the inifnity of the soul...is it as vast and endless as the infinity of the universe????

I think you should try posting in the philosophy section or spirituality next time.\n\nHow big is the soul.\n\nWell, hopefully bigger than the body and more durable. But it seems like the universe "the container" for all matter, and the soul, the container for everything spiritual would be of a different quality. \n\nI think the soul is bigger.  Imagine being condemned to live forever without a soul? It's hard enough trying to get through a Sunday afternoon.

Well, as far as we know, the universe is infinite. It seems a bit egotistical to assume that we are the only intelligent life in the entire universe.

No person is greater than God. Nor were you ever promised a rose garden while here on this plane of existance. We are all here to develop our soul so that when we pass from this plane of existance to the next, we will be more prepared. Is it all understandable? At some levels, yes. Is there evil in the world? Absolutely. Did God create everything? Yes. And is everything around us, good and bad, something everyone can comprehend as being part of our learning experience? Unfortunately not. \nBy the way, God does not condemn people. Sexuality, immorality, sin . . . all are forgiven when our physical body dies and our soul moves on. I didn't say it would all seem to make sense. We are loved. We are forgiven. We are given challenges to help us grow. And we are told through the Manifestations of God that we are never alone here.

Absolutelty awe inspiring.  To know that our souls are such precious things that even the "Gods" would fight for them.  That is why I love my soul, myself soooooo much, because both God AND satan want it.  Wow!!!!

Yes this is a hard topic to understand the only way I can explain it is to imagine that space "curves" onto itself. Thus is finite.\n\nThe reality is an actual infinity can not exist, its something conceptual, impossible lack understanding of what an actual infinity is, it can exist mathematically as an Ideal, but not in reality as that is physically impossible.\n\nLook at the attributes of infinity:\n\n(1) You can not add to infinity\n(2) Any part of infinity is the same as the entire "set"\n\nWhen we trace our Universe back to the big bang we end up with a singularity, this is where "Science and physics break down" it can not be really explained and we have to go to a higher source of knowledge i.e. theology.\n\nWhat I will end on is saying that one of the Attributes of the Creator is that he is infinite.\n\nI hope that helps\n\nAnhar Hussain Miah

The ideas of zero and infinity are really difficult, mainly because we have hardly, if ever, seen them in our lives. When have you really seen nothing? Never. When have you seen everything? Never. \n\nAnd a quantity of infinity does not mean it goes on forever, that is a mis-conception. Quantities dont go, rates do.\nInfinity is the opposite of nothing. Its everything. Not like everything in front of you, that is a limited number. But EVERYTHING. The maximum of existance.

The universe is incomprehensibly large and, please, don't try to argue it isn't - it is - no person who has ever lived could draw a comparison between the size of the universe and ANYTHING else - there is absolutely NOTHING to measure it against.  I've read articles saying scientists are able to see to the center of the universe now - I'm sorry but that is garbage - the universe is endless.  You can not see the center of something that is endless or, infinite in size.\nI'm not perfect, I admit there may be flaws in my logic so, please, help me learn if you think you have something to add.\nSince the universe is never ending, the odds are minuscule there are no other sentient beings anywhere.  I can't even begin to comprehend how minuscule - in fact, I doubt they can be calculated - if the universe is endless they can not be.\nThis leads me to believe there are aliens in the universe.  It's possible that aliens are here and have been here for a long, long time - but it's also possibly they've never been here.  \nWhat would an alien look like?  There is no way of knowing.

There definitely is something... what it is I am not exactly sure but, it is much more than anyone here can ever know. I have read a lot on this..and somethings have me think...maybe there is a better life after we die.... I am skeptical on quite a few things. I do however believe this physic Sylvia Browne.. You should watch and listen to things she says.. it is amazing.. She appears on Montel every Wednesday. Is there a "GOD"? That is not so believable from where I sit but, again, that is not been proven to me as of yet. LL.

