Intelligent Infinity
The Tao te Ching[48] opens with these words:
The tao that can be told
is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named
is not the eternal Name.
The unnamable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin
of all particular things.
Of intelligent infinity, Ra, in parallel, says:
  • This concept [that the questioner uses to describe intelligent infinity] is incorrect—as is any concept of the one intelligent infinity.
The one undifferentiated intelligent infinity, un-polarized, full and whole, is the macrocosm of the mystery-clad being. We are messengers of the Law of One. Unity, at this approximation of understanding, cannot be specified by any physics—but only be activated or potentiated intelligent infinity due to the catalyst of free will. This may be difficult to accept. However, the understandings we have to share begin and end in mystery. – 28.1
  • The Law of One, though beyond the limitations of name, may be approximated by stating that all things are one, that there is no polarity, no right or wrong, no disharmony, but only identity. All is one, and that one is love/light, light/love, the Infinite Creator. – 4.20
Intelligent infinity in its first, purest, and original sense does not yield to words, physics, conceptualization, or any measure of understanding. It begins and ends in mystery. It is mystery. Or as Ra says, it is the “macrocosm of the mystery-clad being.”[49]
The highest of non-dual mystical teachings are pointing to (but not defining) infinity at this level, where subject and object collapse, where there is no two-ness, no manyness, no finity, no boundary, no other. In terrestrial traditions it is often pointed to in negative terms—such as “void” or “emptiness” or “nothingness”—because it is without identifiable form and seems to negate (but paradoxically include) everything that exists, everything that can be named and identified. It is beingness itself. It is all that there is.
It is where the part completely contains, and is one with, the whole.
  • It shall be understood that any portion—no matter how small, of any density or illusory pattern—contains, as in an holographic picture, the One Creator which is infinity. Thus all begins and ends in mystery. – 13.13
  • In the simplest iota of this complex exists in its entirety the One Infinite Creator. – 30.5
The Two Sides of Intelligent Infinity
But there is a point when, out of intelligent infinity, creation begins. Though still rather incomprehensible to the third-density mind, it is at that point that we can at least start talking about it.
That point happens when intelligent infinity takes on a second meaning: due to the First Distortion (Free Will), intelligent infinity becomes potential in relation to the kinetic of intelligent energy.
We are going to toggle between these two “sides” of intelligent infinity for a moment: the absolute and the relative; the One and the many; the side that is the ultimate mystery and the side that is potential in relationship to the kinetic of intelligent energy. Ra delineates the two sides in the following:
  • [1] There is no difference, potential or kinetic, in unity. The basic rhythms of intelligent infinity are totally without distortion of any kind. The rhythms are clothed in mystery, for they are being itself.
[2] From this undistorted unity, however, appears a potential in relation to intelligent energy.
In this way you may observe the term to be somewhat two-sided: one use of the term, that being as the undistorted unity, being without any kinetic or potential side. The other application of this term (which we use undifferentiatedly for lack of other term) in the sense of the vast potential tapped into by foci or focuses of [intelligent] energy. – 27.7
  • This Creator is to be understood, both in macrocosm and microcosm, to have, as we have said, two natures:
[1] The unpotentiated infinity which is intelligent; this is all that there is.
[2] Free will has potentiated, both the Creator of us all and ourselves as co-Creators with intelligent infinity which has will. – 51.10
  • We are messengers of the Law of One.
[1] Unity, at this approximation of understanding, cannot be specified by any physics
[2] but only be activated or potentiated intelligent infinity due to the catalyst of free will. – 28.1
  • [1] There is unity. This unity is all that there is.
[2] This unity has a potential and kinetic. The potential is intelligent infinity. Tapping this potential will yield work. This work has been called by us, intelligent energy. – 27.5
How, then, does unity or intelligent infinity move from the first to the second of its meanings? How does it gain this “potential”? Though still not comprehensible to the human mind, it becomes aware, and then focuses:
  • Questioner: Thank you. Can you tell me of the earliest, first known thing in the creation?
