Infinite

<p>.

The term “infinite” has an entirely different meaning, in its

true sense, although the philosophers and metaphysicians often

add to it the attributes of the Absolute, which is a mistake. The

word “infinite” in its true sense and essential meaning, implies

a state of boundlessness; limitlessness; not circumscribed; as to

time, space, variety, possibilities, combination, shape, form, etc.

Its essence may be understood by referring to the words from

which it sprung, i. e., the Latin words “in,” meaning “not”; and

“finitus” meaning “finished.” In short, the word “infinite” means

“not finished; not complete; capable of unlimited manifestation,

and possibilities.” So, you see, while the idea of “Absolute” means

fixed, complete independent state or condition; “Infinite” means

a state of endless and unlimited possibilities of manifestation

and expression.<br />
