is one aspect of infinity

I can tell who understands God just by how they use the word infinity.

We have taught that God is Infinity for years now.  So if they don't understand it by now.  But your episodes on Absolute Infinity.  Man. The castle of David in the sand.  That was some amazing stuff.  They just need to listen to that.

I can tell who understands God just by perceiving how pure is their heart . 

You can't understand God, you can be open to it.

Yes you can.

Kindness does not equate to understanding of God.

Yes you can.

You can understand the structure of reality, it's simple. Absence of limits implies possibilities happening, anything that appears is relative to another state, being means change and reality lives. 

But you can't understand what the source of life is, because it's not something, it's the absolute potential that is prior to any dimension. You can perceive it, it's in you, it's what we are, but you can't understand it because "understanding" is just a dimension that arises as an expression of the unfathomable. 

You could see that I'm one who wants to understand everything, but after some point the structures must fall. 

Anyway, always open to amplify my perspective

@Breakingthewall God can be understood much clearer than you currently understand it. So you got room to grow.

Your human self is a confusion overlaid on top of God.

If you strip your human ego self of all it's crap, God will remain.

The human self is crap encrusted on top of God.

Think of God as a battleship and your human self as barnacles encrusting its hull. Under all the barnacles is Pure Infinite Mind.

The Pure Mind underneath the human self is God.

Again a total misinderstanding or diversion from my question. Does God have knowledge of all things in the universe yes or no?

No because knowledge is a relative, constructed thing. Humans create knowledge. God's Intelligence is more fundamental than knowledge. Knowledge is dualistic.

It is like you are asking, Does God eat McDonalds? No, because that's a thing for humans. Knowledge = McDonalds

The answer was there in what he said. It is an Infinite Mind underneath the cloak that you are donning. Beneath the cloak IS the universe. You are it. Stop thinking other.  Or that there is something outside of this. Your field of perception is the universe in its entirety.  There can be nothing unconscious.  And that's what it would be if it was outside of this field of consciousness.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster looks less entangled than this 

If something is outside of IT, it’s not Infinity

P.S. When you eat at McDonalds, God eats at McDonalds.

There is no “my understanding” of God. 

There is a thought created story told about “my understanding” but the thought-created “story” doesn’t refer to anything at all.
 

There’s no requirement or necessity to theorise this immediate aliveness.If you stop thinking, aliveness is still there.
Being-ness is still there absolutely unchanged.

Interesting.

You are . Because Reality is the same as God . And you are saying that God is a fairy tail.  If it wasn’t for the usage of the word “ God “, you wouldn’t have any problem with what’s being said .
Notice that you just commented by saying that God is a fairly tail and a concept that harmed humanity , instead of addressing anything else which was said in OP . 

Notice the belief that "you are reality" doesn't change anything!

Reality just does it's thing!

You could also choose to believe you are a glow in the dark purple polka-dot puff the magic dragon bumper sticker on the back of 1984 Subaru hatchback in Ventura California in 1991........still doesn't matter in anyway whatsoever 😉 Nothing matters
