I offer a simpler explanation of infinity. To be simple is not to be simplistic, however.
There are, first off, a lot of temporal words being used in the cosmological discussion occurring, with much metaphysical speculation. Without the need to delve into speculation, we can simply look at the idea of infinity.
If the creator is infinity- then we have already made a very loaded statement.
A creator is an entity- it has the ability to create, and has a consciousness. We can speculate further, but there is no need to.
If such a creator is infinite it follows that it not only exists, but also does not. It is infinitely realized and unrealized. There must be a universe and also not. If the creator is infinite, it exists within and outside of time. There is no true temporal sequence in which the creation was 'created' but as an attempt to understand such great mystery, we ascribe temporal features to anthropomorphize the great mystery of creation.
This paradox of the creator is origin of all mystery, but in which we can understand that our seeking the creator is futile, but we do it anyways- this gives rise to meaning-making. (Is this true?...)
Indeed the greatest meaning in life is derived from the cosmological mystery. Although, if it creation is truly infinite, then there is a possibility of 'understanding' such infinity. What resides in us that is infinite? What allows us to commune with the infinite?
Our consciousness in meditation upon the infinite.
We know this to be the recommendation of many channels, and although we may 'speculate' upon the many infinite ways in which the cosmology works (as it truly is infinite), we may never understand such infinity in a rational way. We may commune our consciousness with the infinite, and in that communion of two infinite aspects of self-other/self we may come to know the creator in the only way possible. All other thoughts, speculations, movements, actions, desires and beliefs are catalyst to learn more about ourselves (this in it self is also part of the infinite getting to know itself, paradoxically, even though it already knows 'itself', existing within and outside of time.)
It is quite clear that speaking on the matter in terms of temporal/spatial terms and anthropomorphizing all speculation is futile because of the paradoxical mystery. The conduit of communion to the creator is meditation/prayer.
