This is one of the most interesting reads i've come across it's rather complex and takes a while to digest but it's 100 percent worth it it's an official declassified cia document and a terrific analysis of consciousness and beyond known as the gateway process while it's an older document and has been declassified for a while now the fact that modern developments in science Quantum physics psychedelics and neurobiology confirm what's written within those pages is nothing short of outstanding it explains consciousness in a profound and analytical way and merges knowledge from mystics from hindu buddhist and tibetan
cultures to contemporary scientific knowledge of planck distance einstein's theory of relativity and the works of niels bohr the cosmic spiral and taurus is everything and everything is one it Seems as though individual consciousness is pulled from the collective consciousness using the frequency vibrations of the being this applies to humans whales fungus and amoeba mystics of past and present including all ancient religions understood these concepts thousands of years ago still it takes much to open the minds of the most pragmatic self-conscious and uptight people this is the first step along your path To a gateway a

to take this class and i'm glad i did by taking this class i was able to identify the areas of my life that needed the most attention and break through self-sabotage and fears this made a huge difference it really helped therefore i strongly recommend taking this class Once you're done you'll have a practice you can use on your own without any guidance skillshare is an online learning community for creatives where millions come together to take the next step in their creative journey the first 1000 people to use the link on my description box or my
code will get a one month free trial of skillshare now let's get back to the video one introduction in order to describe the monroe Institute technique for achieving altered states of consciousness the gateway experience involving brain hemisphere synchronization or hemisink the most effective way to begin is to briefly profile the basic mechanics which underlay operation of related methods such as hypnosis transcendental meditation and biofeedback it is easiest to effectively describe what gateway is by beginning with a short description of those associated techniques that share Some common aspects with the gateway experience but which are nevertheless
different in this way we can develop a frame of reference at the outset which will provide useful concepts to explain and understand gateway by comparison as we proceed [Music] 5. gateway and hemisync fundamentally the gateway experience is A training system designed to bring enhanced strength focus and coherence to the amplitude and frequency of brainwave output between the left and right hemispheres so as to alter consciousness moving it outside the physical sphere so as to ultimately escape even the restrictions of time and space the participant then gains access to the various levels of intuitive knowledge which
the universe offers what differentiates the gateway experience From forms of meditation is its use of the hemisink technique which is defined in a monograph by monroe institute trainer melissa jaeger as a state of consciousness defined when the eeg patterns of both hemispheres are simultaneously equal in amplitude and frequency although hemi sync seems to be rather rare and of only short duration in ordinary human consciousness melissa jagger states that audio techniques developed by bob monroe can induce and Sustain hemisync with the institute's basic focus 3 tapes she also notes that studies conducted by elmer and alice
greene at the henniger foundation have shown that a subject with 20 years of training in zen meditation could consistently establish hemisink at will sustaining it for over 15 minutes dr stewart twemlow a psychiatrist and research associate of the monroe institute reports in our studies of the effect of the monroe tape system on Brainwaves we have found that the tapes encourage the focusing of brain energy it can be measured as with a light bulb in watts into a narrower and narrower frequency band the focusing of energy is not unlike the yoga concept of one pointedness which
we may translate in western terms as single-mindedness dr twemlow goes on to observe that as the individual gets into the tapes beyond focus 3 there is a gradual increase in brain wave size which is a measure of Brain energy or power 6. lamp versus laser melissa jaeger uses a metaphor to help clarify the process involved in the use of hemisink in the gateway experience she points out that the human mind in its natural state may be likened to an ordinary lamp which expands energy in the form of both heat and light but in a chaotic
incoherent way which diffuses its energy Over a wide area of rather limited depth on the other hand the human mind under the discipline of hemisink acts in the fashion of a laser beam which produces a disciplined stream of light the stream of energy is projected with total coherence of both frequency and amplitude such that the surface area of a laser beam contains billions of times the concentrated energy found in a similar surface area on the sun gateway assumes that once the frequency and Amplitude of the human brain are rendered coherent it is possible to begin
accelerating both so that the human mind is soon resonating at ever higher vibrational levels the mind can then bring itself into synchronization with more sophisticated and rarefied energy levels in the universe the mind when operating at these increasingly rarefied levels is assumed to be capable of processing the information thus received through the same fundamental Matrix by which it makes sense of ordinary physical sensory input to achieve meaning in a cognitive context such meaning is usually perceived visually in the form of symbols but may also be perceived as astonishing flashes of holistic intuition or even in
