What is Living Infinitely Part 2/3

As I mentioned before, understanding that the soul continues on after death is only the beginning of understanding what it means to Live Infinitely. Living Infinitely is a philosophy of success that dives into the potential of who you can be. Truly Living Infinitely is about discovering your POTENTIAL and unlocking the source of power that leads all to greatness and fulfillment.

What makes a one man seemly succeed with great ease in everything they do, and another man struggles to accomplish the same results? Why do other individuals seemly encounter difficulties in every endeavor they set out on? The primary determiner of the degree of success one encounters in life is due to their method of thinking. Thinking is cause, what happens is the effect. Men and women are an exact product of their thoughts. Therefore, overcoming difficulties, succeeding in life, and accomplishing our goals and dreams will be a direct result of our thoughts, which control our actions bringing about our desired outcome (aka. law of attraction). All of this would be a very easy task if we lived in the universe by ourselves. Instead, we exist in a universe filled with other minds with their own will, seeking their own desires.

How does this discussion then relate to the afterlife and the principle of Living Infinitely? If we accept that we live in a Cosmos, an orderly universe, which our soul continues to after the death of the body, then we must accept some conclusions that we can draw from that. First, there is a greater purpose to our existence. Why would life exist at all within an orderly system if there were not a purpose encompassing it? Second, there are forces at play within our universe greater than our physical environment. The ability for us to live after death depends entirely on a power we do not fully understand. Third, this power we do not fully understand has unlimited creative powers and is omnipresent. If the universe exists as an orderly Cosmos, then there is a supreme Intelligence that has masterminded and created and is connected to everything that exists.

The individual is connected to the universal and Infinite Intelligence by the shear fact of existence. The Old Testament refers to man being in the likeness of God. The Buddhist is encouraged to reach a state of “Bohdi” or enlightenment in which he or she discovers the true nature of reality. The fact that our true nature has a direct connection to the Infinite Intelligence is the key to unlocking our potential. If we have the ability to tap into and communicate with the source of all power, the power from which we come from, then our potential is unlimited only subject to the creativity of our minds.

The last section of our introduction to Living Infinitely will be on the method and application to which we can unlock our potential. The framework has been laid out, and now the practical side of maximizing your life will be discussed in part 3.

What is Living Infinitely: Part 1 of 3

What is life about? On our fragile cosmic rock we hurdle through space at enormous rates of speed. Spinning in a giant pinwheel formation around a super massive black hole we travel across the vast reaches of space. The shear size of our universe is beyond our understanding as we look out from our humble perspective and see billions more of these gigantic galaxies. When we look out onto this dynamic universe it puts us in awe of the supernatural like beauty and structure of cosmos. We must thank our brilliant Greek ancestors for the word COSMOS that fittingly describes our universe. Cosmos implies order, orderly arrangement, and a harmonious system and is the adverse of chaos. Understanding the cosmos is about understanding a system that leads us to the Truth.

Is Living Infinitely, living forever? With possibly a few exceptions from religious sources mostly every single person that ever walked the earth has faced death in the physical form. It is one event in our lives that we can be sure will happen. Being that this website is entitled Living Infinitely, it is only appropriate that we address the issue of what happens after our physical life is over. There are two fundamental beliefs on the subject and essentially two main options:

1. There is an afterlife in some form
2. There is no afterlife. That’s it lights out

Evidence for the latter option is compelling. There is no hard scientific evidence to prove that life goes beyond our earthly existence. We have never run out of subjects or cases to scientifically observe as death comes to all. Yet the results are inconclusive.

The first option is even more compelling than the second. There are two main areas of evidence; one can be described as slightly scientific, as it is based upon human observation, the other purely based upon faith. Lets take a look at each.

The first area of research is controversial, as confidence men from all ages have used it to make a quick buck. However, areas of research such as electronic voice phenomenon, astral projection, and out of body experiences have made scientists scratch their heads. This research generally deals with the connection between our physical realm and a hidden spiritual realm. Spiritual experts in the field hold that our level of consciousness vibrates on a higher plane of existence as the human body goes from life to death. Despite progress made in these fields, controversy has shrouded the research in skepticism.

