 Is there any way out of infinity?

Can there ever be anything other than yin and yang? Oops, I created another yang...
I guess what i'm asking is, do you think there are more ISnessess than the ISness of Infinity which we are aware of?
Is infinity the one and true creation?

well I don't think so. Our bodies are on the yin yang system, the political system almost seems like it is, nature is based on it, science is definately all about it.
Idk, man I don't even know about the idea of creation, in a broad sense, so that would be very difficult to figure out.
I see everything around here and I can understand somewhat of how things came to be. I look into space and my mind is blank. I have some theories but they're just ideas that I can't even begin to prove in my lifetime alone.

If there is a 'way out' then it wouldn't infinite, right? But the logical debate can never be concluded through logic, and so it's pointless to waste energy on it ultimately. The answer is Who Knows?

Exactly. If there was something other than infinity, then it wouldn't be infinity. In fact, even calling it infinity is misleading, as it implies the possibility of having something other than infinity.

Infinity is so terrifying and humbling... that is a lie of course, these are the words I use to express my human reaction to the awareness of infinity. But... I mean... come ON!!! It's such a ...

Infinity, as a characteristic of Ultimate Reality is not created, it is uncreated - no beginning or end, no birth or death. Not the mathematical abstraction, but the Living Eternal Life is what I am referring to.

I think it's better off that we don't grasp infinity in it's infiniteness. Seems like it would be a burden to be that aware.

Yin is yin compared to yang and yang is yang compared to yin.
If the notion of yin were to disappear, so will the motion of yang
We create certain "labels", patterns so we can make things be discernible to our own rational, calculating minds. Nothing wrong with that as long as we keep in mind to what propose labeling serves for and as long as we're able to know to make the distinction between recognition and prejudice.
Infinity is infinite by definition, no need to reinvent the wheel.

That would be one endless plot 
But yes, it can still be fun.
