Queen of the Infinite
An Immovable Object meets The Unstoppable Force
Philosophers time immemorial have distrusted the infinite as they made a huge error trying to tame her with the finite.
“This is a hard problem to see”, that’s what Vikid was contemplating at 3am in the morning. His cat, BlackBerry, had woken him up cause she wanted to go out on the prowl and had to be let out.
While she hunted mice, Vikid wondered about lies. Lies people told themselves, lies Vikid told himself and while that was going on, a beautiful Angel made a most glorious appearance. She sat on throne half python, half shard, dark as coal against her skin like alabaster porcelain. Her gaze so deep, so penetrating, Vikid just sat in awe, unable to speak.
“My Dear Vikid”, she emanated.
“I’ve noticed you been fighting powerful Demons but nothing comes close to me, Queen of the Infinite.”
“I’ve come to help you dispel with some confusion about my realm. It’s space and time without any end.”
“You may call me Lemniscata but I prefer Qi”
Vikid still awestruck, sat without any motion.
She continued,
“No need to be shy my dear. I know that you stared the Goddess of Logic, eye to eye. Her beauty may be unrivaled but mine is so vast it can’t be comprehended.”
“I’ve come here to teach you the ways of the Endless as The Hero of Truth has a bottomless pit of Enemies. I can’t leave you helpless.”
Though Vikid was timid in front of such grace, he mustered a question in haste,
“Glorious Qi, Lemniscate Unfathomable, Governess of all Realms and Infinite Time, What happens when an Unstoppable Force meets an Immovable Object?”
Qi looked upon him and said, “I see that you wish to get right to it but do not rush. The clue to the answer first lies in the Trinity. This concept has occurred in every civilization, in math we use trigonometry but that just puts me to sleep. So let me borrow some concepts from scripture. I mean no offense to believers.”
“None taken, we’re speaking in good faith”, Vikid said permissively.
She then continued,
“The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit”
“The Father represents everything there is. Infinite in expanse, all encompassing, the creator. Beyond concept of anything finite.”
“The Spirit, her winds so light they are imperceptible, smaller than wafer thin and giver of life. She is everywhere yet ungraspable.”
“Their Union is the Son. It is through him that everything perceptible can be seen. Our sun, each galaxy, light and everything corporeal.”
“So what we call Real, the Son, is the union of two types of Infinite, the large and the small, the Father and the Holy Spirit.”
“Each type of Infinite cannot be felt, touched or seen by any instrument. They cannot be conceived except through their Union.”
Vikid considered these wise words and said,
“So what your trying to say is, when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object… hmmm… I’m confused!”
She smiled with a twinkle in her eye, a light of immeasurable subtlety with colors he’d never seen.
She said,
“What is immovable? Only something that is everywhere and thus can’t be moved anywhere. Call it Space. And what is unstoppable? The force of existence, it just is, in every moment. Also known as The Field. It permeates Space and is everywhere. When they meet, we get the light of awareness and everything real.”
Vikid smiled back and said,
“Reality is the confluence of infinities. However infinities don’t exist in reality.
In reality we don’t have infinities but existence itself is based the dual nature of infinity.
This is Transcendence. The true meaning of Truth. The woven nature of Reality. ”
To which the Queen said,
“What I am cannot be conceived, I am conception, The Eye that Sees, in my dual nature and union, I create reality.”
“Do not fear. When you are lost or deep inside a fight with a demon, know that I am near.”
And just like that Vikid reappeared or she disappeared. He was a little bit lost.
Blackberry meowed from outside.
“I should letter her in”, he thought.
By then Vikid had already forgotten the intervention, he had returned to reality where there was no Qi, by definition.
He went to make some coffee.
And that was,