The second major area of research is not scientific at all, but rather based entirely upon FAITH. Usually backed by a religion, this area of evidence has been passed down throughout the centuries in a variety of forms and customs. Most religions hold that life continues after death in one form or another and allow one to tap into an Infinite power either God, Enlightenment, or if you wish simply Infinite Intelligence. The most compelling aspect of faith being answer to our life after death issue is that faith has been proven to contain the power to transform people’s lives on a physical basis as well as spiritual. It has been said when the human spirit loses all hope the result is instant death. Faith has influenced the actions of entire nations, wars, and cultures. Faith has played the largest role in shaping the world into its current state. Faith is not only a property held by the individual, but also the universal. The Catholic Encyclopedia states that faith is both subjective and objective. It is this property of Faith that makes it superlative. Ultimately, faith must be placed in something, whether it is yourself, others, God, or a combination.

Back to the question at hand, do we live forever? Upon looking at the options, between the two choices, I highly recommend the belief that life continues beyond our physical existence. I realize that my brief synopsis of the afterlife is extremely limited in scope and highly encourage everyone to research the subject in detail. However, based upon on two essential options, the belief that life goes on after death provides us with a foundation to establish our personal philosophy based upon COSMOS instead of chaos. It also allows us to have an element of Faith, which continually changes lives with more power than any other concept known to man. Finally, I choose to believe in life after death because it allows us to consciously live without fear with assurance that while on the surface our existence may seem limited, our reality is infinite.

While this may be a part of what Living Infinitely is, it is only the tip of the iceberg into a philosophy that is sure to change your life. Coming soon part 2/3 when we dive more into what it means to Live Infinitely.

How to Land the Perfect Job

The title of this article may seem a bit strange to many of you, as I recently posted an article entitled “10 Reasons You Should Not Get A Job.” However, while I am a huge supporter of entrepreneurial efforts, I realize there are a few objections. Not everyone has to be an entrepreneur nor should be. This does not mean that living an infinite and abundant life cannot happen. On the contrary many exciting careers await the savvy job seeker. After interviewing a friend of mine that does recruiting for a large corporation, I would like to share some insights on how to land the perfect job.

I will divide job seekers into two major categories. Those entrepreneurial minded individuals looking to gain some experience and those individuals looking for a career within a specified field. We shall address entrepreneurs first. These individuals are looking to eventually own their own companies and typically have aspirations to make heaps of money very quickly. These individuals are typically independent and do not necessarily enjoy being told what to do. The keys to successfully landing the perfect job are as follows:

Small companies are the key. A large company can be good to observe processes and advanced systems, but in general focus on smaller companies.

Focus on jobs that will give you experience not necessarily huge commissions.

Find a job in which you will relate to and get to know the owner very well. Spending “quality” time with the owner will eventually have you thinking the same as a successful business owner.

Find a job that will expand your connections. Opportunities often lie with whom you know not necessarily what you know (as the old cliché goes).


Next we shall address the career minded individuals. These individuals are looking for a career with a solid company. The corporation is a beautiful structure, which enables for high standards of living for entire societies – why not be a part of one? These individuals enjoy having guidance as to where their talents can be utilized. While they may not necessarily like being told what to do, they are invigorated by being around people all day and thrive off the sense of community many corporations offer. The keys to success:

Focus on benefits and perks. Go for the jobs that give you plenty of vacation days, sick days, holidays, and understand you are not a slave. Good corporations make life a lot easier.

Find a job with a good environment. You can sense a companies environment when you walking into the first interview. Notice the level of formalities, organization, and structure of the business. An unhealthy environment will make your life miserable for many years, so make sure you feel its right for you. Meet the people you will work with and be sure they share similar interests.

Work for a company with a good reputation. A company with a good reputation reflects that in the people that work for it. Happy corporation = happy team members.


My advice for both categories of job seekers is to never give up and settle with a life that is not entirely satisfactory. This is the mission of Living Infinitely. Don’t complain – change your situation, living your dream.
