The One

What the app does

The ascent from body to soul, from soul to Intellect, and from Intellect to the One, which is reached only by letting everything go. Plotinus called it the flight of the alone to the alone.

Ways in: Withdrawal, Paced breath. Every session is carried on binaural sound tuned toward theta, the slow rhythm of the edge of sleep that these rites were built to reach. More on the state.

Questions

Do I need anything besides my phone?

Headphones. The app carries the rite on binaural sound, which only works when each ear hears its own tone.

What is it based on?

Plotinus, the Enneads. The names, words and order are taken from the source and guided step by step. The full list of sources is in the Library.

Is there an EEG version?

Not yet. EEG neurofeedback editions are coming as a $19.99 add-on per app, built in order of request. They will need a Neurosity Crown headset, sold separately.
