Paul Newman, after a long struggle with cancer, has made his peace with the world.
Mister Newman, you make me hope there's an afterlife so that you can be rewarded there.

In this case, then, the mouse (the awareness, perhaps a soul) is aware of the potential existence of a hand, even if it can't imagine how many fingers it has or what purpose it serves. And then we enter into a recursive loop, since the body is analogous to the mouse pointer. Thus, not only is the awareness infinite but everything is infinite.
There's a hole there somewhere, but I have to get ready for the game.

Well, yeah, the infinate is infinate...

But the infinite is also the singularity.

And then there's the null point. How long does the time without time last? No way to tell. And then it all come out from the other side. From the none, one. From the one, everything.

And thus everything is nothing, and nothing is everything; Zen is achieved and the student is enlightened. This is the Wei Wu Wei.

Eh... I would say that everything is everything, nothing is nothing, and they're both different sides of the mobius strip.

It's close to zen, but zen gets too nilhist for me. I'm not *that* much of a German...
