Infinite Cannot Know Finite Directly

A man refers to Rupert’s statement that universal consciousness doesn’t know anything about us. He uses the analogy of King Lear and John Smith, asking why, although King Lear doesn’t exist, John Smith seems to be aware of what happens to King Lear. Rupert clarifies that the infinite cannot know the finite directly, as it can only perceive through the agency of the finite mind. He shares that, in the same way, when one falls asleep in Las Vegas and dreams about being on the streets of Paris, one doesn’t experience the streets of Paris directly. One creates the streets of Paris within one’s mind and perceives them from the perspective of the person one seems to be in the dream.
