They prompt attempts 2 visit SUPRAINFINIT.If no co-ordinates exist then maybe you journey via portal from connected locations in our known world to points in ’spacetime‘.Would one need gateways?Is SUPRAINFINIT really utopia?Do portals REALLY lead there if Pandora’s box didn’t?Crew of Lewis & Clark died on Event Horizon.Ghana’s Coast portals were ‘doors of no return’ 2 slaves from 1482-1786.History & sci-fi show us perils accompany open portals.The Bible recites protection & peril by portal where God wreaks vengeance on the Egyptians for abusing his people.For his adherents safety they sprinkle lambs blood on their doorposts.Ones who marked their portal & stayed behind it were saved and God led faithful 2 reward thru a Red Sea portal.The concept of portals is essential to Muslims too.Prayers & prayermats are gates to paradise.Do our laborers likewise lead ones seeking SUPRAINFINIT?
