       There's an even chance that EVERYTHING' resides in an
  imagination  ....an arena that shapes real, unreal, and all the
  betweens and "other thans" ....a mixpoint of substance and the
  knowing of substance. We do NOT know the implications of this
  "everything" containment, and any reach to say true of it is no
  more than speculation......
 
     That we can imagine something, is our primary grasp of what
  CAN be for us (beyond the slow accumulations of science). Even in
  science, much-all of what is discovered passes through our
  imaginations in the process of BECOMING an IS, within that same
  imagination. Some limited experience (empirics) does suggest (to me)
  that what can be imagined IS, CAN, and often DOES become into the
  shapes we can realize (perhaps even more beyond our natural or
  synthetic senses). "Infinite" is only a simple word if it is not
  thought about. Once "infinite" enters serious thought, it passes
  quickly beyond human rational (imagination); and becomes more a
  mind-reach target .....a hoped for plum to invite into imagination.
 
  Expanding in humor and though a steely eyed atheist, I must ever
  consider that awkward possibility that the human imagination is
  THE'  sub construct of our working dimension package (REALITY);
  _a_  home for BOTH God/s, gravity and otherishes.  Since time has
  no orientation or definition beyond the convenience of human clocks,
  sequencing pales among relative juxtapositions (likely meaningless).
  With all possibles on the table, there is no "infinite", just a
  transient term to fill in for our present ignorance of a structure.
  An increase in specifically designed (genetic) cortical mass might
  likely allow some extended understanding of such within our
  lifetimes (or at least that of our children). YET! even that
  advance would likely just make known other dimensional dilemmas
  .....another and another?
       The imagination is the only containment of reality we presently
  seem to know from "creator to creature" and how many tiny feet dance
  upon that head of pin.                     .............I think....!
