The Infinity Zone - A Transcendent Approach To Peak Performance

by Matthew J. Pallamary, Paul Mayberry

Albert Einstein said, “Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space-time along with its related concepts of energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. The Infinity Zone is a phenomena that occurs at the nexus of perfect form and motion that when utilized properly, can bring balance, power, and control to a number of physical and mental activities on multiple levels. Based on the form and motion of the Figure 8, the Infinity Zone applies its dynamics back and forth through the inner spectrum of cognition across the boundaries of thought and matter and back again, from the mental to the physical; to the depths of infinity inside of us to the boundless infinity without. In order to navigate the physical world our senses take in a multitude of stimuli, much of it through the eyes and ears. What our senses take in, our minds process continuously, reinterpreting the incoming data from moment to moment, instantaneously making adjustments to the shifting environment. By regulating our breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure, as well as other unconscious physiological functions, our body’s natural intelligence strives for balance; especially when it is involved in intense physical activity that requires great coordination, like sports or dancing. This rapid exchange between inner subjectivity and outer objectivity is an infinity pattern between external stimulus and inner interpretation. The continuous volley and serve of stimulus and response moves back and forth in the same manner as a tennis match, only this match is played at very high speed with multiple volleys. A tennis player who has mastered the Infinity Zone not only has the poised “inner game of tennis” where matches are won; they also control the outer world through the movement of their bodies through the Infinity Zone, making them superior players. Not only are they doing a rapid subjective objective dance; the two sides of their brain are also communicating on many levels, instantaneously sending masses of information volleying back and forth across the “net” of the corpus callosum, the central area in the fissure of the brain that facilitates communication between both sides. When the motion of their body comes into harmony with their whole being in the form of the figure 8, their body, mind, and emotion are balanced, operating at peak power and efficiency -- in the Infinity Zone. The laws of physics that the Infinity Zone follows are prevalent throughout the natural world as well as through the geometry of projective space which has more points than Euclidean space where every point is determined by the three dimensions of length, width, and height. Because of their prevalence, these forms and functions are brought to light through the study of Sacred Geometry which shows through the universal language of mathematics, the perfection of natural form and motion. The next geometric progression is time, the fourth dimension, which follows the same rules of geometry. Here the three dimensions become active, moving from static to dynamic, into the vector of time. Universal principles of perfect form and motion are apparent in the Infinity Zone. This elegant peak of power and efficiency through form and movement is ubiquitous throughout nature, art, music, and sports. Once practiced and understood, the Infinity Zone is realized as a higher state of consciousness that can be applied to achieve transcendent peak performance. Its power is universal.

[Andreas · Rating 1 out of 5]

A disappointing book. I wanted to learn more about this "infinity" concept and what that means to reach peak performance. This is not answered at all. Instead you first learn about the golden mean and where it can be found in nature. That part was actually interesting but not because of the material presented here. It triggered other thoughts, especially the picture of a spiral made me think.

Chapter 3 has more geometry and I couldn't see how this is related to the topic. Chapter 4 started to really annoy me. It tries to give the number 8 special meaning by investigating where it can be found. With such an approach you can find meaning in anything. Pick a number and there will be countless examples to prove you right. Chapter 6 will do the same looking at music.

Chapter 5 dives into biology and slowly starts to become more interesting but stops short before making useful conclusions. Chapter 7 finally has the title "The Infinity Zone in Sports", and what does it starts with? Billiard and the ball with the number 8. What a nonsense. Oh, there is more:

In rowing an "eight" refers to a sweep-oar racing boat with a crew of eight rowers plus a coxswain.

Yes, this is deep wisdom... Chapter 8 is advertisement for the 8board, however, it made me aware that in many different sports the hip will generate the power and that the arms and legs are just at the end of the kinetic chain. E.g. it's not the muscles in the legs that are responsible for a strong kick, the magic starts somewhere else.

Finally we have a chapter about the brain and altered states that I found unnecessarily complicated and confusing. In my opinion the wrong examples are used so everything remains pretty vague.

Maybe this reader is not ready but it's the book's fault of linking too many topics artificially together, missing clarity and a misleading title.