Ra: I am Ra. The first known thing in the creation is infinity. The infinity is creation. – 13.5
  • Questioner: From this infinity then must have come what we experience as creation. What was the next step or the next evolvement?
Ra: I am Ra. Infinity became aware. This was the next step. – 13.6
  • Questioner: After this, what happened?
Ra: Awareness led to the focus of infinity into infinite energy. You have called this by various [names], the most common to your ears being “Logos” or “Love.” The Creator is the focusing of infinity as an aware or conscious principle called by us as closely as we can create understanding/learning in your language, “intelligent infinity.” – 13.7
It is here that the very first distortion of infinity transpires. Don Elkins dubbed it “the First Distortion.” Ra called it the Law of Confusion or the Law of Free Will. The aware intelligent infinity (or unity or Creator) determines through Free Will that it can and will know itself. This Free Will then taps the now available potential of intelligent infinity, finds focus, and initiates the kinetic side of intelligent infinity, known as intelligent energy.
This intelligent energy is the energy of the Logos, or the Second Distortion, which manifests itself as the Third Distortion, or Light. And from these three distortions of intelligent infinity come the infinite universe as we now know it (or rather, the infinitesimal fragment of the universe as we now know it).[50]
We have yet one more very interesting example of the seeming dichotomy between the unity without potential or kinetic (the first use of the term “intelligent infinity”) and unity that develops a potential and kinetic (the second use of the term “intelligent infinity.”) Ra relates our own sun to those two terms:
  • [1] In relationship to intelligent infinity, the sun body is, equally with all parts of the infinite creation, part of that infinity.
[2] In relation to the potentiated intelligent infinity which makes use of intelligent energy, it is the offspring, shall we say, of the Logos for a much larger number of sub-Logoi. – 41.4
Our Relationship with Intelligent Infinity
In the first, non-dual sense of the meaning of intelligent infinity, there is no two-ness, that is, each seeming part of the creation is already whole, already complete, already perfect, one, unified, infinite—however distorted it may seem to our present experience. In this sense there is no relationship with intelligent infinity because it is all that there is, there is no way to make intelligent infinity an object or to get “outside” of infinity.
In the second sense of intelligent infinity—the alpha and omega of our journey, the boundless potential that free will taps to manifest intelligent energy—we, as entities, appear to exist in a self-contained, relatively closed system: the mind/body/spirit complex. As Ra described, this complex is “inserted into the energy web of the physical vehicle and the chosen planetary environment”.[51] From this standpoint, we have a relationship with intelligent infinity. We perceive it as an outside source of potential and power. And with sufficient work in self-realization (self-acceptance, balance, polarization, and the clearing and activating of our energy system), we may contact, tap, use, and manifest intelligent infinity through the gateway of our energy system. Eventually we will experience no inside or outside, no subject or object, when we merge with (the paradoxically already fully present) intelligent infinity, undoing all illusions, undoing even the notion that there ever was a separate, individual self.
From the perspective of the incarnate self, contact with intelligent infinity happens via a pathway or shuttle. As Ra says:
  • The healing ability, like all other, what this instrument would call, paranormal abilities, is effected by the opening of a pathway or shuttle[52] into intelligent infinity. – 6.1
Ra uses many verbs, nouns, and phrases of relationship between the self and intelligent infinity, or the creation and intelligent infinity. Following is a compilation of most of the words and concepts that precede the term “intelligent infinity”:
Streaming in of, entrance point of, sources of, power of, background of, experiences of, comprehension of, rhythms of intelligent infinity.
Absorbing the energy of, contact with, communicate with, one with, use, using, potentiated, penetrate, expressed from, love and light of intelligent infinity.
Gateway to, pathway to, pathway or shuttle into, door to, reaching intelligent infinity.
Distortion of, infinite possibilities of, individualized portions of intelligent infinity.
And a small compilation of those words and concepts that follow the term “intelligent infinity”:
Intelligent infinity is: present in, behind the illusion of limits.
Intelligent infinity: discerned a concept, invested itself in an exploration.
The Intelligent Infinity that Rests Within All Things
Though from the incarnate standpoint, intelligent infinity appears to be separate from us, in actuality, this is not so. It is closer than close. Intelligent infinity exists fully and completely within everything in the creation.
