BECOMING SUPRA

Chapter 5.1: Brain Waves

Through the parting fog, Bose entered the circular clearing and stood before the clan, gathering their attention.

"The path to your true-potential is through a vibration. It is through a vibration that you will connect to and access the singularity, the spark, the source of all creation.

"Once connection is sustained, you will be plugged into the zero-point-energy-field that unites everything. Once connection is sustained, your nervous-system will reboot and dissonance will decrease and you will come into coherence. With the progressive fine tuning of your vibrations your paranormal centres will get activated and you will inch out of your dormant state, gradually igniting the latent superpowers that reside in each and every one of us. Eventually becoming SUPRA: one who is above and beyond.

"Your search is simple: find the vibration and sustain a connection for uninterrupted periods of time, without breaking concentration. Sustain the vibration long enough so as to merge into it, so as to become it."

Bose walked to the console to serve himself a cup of tea then settled back in his seat.

"This is the wisdom of the old. This roadmap was given to me by my Master, who in turn was given it to her by hers, in a line of accession that has not been broken since it was first discovered. Many before have found it, many before have kindled their powers and evolved into becoming supra beings. We come as we are and look no different than you or you or you," he said, pointing at each of them. "What tells us apart cannot be seen with the naked eye because it is a frequency radioing out from our operating systems."

Bose got up from his seat. "We start by learning the basic notes. Delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma. Greek alphabets that signify brainwave patterns. Follow me inside."

They entered the edifice for the first time, walking through jaws of layered glass and towards empty chambers, bright with sunshine that flared out like glass fingers.

"These are low-gravity, sensory-deprivation chambers - designed to help study brain waves with acuity. If you will, pick a chamber and settle in supine."

They opened the first door, then the second, their bodies lifted up with the low gravity. Weightlessness enveloped them, light as a feather, they were floating effortlessly in mid-air. They adjusted their buoyancy, clumsily at first then with some practice settled in a recumbent position. Through the glass ceiling they could see forest and open blue sky.

"If you blink twice, a number will display your current brain frequency."

Chin-Hae blinked twice. A red wave snaked in front of him. Two perpendicular lines with a jagged vibration between it.

It read: Alpha (8 – 12 hertz) resting state.

"Thoughts are acts of creation. Each thought releases a flurry of chemicals. There is a chemical for every emotion. Thoughts emit frequencies that permeate your entire operating systems. Some are smooth, serene and calming; some are jagged, erratic and unsettling. Some thoughts lower your heart-rate, some pump adrenalin and make you break out into a sweat.

"When the mind is void of thoughts, void of erratic vibrations the brain enters into a theta state – a hypnagogic space between sleep and wakefulness. A narrow window between 4 – 8 cycles per second. This is the narrow gap in which you will be able to access and connect with the all-powerful spark of creation."

Raë blinked twice, a red wave snaked in front of her, a jagged vibration between two perpendicular lines.

It read: 

Delta (12 -38 hertz) alert thinking.

Ezra pressed a button, his cubicle got swallowed in black film, he pressed it a second time and came back to view again.

"That button, to your right will filter out all light and noise, create a cave-like ambience and deprive your senses of further stimulation. This is designed to aid you in lowering your brainwaves to the point between sleep and wakefulness. Designed to keep you relaxed yet focused. Practice starts when you decide."

Raë watched the lattice of sunlight dancing through the trees. Then looked at her immediate cubicles, Yinka was on one side and Æsh on the other. Her display read: Delta (12 -38 hertz). She had to slow down the frequency of her thoughts - to just 4 brain waves per second. It seemed like an unimaginable feat but supposedly the only pathway to revving up her vortices and igniting the supernatural within.

The idea of floating in the dark enthralled her. She pressed the button to her right, the glass turned opaque, cutting her from all stimulation - except that of her mind.

Æsh watched Raë disappear cube by cube in a cloak of black. He decided to keep his chamber open to light. A latticework of sunlight was dancing through the trees.

He inhaled and filled the hollow of his being, taking in the four corners bracketing him. He shut his eyes. He paused, slowly trying to breathe out the iterations of his rankled past.

Some blackened the aquariums of light, some lay face up to the sky, all in search of a frequency: the secret to awakening their latent supra-human proclivities.
