Since the infinite cannot know or experience the finite, what is the purpose of finite things in the first place?

Trying to write about duality creates many limitations and paradoxes. I might reframe your question as, “why are there modulations within the one?” I think it might be a bit like asking, “why is there something rather than nothing?”

Thank you for your input. No matter how one reframes the question, the question still has not been answered. At least not as I have seen.

Yes, and this is the meaning of "You cannot look upon the face of God and live".

Thank you for explaining what I have not had words for.

“What are they in reality? An apparent modulation of infinite aware being.” As with many of Rupert’s writings, I will be re-reading this article a few times. My hope will be to truly “grok it” at some point. WOW - one day later. Allowing. In my best “EST” voice from the past…”I get it”!

Light, as metaphor has many layers. Can it also be used to describe the nature of reality?

A good question. How an analogy is constructed, and its apparent subject, can be brilliantly illuminating to some…and completely lose others…not speak to them or illuminate. I try and try, but the analogy of the screen and the movie just loses me for some reason.