  • As countless as the grains of sand are the sources of intelligent infinity. – 12.26
  • Consider, if you will, the intelligent infinity present in the absorption of livingness and beingness… – 27.2
  • It shall be understood that any portion—no matter how small, of any density or illusory pattern—contains, as in an holographic picture, the One Creator which is infinity. Thus all begins and ends in mystery. – 13.13
  • In the simplest iota of this [mind/body] complex exists in its entirety the One Infinite Creator. – 30.5
  • In each infinitesimal part of your self resides the One in all of Its power. – 15.14
Ra indicates that grasping this truth opens the potential to un-distort that which has been distorted—otherwise known as the process of healing:
  • The self-healing distortion is effected through realization of the intelligent infinity resting within. – 12.31
  • Healing occurs when a mind/body/spirit complex realizes, deep within itself, the Law of One; that is, that there is no disharmony, no imperfection; that all is complete and whole and perfect. Thus, the intelligent infinity within this mind/body/spirit complex re-forms the illusion of body, mind, or spirit to a form congruent with the Law of One. – 4.20
The Experience of Intelligent Infinity
Ra indicates in the following quotes that there is an “unspeakable” quality of profundity and joy in the experience of intelligent infinity. True mystics likewise report that the experience is ineffable—there is not now nor will there ever be language to adequately contain or convey the experience of intelligent infinity. As Ra says when speaking about the Law of One, words can only approximate.
Ra’s attempts at describing the human experience of intelligent infinity include:
  • The “fully experienced presence of the One Infinite Creator.”
  • An experience of “unspeakable profundity” and “unspeakable joy.”
  • A “sense of the consecrate or hallowed nature of everyday…activities.”
  • An experience of “true life” or as we would call it “resurrection.”
  • And a means of “dissolving all illusions.”
In the following quotes, Ra elaborates more fully on this experience from several different angles:
  • The experience of each entity is unique in perception of intelligent infinity. Perceptions range from a limitless joy to a strong dedication to service to others while in the incarnated state.
The entity which reaches intelligent infinity most often will perceive this experience as one of unspeakable profundity. However, it is not usual for the entity to immediately desire the cessation of the incarnation. Rather the desire to communicate or use this experience to aid others is extremely strong. – 34.2
  • Moving trough this gateway, the penetration of violet-ray intelligent infinity…may be seen to be manifested by a sense of the consecrate or hallowed nature of everyday creations and activities. – 48.7
  • The experiences described and experienced [by the scribe] are those distillations which may be experienced after a concentration of effort upon the opening of the gateway, or indigo, mind complex so that experience of a sacramental, or violet, ray may occur.
These experiences are the beginnings of that which—as the body, the mind, and the spirit become integrated at the gateway, or indigo, level—may then yield not only the experience of joy but the comprehension of intelligent infinity which accompanies it. Thus the body complex orgasm and mind complex orgasm becoming integrated may then set forth the proper gateway for the spiritual complex integration and its use as a shuttle for the sacrament of the fully experienced presence of the One Infinite Creator. – 49.2
  • When the positive adept touches intelligent infinity from within, this is the most powerful of connections for it is the connection of the whole mind/body/spirit complex microcosm with the macrocosm. – 50.9
  • The initiation of [the] Queen’s Chamber has to do with the abandoning of self to such desire to know the Creator in full that the purified instreaming light is drawn in balanced fashion through all energy centers, meeting in indigo and opening the gate to intelligent infinity. Thus the entity experiences true life or, as your people call it, resurrection. – 57.24
  • The purpose of clearing each energy center is to allow that meeting place to occur at the indigo-ray vibration, thus making contact with intelligent infinity and dissolving all illusions. Service-to-others is automatic at the released energy generated by this state of consciousness. – 57.33
  • The activation, while in yellow ray, of violet-ray intelligent infinity is a passport to the next octave of experience. There are adepts who have penetrated many, many of the energy centers and several of the true colors. This must be done with utmost care while in the physical body for, as we noted when speaking of the dangers of linking red/orange/yellow circuitry with true-color blue circuitry, the potential for disarrangement of the mind/body/spirit complex is great. However, the entity who penetrates intelligent infinity is basically capable of walking the universe with unfettered tread. – 48.10
  • The contact with intelligent infinity is most likely to produce an unspeakable joy in the entity experiencing such contact. – 80.22
Seeking Intelligent Infinity
In seeking intelligent infinity, we are seeking who we really are: our eternal, infinite, formless self. Wherever we may be in our evolutionary progress, we are always and completely (albeit paradoxically) intelligent infinity, the One Infinite Creator. This is the deepest witnessing awareness within us at all times. And in the map of our energy system, penetration of violet ray is the penetration of intelligent infinity itself. As Ra says, “In the north pole the crown is already upon the head.” The seeker seeks the One. The seeker seeks intelligent infinity.
