Small Infinities builds a world out of two simple observations. 

1. What is inside my mind is not outside my mind. What is outside my mind is not inside my mind. 

2. When a sufficiently complex and dynamic system includes an observer, a viewer, a consciousness, a self, that system is an Infinite System.

These observations are deliciously vague. For me they are also Evocative with a capital E! How can a world be built from just these? Perhaps you sense some of the worlds and world-views that might arise from them. I will unfold one or more of the worlds I see piece by piece so that I, and hopefully (if I learn to do it well) you, can take some time, and check out the changing views and the worlds that each view generates … and to just keep spinning out these worlds whenever we want. World views. Systems of worlds. Galaxies of worlds.

I find some of the views that arise from this world building to be so powerful that I discovered that I was building for myself a way of looking at my life, my problems, my hopes and my approach to what I do next, and how I do it. I found that they pointed to ways forward. I need ways forward.

And I have found that they continually generate paths and vantage points that I find liberating. Ways of thinking and ways of living that are liberating are often called Ways of Liberation. This is how I use them.

The Way of Small Infinities, then, is a set of practices, designs, methodologies, disciplines and arts which arise easily and immediately from taking these observations and ways at face value, from sitting with them, from spending time with them. I write them out so that I can casually and carelessly, desperately and systematically, get back to them and sit with them whenever I want.

The job of Small-Infinities is to spin out more and more paths that rise up naturally and easily along the way of Simplicity and Complexity

More paths are unfolding on the Surfaces blog.
