READ BEFORE LISTENING

This transmission is different from our regular programming. It is not an Acousmatic Documentary but the first in a series of documents that make up The Soft Sticks Radio Institute's Protocol.

Expanding upon research pioneered by Itzhak Bentov, The Monroe Institute and subsequently the CIA in the 1970s the SSRI’s Protocol consists of a series of auditory documents that utilizing Brain Hemisphere Synchronization Binaural Beats, among other tonal and aural patterns, aids in fast-tracking the listener to higher states of mind that would normally require years of meditation to achieve.

The highest revolutionary act is decalcifying your pineal gland and 'opening your third eye.'

For this, it is fundamental that you listen with headphones, in a comfortable prone position or sitting with back and neck support. Close your eyes. To enhance the effects and help you in concentrating, listening in a dark and quiet space is also beneficial.

It is also important that you participate in the Document’s prompts. When The Guide counts, repeat each number after it has been spoken. When prompted to vocalize, do so. The process of Resonant Tuning is key to fully enjoy the Document’s effects; it doesn’t matter if it’s a barely audible hum or full-on chanting. It is important that you vocalize with your physical body, not only mentally.

You may as well, listen on a loudspeaker system or with headphones while partaking in other activities for the enjoyment of the Document’s aural textures. You will, however, not obtain its potential benefits this way. It is of the utmost importance that you do not listen while driving or operating any machinery.

The main thing you can expect from Document 1 is a state of deep relaxation and heightened cerebral perception, vivid mental images, and intensified mindfulness. At the end of the Document, you’ll feel heightened focus and awareness.

The effects and their intensity can vary widely between listeners and many other external factors. It is advisable to listen to the Document under different circumstances and see what works best for you. If you find yourself distracted by intrusive thoughts or must change position at any given point, do not stress about this. The Document allows for you to come in and out of it, but try to relax your body and concentrate on the sounds. We do not recommend you listen to the Document over three times in 24 hours. Avoid having a heavy meal or substantial amounts of coffee or alcohol an hour before playback. Ideally, listen in a place free of demonic energies. If such a place is not available, light some sage before, and after listening.
