Since you enjoyed the tricks with infinity, let’s have some more fun with segments and rays. We are now going to lengthen and shorten a segment while keeping one end fixed (one point), and moving the other end away from or towards it along the straight line on which the segment lies. In segment LO, we fix point O and move L (when points L and O (ends of the segment LO) coincide, the length of the segment equals zero, that is, the segment ceases to exist, it has “died”, “gone into non-existence”; similarly, from the point (from non-existence) a segment LO appears (when the distance between the points is not zero, when they do not coincide) and “grows” to infinity, even to the measure of a ray, when L is pulled away from O to infinity):
(Before the world (creation) by Father-Love, there was nothing (created) (in our parable, the image of this absolute non-existence is a blank sheet of paper. When the world was created (when God said: “Let there be”), a point (“formless and void”) appeared on the sheet (“the big bang”, “the point burst”) and from this point, everything began to form – which is called to Personal, Hypostatic Eternity, Deification (we will apply this image further to every person, who at a certain moment begins to exist: a point appears, which is called to become a ray (more precisely, a line: eternal, infinite, and beginningless by Grace)! LО – “Human”, “Love”, “Human-Love”; reduction of love – dying, when love = 0 – death; Eternal life – when L = ∞, when love is infinite, Divine, a person becomes Divine Love). So, at the birth of a person, points L and O coincide. Point O (“circle” – a symbol of eternity, without beginning and without end) is fixed in Eternity (Man is created in Love (Eternity), by Love and for Love), and point L is movable (free (conscious, reasonable, responsible) will, on which depends the Happiness of each person). And from the direction of L’s movement, it depends – whether a person reaches the Goal (the Kingdom of God), or sins (misses, fails to hit Happiness) and ends up in hell, self-egoism: that is, whether the segment (ray) LO becomes a line, or contracts into a closed hellish egoistic self-centered point of “non-existence” (a point of absolute lack of communication with Others). There are only two directions of movement: from oneself (from O) and to oneself (into point O, into death, into non-existence); from oneself (to Paradise) – “deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Me, to Me, your God”, to oneself (into hell) – refuse communication (hypostatic being), focus on oneself and lock oneself in oneself…
So, movement towards oneself (egoism moving towards selfhood), towards point O – movement into hell (eternal torment) – is an attempt “not to be” (not to love, to be in non-love), an attempt to escape from reality (to be irresponsible). Which direction do you choose (have chosen)? To Paradise or to hell? Know: it’s either – or, no third option is given! If you see that you are moving not in Happiness (towards Happiness), but in hell (into hell), then repent: turn around and go home, Father-Love is already waiting for you, His beloved child, to bestow all Blessings and Beatitudes upon you!!!
Let a sheet of paper (or the line on which LO lies) be reality, then the movement of L towards O is an escape from reality into non-existence (which, fortunately, no one will ever achieve (point O is in infinity, Eternity!), and at some point along the way, whether light-years away, one will come to their senses and return home (to the Kingdom of God), to the Father from the country of swine’s egoistic self-centered pods. Glory to God!); visually, the perdition looks like this (L → O, trying to compress the ray into a point, moving the (finite) L to (the fixed, unmovable, unattainable) O (∞)!):
(Somewhere there, very, very far (so far that it’s not visible anymore), a poor child of God is suffering in hell, trying to “exit the game” – go into non-existence (trying not to be, that is, not to love)! But, fortunately, this will never succeed – there is only one way out (whether you like it or not) – TO BE (Happy or unhappy – “not to be” no one can ever achieve) and to be Happy in God and with God (Wise Father-Love has taken care of everything in advance, so that when the child gets tired of tormenting themselves, of dying, of rushing into non-existence, – they will return home, into the Loving embrace of Father-Love)!)
The process of salvation (deification) can be visually represented like this (we pull L away from O to infinity, that is, we stretch the ray into a line):
(Somewhere there, very, very far away, in Eternity (in the Holy Spirit) a child of God, in the embrace of Father-Love (in the Kingdom of God, in the House of the Father-Love), tries to become like God, to become a Catholic Hypostasis, Personally-Lovefully hypostasize all reality (= become under all creation) – created and uncreated, to become a god by Grace!)
Since people are “rays” (they have a beginning but have no end – hypostases (the image of God) are created to always be, but in what state: this is their free choice, which can be changed (chosen) endlessly – repentance has no limits, as does forgiveness…), then in whichever direction they move (to Paradise or to hell-selfhood) – the movement (to the Goal) will be infinite! But no matter how far from Home (Father-Father-Love) you have gone, moving into hell-selfhood, you can always, coming to your senses, repent (turn around and start following the Lord Jesus Christ, carrying your cross) and return, like the prodigal son, into the embrace of Father-Love (see Luke 15: 11-32)!!!
