Once you've glanced into the infinite self. You'll begin to recognize it all over the kaleidoscope. All the images will become repetitions of the One. Untill you only see nothing but that singularity and merge with it. This is growth of consciousness.
As your consciousness grows, your outside world must by necesity become smaller. When you become all that is, your outside world must cease to be.
this is not my experience Ali, but it might be yours so I cannot say what you experience.
My understanding is that as consciousness expands so also does the Mystery, simply because that is the design. Otherwise would not the creation have already reached its finite point? And if that is so then what we have is not infinity.
In my experience the universe and the Creator is infinite, and the Mystery continues into Infinity which is why it remains a Mystery. What is "out there" will be based upon what is to be further created. Coming to know the One is not ending existence or Being, it is understanding how we are a part of the continuing process.
