"Increasing sensitivity" vs "understanding"

Got a question regarding these pointers. If you're infinite there's no end to the capacity of "sensitivity" or "noticing" ...infinite mystery

All you do is understand/notice such. Ungraspable infinity. This understanding is instant. "Sensitivity" is infinite.

"Increasing sensitivity" was 'coined' by Being_Is_IT in relation to this topic btw. Their reads are invaluable.

There's no end to the "beauty," enjoy it (😭)

And most importantly, saying any of this is pointless

“Every thing that purports to be the truth is, according to Heidegger, inevitably an approximation and true things, things that really are, rather than as we may apprehend them, are in themselves ineffable, ungraspable.” ― Iain McGilchrist, The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World

Infra refers to Infrathin, a concept coined by Marcel Duchamp.  When asked for a conceptual definition of the term "infrathin,"   Duchamp  replied that the notion is impossible to define, "one can only give  examples of it:"  I think of it as intangible, yet undeniably   present,  beyond our full comprehension. Both eternal and ephemeral.   Undefinable,  ungraspable. Present. InfraThin.

Identity cannot, then, reside in the name you can say or the body you can see—your own or your mother’s. Identity emerges in the failure of the body to express being fully and the failure of the signifier to convey meaning exactly. Identity is perceptible only through a relation to an other—which is to say, it is a form of both resisting and claiming the other, declaring the boundary where the self diverges from and merges with the other. In that declaration of identity and identification, there is always loss, the loss of not-being the other and yet remaining dependent on that other for self-seeing, self-being.

Peggy Phelan, in Broken Symmetries: Memory, Sight, Love.
