Book Review: The Infinity Connection

Reviewed by Samantha Hui

An exploration of the boundless self and universe, urging us to embrace our role in making the world a better place

“Openness, receptivity, and a willingness to value and heed signs is, then, a sure way to invite their proliferation and trust the help being provided by Infinity.”

Australian author Laura Fienor tackles the vast and multifaceted concept of infinity with passion and knowledge across disciplines. Drawing from a rich tapestry of cross-cultural and multidisciplinary sources, the book explores how the idea of infinity intersects with various religious, scientific, spiritual, and indigenous traditions. At its heart, the book encourages readers to embrace a deeper, more interconnected understanding of existence, promoting unity both within oneself and with the world around us.

“What each person does in a single life can, indeed, be a tapestry of interwoven threads. Ideas, experiences, and actions that may have originally seemed irrelevant, challenging, or disparate, can prove to be deeply and profoundly interconnected when an individual comes to a conscious awareness of their greater soul purpose.”

Infinity is often associated with the idea of boundlessness, something that exists beyond the constraints of time and space. It is viewed in spiritual contexts as wisdom, grace, love, oneness, and the self: both individual and universal. Fienor uses this concept to weave a narrative that transcends cultural boundaries, aiming to unite readers in their shared understanding of infinity. The book moves between ancient wisdom and new-age theories, blending scientific and spiritual perspectives with practical, actionable advice on how embracing infinity can lead to a more altruistic, meaningful life.

“The best path forward is to not fear or resist change and what the future holds – everything that happens is a crucial part of life’s journey, and it is a mark of wisdom if an individual is able to acknowledge the spiritual advancement that lies in the experience of negative (as well as positive) life events.”

The structure of The Infinity Connection is well-organized and accessible, guiding the reader through its complex subject matter. The book opens with an introduction that outlines the varied meanings and visual symbolisms of infinity, establishing a foundation for the chapters that follow. 

It is divided into three main parts: Part 1 focuses on new-age and mystical theories, Part 2 addresses quantum and spiritual perspectives, and Part 3 provides practical activities for readers to implement in their daily lives. The appendix offers further insights for those looking to explore the subject in greater depth. At each stage, Fienor provides concrete examples of what embracing or failing to embrace infinity looks like in practice, helping readers relate to the material in a personal way.

“These philosophies link back to the notion of the oneness of all things, and the fact that humans are always participating in a universe that is acting in partnership with them. In other words, people of the world are one, as they belong to a planet that lives and breathes as a single organism (thus when any part of the interconnected whole is damaged, everybody is affected).”

The content flows seamlessly from modern new-age thinking into the ancient and indigenous perspectives on infinity. This transition makes the book both intellectually stimulating and accessible to readers from various backgrounds. Additionally, Fienor’s emphasis on indigenous knowledge and honoring nature stands out as an important aspect of the book. By grounding much of her material in these traditions, she ensures that the wisdom of these cultures is not lost, creating a richer, more holistic understanding of infinity.

However, while the book offers a compelling exploration of infinity, at times, the text can repeat itself, with some concepts being revisited without significant elaboration. While the book does provide some examples of what embracing or failing to embrace infinity looks like, many of these examples are abstract or generalized. Real-world examples may have been helpful in grounding the ideas in a way that readers could more easily relate to and apply in their own lives.

“Ultimately, after determining the higher cause that brings greatest inspiration, it is possible to work independently or with other like-minded individuals to create a preferred reality. In working to make the world a better place, Infinity recognises determination and commitment, and strives to bring both inspiration and assistance to those who are positive and open to receiving support.”

The Infinity Connection offers an intriguing and accessible exploration of a complex and vast topic. The book invites readers to see beyond materialistic goals and embrace a more connected, purposeful existence rooted in the infinite nature of life and the universe. While it may be better suited to those interested in new-age thinking or spiritual exploration, it is also valuable for anyone curious about cross-cultural philosophies and the interconnectedness of existence. 

Ultimately, Fienor presents a powerful call to action for a more altruistic and unified approach to life, encouraging readers to see themselves as part of the infinite flow of existence and to act with that understanding in mind.
