I thought about the whole concept of seeing one thing and everything at once, and while I could imagine such a possibility, it was not as easy trying to express that on a piece of paper, or even looking it up on the Internet*. Even pieces that attempt to recreate the scene of The Aleph cannot contain everything; 'everything' depends on our own interpretations of it. Hence, the key to seeing everything is simply the imagination. On a canvas, 'everything' would simply be chaos, but in our minds it is possible to see it all without losing the structure of matters. In short, all we have to do is will ourselves to 'see everything', close our eyes, and enjoy the ride, so to speak.