You're assuming that the universe extends for infinite.\n\nOf course, if you're assuming that it has meaning, does that mean that it has intelligent design? And therefore, an intelligent designed?\n\nIn other words, no.

My opinion through many meditative thoughts:\n\nI believe our universe exists as a point in what you call 'the void'. A point having the geometric meaning of no volume, dimensionless.\n\nI believe what you are considering the void is what I call space. Our universe is what we can view, touch and explain through science we have developed. Space on the other hand is an infinitely dimensional medium, in which our universe was born. \n\nOur universe is nothing more than a 'disturbance' in space, and in space our universe exists as a point. This point is a fraction of infinity, yet everything is a fraction of infinity. So in the humble realization that we are nothing (a fraction of infinity), we realize we are equal to everything we can fathom, as it too is a fraction of infinity no matter how large.\n\nSo, through the realization that we are nothing comes the discovery that we can be equal to as much as we can fathom. \n\nI believe this means everything that makes up the universe and space has its own existence or presence known to space and must exist.  This existence holds true for our universe and what we would consider other universes. The disappearance, or non-existance of any defined object and its position in space no matter how small, down to a point, would truly have mind boggling consequences. \n\nIf time travel is possible than there must be alternate universes, as we know it.  It is a deadening thought to ponder.  Almost pointless until we figure out gravity, which I believe will open the door to all other understandings.

Wow, thats deep. I just hope that I can bask in the sunshine of your infinite wisdom for a moment. I don't even have an answer for your question. Just basking...\n\nOh, by the way, you're a fucking idiot.

Personally I don't reject the idea, but I don't exactly embrace it, either.  \n\nLet me pose this to you:  If there are an infinite number of universes, and let's say, just for now, that there is a Divine Creator, did this ONE being create the infinite universes you describe?  Or are there in infinite number of this Creator?\n\nNext thought:  If, for every action/thought/possibility there is a separate universe, on how many of them would you actually exist?  On how many universes did life on Earth actually form (assuming evolution)?  \n\nLastly:  Take the statement that there are an infinite number of possibilities and that what we perceive from instant to instant is merely what we have CHOSEN to perceive at that instant, is there a separate universe created for each of those possibilities which are not perceived, or, because they aren't perceived (therefore not "real") do they fail to "launch" a separate universe?\n\nIf you haven't noticed, I find the ideas of possiblity incredibly fascinating. \n\nI hope I didn't make your brain explode!

God is infinite in wisdom and power, unlimited in love and goodness. The other one you ask about is envious malicious and deceitful.

You know, I just listened to a recording by Kishori Amonkar, a Hindustani singer, and it was one of her really good ones that just takes the soul to another level.  For a moment, I honestly felt like I was experiencing the most amazing thing.  Let me try to explain it:  Basically, it was like I had here on this recording proof that "humans" exist!  Try to imagine what it would be like to have a recording of gods or angels singing, and it was proof that those entities really did exist.  Imagine how you'd feel.  That's how I felt when I heard this singing.  It was like I was being priveleged to listen to something absolutely amazing and unbelievable.  It was like, wow, they actually DO exist!  Here they are, human beings, singing to God.  They are really there.\n\nOk, this is almost impossible for me to explain, and I'm sure I didn't do a good job.  But my point is that we think there are apsaras or angels whose job it is to sing to God, and in reality, we know that humans exist who do this very thing.  So humans are astounding.  We should remember to appreciate this.  Humans are absolutely amazing when you think about it afresh.

True, endless love? Absolutely yes!\n\nThe poets sing and the philosophers dream, and we mortals aspire to that highest grace -- love.\n\nPure, absolute, unconditional, undying love ... \n\nI found my true love -- my soul-mate -- and I shall love her to the end of my days and unto any world to come, no matter what. We have thus far crossed many distances and hard paths while our love grows more all the time. I will walk through this world with her, and even if some cruel design of fate should take her from me, she will still forever be my only true love.

There is no scientific evidence that souls exist. The conservation of energy doesn't dictate what form the energy takes. The heat of decay of a body is sufficient to satisfy that law.
