Faux insight on the pan-dimensional nature of man

Hmmm, been wondering about the finite/infinite nature of man lately. Are there an infinite number of perceivable dimensions in a universe that stretches onward into infinity? Or is everything exactly as it appears face-value and there is no depth to it at all? It would seem to me that the only description impossible to apply to the universe is simplicity. It would be easy to say that there is nothing beyond what we can perceive, nothing but the corporeal, nothing but nothingness ultimately. And yet, all of the evidence points to the infinite complexity of everything. The mere existence of infinite mathematical series imples to me that in both directions, macro and micro, from out perceived world, there could extend an endless number worlds and levels of existence. We ourselves may exist in multiple dimensions; in levels of existence that we are not aware of. Not everyone views us in the same way, we all have a filter that constricts our view of the world. No one can grasp the entirety of another person, a person cannot grasp the entirety of themselves. We are endlessly complex, but complexity may be the only way we know how to interpret simplicity. No man is capable of understanding nothingness, nonexistence. The very nature of nonexistence implies that it cannot be perceived. For if there was something to be perceived, then it would in fact have to exist. The simplest answer to our ultimate fate, nonexistence, would then be the most complicated. I think I should read some Zen. Goodnight
