The limited and the unlimited

Question

What am I supposed to understand about the limited and the unlimited? I am in the ONE, and the ONE is in me. That's right, isn't it? What else is there to know?
What I see clearly is that I know the limited—no doubt about that; I am a pro. As for the unlimited, I would really like to see what it is like. To me, unlimited really means without limits. So, to quote Jesus (Matthew 21:21): "...even if you say to this mountain, 'Move from here and throw yourself into the sea,' it will happen. Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive."
For me, nothing happens (or for others either, since apparently we are all in the same situation). Ultimately, is the problem that we lack faith? The only thing I know today about the unlimited is what Einstein said: "Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity... but I am not absolutely certain about the universe."
All this has been doing my head in for ages. I am really fed up. When you finally get an answer to a question, it immediately leads to another question, endlessly, just like taxes in France... It is never enough and never over!
What I would give never to have existed... My only motivation to search, and above all to find, is someday to stop this infernal cycle of conditioning. My recipe so far is simple—not much fun, true, but very likely effective. It consists of having no desire and, above all, staying focused from moment to moment to make sure I am not dragged into another ordeal after death, which can happen at any moment. Like everything, it is a matter of habit and training.

Answer from Master Kosen

Here is an answer from the physicist Nassim Haramein, who will answer you better than I can:

"NH: First, I realized that our understanding in physics has no basis for explaining reality. If you ask where the world comes from, a priest will answer, 'God made it,' and a physicist, 'It comes from the Big Bang.' We have roughly the same level of information. It tells us nothing. And if we ask fundamental questions like where mass comes from, or where energy comes from, we have no answer. But if we understand where electricity comes from, perhaps we can create electricity without destroying our environment! If we understand where mass comes from, perhaps we can create gravitational fields, because mass creates gravity. And if we control gravitational fields, we can travel through our universe in a slightly more sophisticated way. We take a very masculine approach to physics. For space travel, we build phallic cylinders with a small cabin at the top and lots of explosives. Then there is a very big explosion to go not very far! (Laughter.) Another strange thing is this need to find 'the' fundamental particle. They invested 13 trillion dollars in the accelerator in Geneva for that. We want a finite universe. We want to find the smallest element and the largest element, with nothing beyond them. But we can see very simply in geometry that we can keep dividing a space infinitely."