the form of scenarios involving both visual and oral perception the mechanics by which the mind exercises the consciousness function will be addressed in more detail later in this paper Seven frequency following response to achieve synchronization of brain hemispheres the hemisink technique takes advantage of a phenomenon known as the frequency following response ffr which means that if a subject hears a sound produced at a frequency which emulates one of those associated with the operation of the human brain the brain will try to mimic the same frequency pattern by adjusting its brainwave Output therefore if the subject
is in a fully awake state but here's sound frequencies which approximate brainwave output at the theta level the subject's brain will endeavor to alter its brainwave pattern from the normal beta to the theta level since the theta level is associated with sleep the subject concerned may progress from a fully awake to a sleep state providing that he does not consciously resist as the brain strives to entrain its wave frequency Output with one which the person hears since these brainwave frequencies are outside of the spectrum of sounds which can be heard in pure form by the
human ear hemisink must produce them based on another phenomenon known as the brain's capacity for deducing beat frequencies if the human brain is exposed to one frequency in the left ear which is 10 hertz below another audible frequency played in the right ear rather than hearing either of the two audible Frequencies the brain chooses to hear the difference between them the beat frequency thus availing itself of the ffr phenomenon and using the technique of beat frequencies the gateway system uses hemisync and other audio techniques employing the ffr phenomenon to introduce a variety of frequencies which
are played at a virtually subliminal marginally audible level the objective is to relax the left hemisphere of the brain place the physical body in a Virtual sleep state and bring the left and right hemispheres into coherence under conditions designed to promote the production of ever higher amplitude and frequency of brainwave output audible and perhaps subliminal suggestions by bob monroe accompany the various brainwave frequencies which are sometimes rolled in together with other sounds such as sea surf to mask the sound frequencies were desirable in this way gateway endeavors to provide the Subject with the tools by
which he may alter his consciousness based on his own volition over time through the repetitive use of the tapes so as to access via intuitive means new categories of information not available to ordinary consciousness eight role of resonance however brain coherence through entrainment to beat frequencies introduced via stereo headphones is only part of the reason why the gateway System works it is also designed to achieve the physical quietude characteristic of deep transcendental meditative states which bring about a complete alteration of the fundamental resonance pattern associated with the sound frequencies produced by the human body yoga
zen or transcendental meditation if practiced long enough will produce a change in the sound frequency with which the human heart resonates throughout the entire body according to Bentov this change in resonance results from the elimination of what the medical profession calls the bifurcation echo so that the sound of the heartbeat can move synchronously up and down the circulatory system in harmonious resonance approximately seven times a second benzov describes the role played by the bifurcation echo as follows when the left ventricle of the heart ejects blood the aorta being elastic balloons out just beyond the valve
and causes a Pressure pulse to travel down along the aorta when the pressure pulse reaches the bifurcation in the lower abdomen which is where the aorta forks into to go into the legs part of the pressure pulse rebounds and starts traveling up the aorta if in the meantime the heart ejects more blood and a new pressure pulse is traveling down these two pressure points will eventually collide somewhere along the aorta and produce an interference pattern by placing the body In a sleep-like state the gateway tapes achieve the same goal as meditation in that it places
the body in such a profoundly relaxed state that the bifurcation echo slowly fades away as the heart lessens the force and frequency with which it pushes blood into the aorta the result is a regular rhythmic sine wave pattern of sound which echoes throughout the body and rises up into the head in sustained resonance the amplitude of this sine Wave pattern when measured with a sensitive seismograph type instrument is about three times the average of the sound volume produced by the heart when it is operating normally nine brain stimulation bentoff's biomedical model shows that this resonance
is of considerable importance since it is directly transmitted to and impacts upon the brain the resulting vibration is Received and transmitted into the brain itself via the fluid-filled third and left ventricles located above the brainstem an electromagnetic pulse is then generated which stimulates the brain to raise the amplitude and frequency of brainwave output just as dr twemlo observed in his research on the effects of the hemisink tapes also the brain is contained in a tight membrane called the dura which is in turn cushioned by a thin layer of fluid Located between it and the skull
as the coherent resonance produced by the human heart in a state of profound relaxation reaches the fluid layer surrounding the brain it sets up a rhythmic pattern in which the brain moves up and down approximately .005 to .01 millimeters in a continuous pattern the self-reinforcing character of resonant behavior accounts for the body's ability to sustain this movement despite the minimal level of energy Involved in this way the entire body based on its own micro motion functions as a tuned vibrational system which transfers energy in a range between 6.8 and 7.5 hertz into the earth's ionospheric
