SSUN Project: Infinity Breathing Technique for Meditation

Steps for the Technique:

0) Suggestion - Play some suitable background noise/music, my recommendations are (feel free to add
recommendations!): The Drone Zone, you can find this Winamp Internet Radio Station if you search for
it on Shoutcast.com, The Theta/Delta CD that accompanies the RI course, and The Mind Meditation
audio files that were made available in the recommendations section.

1) Preparation - With optional background music playing quietly, otherwise, with no outside noise (or as
little as possible), lie down, flat on back, head on pillow(s) (or flat if you prefer), under a blanket if it is
cold, in as good of health as possible, no mental or emotional concerns, perfectly content, sleepy but
not too sleepy, on a comfortable bed, and begin doing the light-breathing technique if you know how to
do it. If not, begin breathing in and out slowly, in an effort to slow your breathing, your heartbeat and
the natural pulse of the body, pausing between breathing both in and out.

2) Contemplation - At this point, the mental "realization" of infinity is engaged, such that our
continuously expanding perception of infinity is achieved by linking it to our breath. Before linking them,
we may try to imagine how vastly incomprehensible infinity is all on it's own, ie., imagining oneself
travelling forever in a single direction of space. Now, in the case of this technique, we will use the
concept of imagining oneself expanding and becoming infinitely larger as long as our breath in will last,
and imagining oneself contracting and becoming infinitely smaller as long as our breath out will last. We
will always build upon the point we had gotten to in our previous set of in-breaths and out-breaths, such
that we will always perceive ourselves as having travelled further into macro or micro-scopia with each
consecutive breath than the time before.

3) Actualization - Now that the technique is properly perceived and all variables have been set in favour
of the attempt succeeding, we begin with a breath out, and a small-scale association to go with it. We
will imagine that as we breathe out, we are shrinking down to the size of an atom, and we watch
everything around us "zoom by" as we do so. We see ourselves as being a speck. This can be used as the
"starting point" that we will never return to until just before the end of the technique. The breathing-
micro/macroscopia association truly begins from this point on. At the first breath in, we will imagine
ourselves growing from the point of being an atom all the way to encompassing this entire planet, solar
system, or universe, depending on how far we can imagine ourselves expanding while we breathe in as
much as we can, as slowly as we can. The next breathe out will bring us well past the atom we were
starting out as, to a point where we can see that this atom in fact represents the "casing" of a universe
one level "below" our own. We will zoom right past it to the point where what had seemed so small
before now seems incredibly large, continuing on until we are out of breath. The next breath in will work
the same way but in the opposite direction. We will zoom right past the brink of the universe to a point
where it seems as an atom inside of another universe one level "up". The next set of breaths will bring
us "two" levels down and up, then "three", and so on and so forth.

4) Metamorphosis - This final step, in a sense, "actualizes the actuality". It is crucial to perceive the "flip"
points during this technique, where the very small suddenly seem very large and vice versa, because you
must at some point remove the notion of zooming in or out X amount of levels, and simply zoom in and
out as far as possible, always further, feeling the "flip" points as "ridges" as though you were sliding
through a cylinder with performations, kind of like a cylindrical Ruffles Chip! These ridges will then begin
to smoothen, as One and Infinity begin to collapse into one another, and by this point, if successful, you
will surely not be feeling your physical body anymore. You are essentially engaging this technique to pull
the "Two" (I have talked about this in other recent posts) back into "One", by making two Infinities into
One Infinity, and it is by doing so that you can enter the Void, the source and destination of all reality,
more easily this way than perhaps through some other techniques.

5) Id - If the metamorphosis is successful, your ego, now without anything to associate itself to,
transforms into Id, and you can experience the subconscious bliss of total connectness with a kind of
consciousness that will become less foggy and hazy with practise and experience. In this place, if one can
maintain it, the source of what makes RV and RI work is contained, and it is here best we can see how
seamless they are and how they can be combined.
