there's a thing about infinity, its so big and small, it is what it isn't and its every thing at all.
I'm crazy and its ok.

take the sum of all the integers to infinity (1+2+3+4+5+....) = ∞
then take the sum of all the numbers w/ one decimal place (1+1.1+1.2+1.3+...2+2.1+..) = ∞
then take the sum of all the numbers w/ ∞ decimal places (1+1.1+1.01+1.001+1.001+...) = ∞
but the last sequence must be a 'higher order' of infinity, since you are adding an infinite sequence between each integer, right?

My recent thoughts on infinity:
If there was an infinity of anything, like say an infinite amount of the book "Clan of the Cave Bear" then nothing else would exists except the book! because it is infinite.
however i thought to myself, The only infinite thing that could exist is an infinite amount of energy. energy can be shaped into anything! the world as we know it is simply (or complexly) shaped energy.
LOVE!

Thats where, in my eyes, spirituality comes into play.
Ive concluded (in simple thought, not mathematical equation (though thought is a form of strange math)) that a higher order of infinity is simply a higher understanding of the one infinity.
infinity is a spiral made of spirals made of spirals spiraling into itself etc...
a higher order of infinity is still the same infinity, just a different snapshot of it, since we cannot gaze at infinity in its entirety.
in mine eyes!

hey man, i'm doing fine - just working and thinking about getting lunch in a few here.
i def feel you on the spirituality/higher-ordered vision coming in to play here. certainly, by it's base concept, there should be one meta-infinity that encompasses all 'infinities' (linguistically, one might say 'one eternity that encompasses all infinities'). with string-theory/multi-verse-theory, this would be like the entire loaf of bread that each 'inifity' (universe/dimension) is a slice of. the slices extend out to the infinite reaches of our cognition, but assemble those infinite slices and you've got an infinitely large loaf (eternity, or 'brahman')