cavity which itself resonates at about 7 to 7.5 hertz of this process bentav states this is occurring at a very long wavelength of about 40 000 kilometers or just above the perimeter of the planet in other words the signal from the movement of Our bodies will travel around the world in about one-seventh of a second through the electrostatic field in which we are embedded such a long wavelength knows no obstacles and its strength does not attenuate much over large distances naturally it will go through just about anything metal concrete water and the fields making up
our bodies it is the ideal medium for conveying a telepathic signal consequently the gateway process is designed to rather rapidly induce a State of profound calm within the nervous system and to significantly lower blood pressure to cause the circulatory system skeleton and all other physical organ systems to begin vibrating coherently at approximately 7 to 7.5 cycles per second the resulting resonance sets up a regular repetitive sound wave which propagates in consonance with the electrostatic field of the earth 10. energy entrainment As the body is tuned into a coherent oscillator vibrating in harmony with the surrounding
electrostatic medium the specific exercises included in the gateway tapes enjoin the participant to build up the energy field surrounding his body presumably by using energy from the earth's field which the body is now in training because of its ability to resonate with it this puts the body's energy field into homogeneity with its surrounding environment and promotes Movement of the seat of consciousness into the surrounding environment partly in response to the fact that the two electromagnetic medians are now a single energy continuum thus the same process which moves the brain into focused coherence at steadily higher
levels of frequency and amplitude so as to entrain analogous frequencies in the universe for data collection also promotes the enhancement of bodily energy levels to a point adequate to permit the subject to Experience an out-of-body movement when he is ready to do so in addition by resonating with the earth's electromagnetic sphere the human body creates a surprisingly powerful carrier wave to assist the mind in communication activity with other human minds similarly tuned 11. consciousness and energy before our explanation can proceed any further it is essential to define the mechanism by which the human mind Exercises
the function known as consciousness and to describe the way in which that consciousness operates to deduce meaning from the stimuli which it receives to do this we will first consider the fundamental character of the material world in which we have our physical existence in order to accurately perceive the raw stuff with which our consciousness must work the first point which needs to be made is that the two Terms matter and energy tend to be misleading if taken to indicate two distinctly different states of existence in the physical world that we know it indeed if the
term matter is taken to mean solid substance as opposed to energy which is understood to mean a force of some sort then the use of the former is entirely misleading science now knows that both the electrons which spin in the energy field located around the nucleus of the atom and the nucleus Itself are made up of nothing more than oscillating energy grids solid matter in the strict construction of the term simply does not exist rather atomic structure is composed of oscillating energy grids surrounded by other oscillating energy grids which orbit at extraordinarily high speeds in
his book stalking the wild pendulum itsak bentov gives the following figures the energy grid which composes the nucleus of the atom vibrates at Approximately 1022 hertz which means 10 followed by 22 zeros at 70 degrees fahrenheit an atom oscillates at the rate of 1015 hertz an entire molecule composed of a number of atoms bound together in a single energy field vibrates in the range of 109 hertz a live human cell vibrates at approximately 103 hertz the point to be made is that the entire human being brain consciousness and all Is like the universe which surrounds
him nothing more or less than an extraordinarily complex system of energy fields the so-called states of matter are actually variances in the state of energy and human consciousness is a function of the interaction of energy in two opposite states motion versus rest in a manner described in the following paragraph 12. holograms Energy creates stores and retrieves meaning in the universe by projecting or expanding at certain frequencies in a three-dimensional mode that creates a living pattern called a hologram the concept of the hologram can be most easily understood by using an example cited by benthoff in
which he asks the reader to visualize a bowl full of water into which three pebbles are dropped as the ripples created by the simultaneous entry of the three pebbles radiate Outward towards the rim of the bowl bentov further asks the reader to visualize that the surface of the water is suddenly flash frozen so that the ripple pattern is preserved instantly the ice is removed leaving the three pebbles still laying at the bottom of the bowl then the ice is exposed to a powerful coherent source of light such as a laser the result will be a
three-dimensional model or representation of the position of the Three pebbles suspended in midair holograms are capable of encoding so much detail that for example it is possible to take a holographic projection of a glass of swamp water and view it under magnification to see small organisms not visible to the naked eye when the glass of water itself is examined the whole concept of holography despite its scientific implications has only been known to physicists since the underlying mathematical principles were Worked out by dennis gabor in 1947. he later won a nobel prize for his work laboratory
