FINITE & INFINITE IS DEFINED ONLY IN TORAH VERSE.
"I have not changed"

Infinite is that which is not subject to 'change'.
Finite is that which is subject to 'change'.
The definition is fully scientific with no alternatives or qualifications applying.

When I was giving birth to my first child, I entered into a spiritual space where a great pillar of light which had no beginning or end flowed. I entered into the pillar of light and met my son and knew him, his soul, his essence. Then the birth happened within minutes. I felt that if I were to enter that pillar of light at any other time I would have disintigrated into the light and become part of it. Only during the birth was this entering into the pillar possible. Please can you tell me what this was? What terms can I use to discribe it and come to understand it? Thank you
