Finite and Infinite issue
Hello, dear friends.
I want to understand something:
I'm writing something about the potential of the mind.
I want to say that your mind puts a limit on the limitless creativity you can have - something along these lines.
"(...) so it limits the limitless, finites the finiteless (...)"
Obviously the world "finites" doesn't exist.
The meaning I want to have is: what is finite limits what is infinite.
But I don't want to repeat the word "limit"... so I'm not sure which one I can choose.
Thanks

Hi I have to say that finiteless is a rather rare word too - it's at least old-fashioned. You can say that the mind draws boundaries around the boundless. But I'm inclined to say, be sparing with those phrases.
