You're always experiencing infinity.
When you experience aggravation, you are experiencing it less clearly. If you're mind was a pond, aggravation would be indicative there are many ripples on the surface of this pond. Infinity is like the sun, the pond is like the mind, and body is like the container for the pond, giving it a certain shape for a while.
The ripples are caused by thoughts not consonant with unity. In fact, any thoughts cause some amount of distortion, but the further the thoughts get away from unity, the stronger the waves. The wind which causes the ripples is like desire, because it turns the mind/pond this way and that way. Desire directs attention.
When you desire purely to reflect the inpouring creator, then the wind begins to smooth out the ripples that are there. Eventually, it becomes still, and the pond purely reflects the light pouring down from above.
