The more I consider the above, I think this is very possible.
The only way a finite can be experienced is by way of the present moment, which is what I have been thinking about and writing about for the past few weeks. I think it's possible that awareness isn't some sort of mysterious action, but it is the natural result of infinity being influenced by its finities.
For the sake of simplicity, let's just say that within infinty there are only 3 finites. There is the potential that from A, either B or C is the result. However, B and C can't exist without A, so there is a connection that exists between them. This connection is manifested as awareness of potential and so it is inevitable that awareness will come into being.
I think it's possible, that for Ra to give a working concept, they had to state that everything comes from infinity and that the infinity is creation. I think they purposely leave some confusion there to be sought. Because if infinity forever remains unaware, there is no need for it to ever come into being. I would visualize it as awareness being moved to the surface of infinity, kind of like a charge that gathers on it, and from there infinity can be focused outward from it.
So we naturally want to separate the experiencing of the finites as being separate from infinity, and that awareness is some mysterious event that occurred for no reason. I don't think this is true. Nothing is separate. I think there is a cycle of completion wherein infinity, awareness, and the finites that make up infinity obviously depend on each other to allow everything to exist. However, for a frame of reference it is simply stated that everything comes from infinity, even though awareness and the potential of the finites are just as important.
In this way, I guess I would take back my earlier thought process and say that within infinity, potential awareness and nothingness does exist, but not in the sense that infinity is forever a void that is always separate which is what was being debated in the other thread. Infinity contains all. The infinity is the creation.
There has to be more than one of something so that each has a unique identity, and they have to be connected somehow because they are dependent on each other for variation to exist. Not only do we have more than one of something, there is an infinity of them. These apparent connections stimulate infinity to move into a state of awareness..they call awareness into being.
So the creation exists as a cycle of completion, and while it is correct to describe the manifestations in a linear fashion, it helps to view the importance of the finites influence on each other.
