Few go joyously into the realm of abstract thought and, not surprisingly, most people consciously avoid it. The influence of a well-managed belief system is strong. And because it would be too confusing and disorienting for us to have to constantly change our view of things, we go to great lengths to maintain a cognitive status quo. What this all adds up to is something called prejudiced thinking. We are all guilty of it, some to more of an extant than others.
Prejudices thinking is like pouring cement into the brain.
Every response is affected by it and, in time, it becomes a convenient psychological crutch which we lean on constantly to help us feel comfortable with who we are and how we relate to the world about us. Certainly, the concept of Infinity is the largest psychic threat to our consciousness. In fact, most people are subconsciously terrified by the thought of Infinity. The denial of the abstract is especially evident in our quest for knowledge about God. God and Infinity are both abstract concepts and are thus interrelated.
