No.
Infinity is without time/space, beginning or ending, or any kind of boundaries, delineations or dimensions—any variation within that Infinity would render it un-infinite or limited. This infinity, being at rest, equals infinite potential—nothing yet potentiated, energized or activated.
(1) Infinity, then, has one single characteristic: the willpower, intention or desire to act/create.
(2) This willpower or desire is the catalyst that causes Infinity to focus or concentrate into a particular kinetic focus or vortex of creativity/activity. This focalization is Love or the power of Thought—the Creative Principle, the Logos, the Word of God (a.k.a. the Breath or Voice of God—in other words: motion, vibration).
It may sound counter-intuitive, yet "Thought" literally equals "Love." In order to properly realize this, one must (a) move beyond the romantic, poetic or metaphorical conceptions associated with the term "love" and (b) disassociate the term "thought" from strictly rational, analytical processes of mentation.
A simple example of this would be the painter or the musician or anyone engaging in any creative activity (for all activity is inevitably creative in one way or another). This is why many artists liken their creative process as having fallen "in love" or being in state of "pure ecstasy." This state of creative entrancement is Love: the power of Thought—to ideate, visualize, imagine, and bring into manifestation.
(3) The first and most immediate or purest manifestation of Thought/Love, then, is: Light. Light is the only material in and of Creation. Light is the manifestation of Thought—or Love made visible.
This pure, clear, white Light is then distorted, diffracted and codified (by the creative power of the Thought/Love of Intelligent Infinity in Its free-will) into various geometrical/mathematical ratios and configurations in order to further create various hierarchically-structured, interactive, holographic illusions—a kaleidoscopic light-show, as I like to say. Broadly speaking, these are the 7 densities of awareness: the diffraction or differentiation of pure white light into the red-violet spectrum.
In other words, Intelligent Infinity (in Its active or kinetic phase—the Original Thought or Love) literally vibrated the Creation into manifestation.
To sum it up:
(1) the power, impulse or desire to act (Free-Will)
(2) the action itself (Love/Thought)
(3) the manifestation of said activity (Light)
