' Equal expressions of the Infinite '...

All things - all beings and all activities, no matter how ordinary - are equal expressions of the Infinite.

There is no more or less Infinite, no higher or lower Infinite.

Therefore, all attempts to either find or hold onto the Infinite are based in illusion.

And illusion itself is none other than the Infinite.

The Infinite uses all measures in order to awaken in all the various forms in existence.

It uses birth, life, death, happiness, sorrow, clarity, and delusion in order to awaken.

All of your seeking is in reality the activity of the Infinite as well.

No matter how far astray or deluded you become, you can never get a single step away from the Infinite's embrace.

If you could all at once stop believing your dreaming mind and be completely still right in the midst of your present state, the Infinite would effortlessly present itself.
