Infinity Phobia AKA
Violet Expanse
AKA Apeirophobia
Extreme and pervasive fear of the eternal and everlasting. Can be triggered by
interaction with things appearing to be infinite (i.e.
the internet, emptiness as described in
the dharma, death, the timeless abyss between
portals, the violet virtual expanse of cyberspace, the 1982 film
Tron
)
and is often characterized by dry mouth, sweaty palms, smacking of the lips,
sticking out of the tongue, detachment from reality, and the constant
debilitating anticipation of oncoming
waves of nothingness. Neuropsychologists speculate that apeirophobia relates to the
inherent artificiality of the time/space continuum and our instinctual knowledge that base reality is in fact a non-temporal, non-spatial causal flowstate represented in
Buddhist
doctrine as The Emptiness and in modern science as
The Quantum Worldview. Infinity can then be seen as a source of Absolute Truth and,
thus, a limitless power source
