Speediness, not calmness, ignites a take-off into the empty breath. In its bliss of nothing, you see that your experiences of something are nothing.
When you listen to music via AirPlay, a marvel of modern technology, the music travels through the air for about a second to reach your speaker. So, you must travel back in time to listen to the music’s origin. But the media with the origin contains nothing other than soundless zeros and ones.
What you hear via AirPlay is their conversion into something that can be transmitted to your speaker, reproducing them as vibrations perceived as music by you. An app, another combination of ones and zeros, mechanically performs the conversion. In a similar fashion, the brain twists nothing into an experience of something in just one second, presenting you as a substantial entity in a tangible world.

Going back on second to the nothingness where the empty breath resides
According to science, the universe is a vast expanse of empty space. However, our brains fabricate experiences from nothing, leading us to believe we are somebody in a world of something. But we are hesitant to accept that we are a mirage conjured by the brain to conceal that there is nothing outside of oneness.
Any experience of something generated from nothing takes one second for the brain to process. Therefore, if you go back one second in time, your present experience of something does not hide you are nothing. Since the empty breath also is nothing, you meet it there. Therefore, connecting with the empty breath takes one second.
How do I go back one second to the empty breath?
A dream is chaotic, but you make it coherent in retrospect by editing it per linear time. However, your experiences with open eyes are just as disorganised. Therefore, you edit your reaction to the chaos to make it seem organised per the collectively agreed view of a world defined by time and space.
But suppose you do not edit your response to the brain’s chaotic experiences. In that case, the energy of unsuppressed confusion ignites a take-off into the empty breath. In its connectedness, there is not something to confirm you as someone. Therefore, although the world goes on as usual, you are in the bliss of nothing.
Be aware that the empty breath does not heal the body but the belief you are encapsulated by time and space. So when you return from the bliss of nothing to the conscious experience of being someone in a world defined by time and space, something as pain is perceived as nothing. However, that does not mean you should not care for the body while you appear in the brain’s fantasy of something. You also take care of your car, for example, although it is not you. So, do not hesitate to seek medical attention for the body if needed.
Since oneness is formless, thus endless, there is nothing but the formlessness of oneness. Consequently, any appearance of something, whether mundane or spiritual, is an illusion. So, both you and the empty breath are nothing. However, your nothingness, which the brain has processed into something, becomes indifferent to the experiences of something in the presence of the unprocessed empty breath.
Not pacifying yourself but stepping into the uncontrolled speed of suppressed thoughts and feelings to ignite a take-off into the empty breath
Although unaltered speed and chaos connect you with the empty breath, being connected is not speedy or chaotic. Think of an aeroplane. Speed ignites the take-off, but flying is a relaxed experience of floating in nothing.
Regarding speed, when we appear as somebody on the Earth, we are always moving extremely fast. As mentioned in Duality Hack #6.2, the Earth is spinning at 1,000 miles an hour while hurtling around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour. However, since most maintain a definitive perception of themselves, thus appearing stagnant, they are not in touch with their speed, so they cannot use it to ignite a take-off into the empty breath. That is why Duality Hack #9 .1-10 is mainly about using our suppressed energy as a take-off into the empty breath.
Let us imagine you cover your eyes with your hand so nothing disturbs you from daydreaming about something impossible. However, after a while you are disturbed by sounds that are not in your daydream. If you are curious to see what your dream covers and sense your hand prevents you from doing that, you automatically remove it.[Photo: Alexius]
Having had enough ignites a take-off into the empty breath
The story in the above box resembles how a take-off into the empty breath is ignited. The hand symbolises selected thoughts organised into a spiritual or mundane vocabulary that you share with like-minded to establish you as real and not a fantasy of the brain.
You loosen the grip on the vocabulary when you feel it imprisons you. Next, you use the energy suppressed by the vocabulary to ignite a take-off into the empty breath. In its emptiness, you still appear as someone in a make-believe world. But since you are with the empty breath, you are not attributed with a specific meaning, so you are in a state of not-knowing, free from the constraints of predefined meanings and interpretation. See Duality Hack #9.10.
If this seems confusing, do not try to clarify the turmoil but join its unedited energy to ignite a take-off into the empty breath – or dive further into Duality Hack #9.1-10.
However, you will never know how to connect with the empty breath. It is not something but nothing, and you cannot learn how to connect with nothing. Nevertheless, if you forget what you know, you do not appear to be something hiding that you are nothing, thus linked with the empty breath.
