In “Mindfulness and Infinity of Thoughts: Tahv Mindedness: Living with the Maximally Infinite,” Dr. Peter G. Gross, MD, explores the profound concept of infinity as it pertains to the human mind. Inspired by Georg Cantor’s revolutionary work on set theory, Dr. Gross presents the idea that the greatest infinite collection is the sum of all thoughts. Using various techniques of thought exchange between individual minds, the book delves into this expansive notion, introducing readers to the concept of the Tahv, the maximally infinite. The book purposefully refrains from exhaustively defining Tahv, allowing readers to organically develop their understanding of this new concept.
Dr. Gross aims to make this complex topic accessible to readers without requiring a background in mathematics. The narrative is crafted to be both enlightening and enjoyable, transforming a seemingly abstract idea into an engaging and understandable discussion. The book encourages readers to interact with the material, prompting them to make their own notes and reflections as they progress. This approach not only fosters a deeper connection with the subject but also makes the reading experience more personal and dynamic.
The brevity of the book is intentional, reflecting the notion that our infinite thoughts cannot be confined to a closed system. Dr. Gross emphasizes that nothing can ever be truly completed in an infinite system, paralleling the nature of human consciousness. “Mindfulness and Infinity of Thoughts” invites readers to embrace the boundless nature of their thoughts, encouraging a shift in perception that highlights the infinite potential within each mind.