  • In the experiences of the mystical search for unity, these [concepts of space and time] need never be considered, for they are but part of an illusory system. The seeker seeks the One. This One is to be sought, as we have said, by the balanced and self-accepting self, aware both of its apparent distortions and its total perfection.[53] Resting in this balanced awareness, the entity then opens the self to the universe which it is. The light energy of all things may then be attracted by this intense seeking, and wherever the inner seeking meets the attracted cosmic prana, realization of the One takes place.
The purpose of clearing each energy center is to allow that meeting place to occur at the indigo-ray vibration, thus making contact with intelligent infinity and dissolving all illusions. Service-to-others is automatic at the released energy generated by this state of consciousness. – 57.33
  • There is but one service. The Law is One. The offering of self to Creator is the greatest service, the unity, the fountainhead. The entity who seeks the One Creator is with infinite intelligence. From this seeking, from this offering, a great multiplicity of opportunities will evolve depending upon the mind/body/spirit complexes’ distortions with regard to the various illusory aspects or energy centers of the various complexes of your illusion.
Thus, some become healers, some workers, some teachers, and so forth. – 15.7
  • We cannot offer shortcuts to enlightenment. Enlightenment is of the moment, is an opening to intelligent infinity. It can only be accomplished by the self, for the self. Another self cannot teach/learn enlightenment, but only teach/learn information, inspiration, or a sharing of love, of mystery, of the unknown that makes the other-self reach out and begin the seeking process that ends in a moment, but who can know when an entity will open the gate to the present? – 17.2
  • The vibratory distortion of sound, faith, is perhaps one of the stumbling blocks between those of what we may call the infinite path and those of the finite proving-understanding [path].
You are precisely correct in your understanding of the congruency of faith and intelligent infinity; however, one is a spiritual term, the other more acceptable perhaps to the conceptual framework distortions of those who seek with measure and pen. – 3.9
  • We may suggest that it is a grand choice that each may make to, by desire, collect the details of the day or, by desire, to seek the keys to unknowing. – 84.7
Author’s Note: Transcendent & Immanent
Seeing both the transcendent and immanent aspects of intelligent infinity has been a helpful conceptual tool in my own journey of understanding.
In its transcendence, intelligent infinity is wholly beyond everything—every quality, every form, every entity, every portion of time and space, every distortion. In this realization the Self becomes liberated from the limitations, boundaries, and suffering of the separate self. In this transcendence the self knows unbounded awareness: the sacred formlessness or emptiness behind all form. It is the fundamental mystery of awareness itself, aware infinity.
It is not that distortion, or the world of form, necessarily vanishes (though that may indeed be so); rather, it is that every quarter of existence becomes transparent, like a perfectly clear window pane, to the Creator-beyond, the Creator as Source. And there is no longer a separate self.
And in that transparency and realization of unity, intelligent infinity is experienced and understood to be completely immanent (inherent in everything). This is the discovery of the Creator not above or outside or at a distance from the mundane and mortal, but completely within each and every distortion—every illusory form of shape and shadow.[54] The true nature of everything is revealed as the Creator, as sacred, as infinite. To invoke eastern concepts, it is where emptiness and form, nirvana and samsara, Creator and created become one, or non-dual.