demonstration of gabor's work only occurred years later following the invention of the laser as biologist lyle watson explains the purest kind of light available to us is that produced by a laser which sends out a beam in which all the waves are of one frequency like those made by an ideal pebble in a perfect pond when two laser beams touch they produce an interference pattern of Light and dark ripples that can be recorded on a photographic plate and if one of the beams instead of coming directly from the laser is reflected first off an object
such as a human face the resulting pattern will be very complex indeed but it can still be recorded the record will be a hologram of the face 13. the part encodes the whole a further importance is the fact that even if we dropped our frozen hologram Of the ripple pattern on the floor and broke it into a number of pieces each individual piece would recreate the entire holographic image all by itself the smaller the peace the fuzzier and more distorted would be the resulting holographic projection but the fact remains that a whole projection would nonetheless
be made the key to creating any hologram is that the energy in motion must interact with energy in a state of rest or non-motion In the foregoing example the pebbles represent energy in motion while the water before its agitation by the pebbles represents the energy at a state of rest to activate or in effect to perceive the meaning of a holograph energy in this case a coherent light source such as a laser beam must be passed through the interference pattern generated by the interaction between the moving energy and the energy at rest in the simple
example given by bentov this Requirement was fulfilled by holding the frozen interference pattern in front of the coherent light to project the three-dimensional holographic image its meaning into space as marilyn ferguson editor of the brain mind bulletin tells us another feature of a hologram is its efficiency billions of bits of information can be stored in a tiny space the pattern of the holographic photograph is stored everywhere on the Plate 14. the consciousness matrix the universe is composed of interacting energy fields some at rest and some in motion it is in and of itself one gigantic
hologram of unbelievable complexity according to the theories of carl pribram a neuroscientist at stanford university and david baum a physicist at the university of london the human mind is also a hologram which Attunes itself to the universal hologram by the medium of energy exchange thereby deducing meaning and achieving the state which we call consciousness with respect to states of expanded or altered consciousness such as gateway uses the process operates in the following way as energy passes through various aspects of the universal hologram and is perceived by the electrostatic fields which comprise the human mind the
holographic images being conveyed are projected upon Those electrostatic fields of the mind and are perceived or understood to the extent that the electrostatic field is operating at a frequency and amplitude that can harmonize with and therefore read the energy carrier wave pattern passing through it changes in the frequency and amplitude of the electrostatic field which comprises the human mind determine the configuration and hence the character of the holographic energy matrix which the Mind projects to intercept meaning directly from the holographic transmissions of the universe then to make sense of what the holographic image is saying
to it the mind proceeds to compare the image just received with itself specifically it does this by comparing the image received with that part of its own hologram which constitutes memory by registering differences in geometric form and in energy frequency the Consciousness perceives as psychologist keith floyd puts it contrary to what everyone knows is so it may not be the brain that produces consciousness but rather consciousness that creates the appearance of the brain 15. brain in phase the consciousness process is most easily envisaged if we picture the holographic input with a three-dimensional grid system superimposed
over it such that All of the energy patterns contained within can be described in terms of three-dimensional geometry using mathematics to reduce the data to the two-dimensional form bentov states that scientists suspect that the human mind operates on a simple binary go no-go system as do all digital computers therefore once it superimposes a three-dimensional matrix over holographic information it wishes to interpret and reduces that information Mathematically to two-dimensional form it can completely process it using its fundamental binary system just as any computer made by the hand of man can process volumes of data and make
various comparisons between the data and information stored in its digital memory our minds operate in the same way perceiving by comparison only benthoff states the proposition this way our whole reality is constructed by constantly making such comparisons Whenever we perceive something we always perceive differences only in states of expanded consciousness the right hemisphere of the human brain in its holistic non-linear and non-verbal mode of functioning acts as the primary matrix a receptor for this holographic input while by operating in phase or coherence with the right brain the left hemisphere provides the secondary matrix through its
binary computer-like method of functioning to screen further the Data by comparison and reduce it to a discrete two-dimensional form 16. evaluation to the extent that gateway succeeds in bringing about a refinement in the energy matrix of the mind it succeeds in expanding or altering human consciousness so that it can perceive without recourse to the intercession of the physical senses such that ever more of the universal hologram not of course accessible by sense perception can Ultimately be perceived and understood marilyn ferguson has written that the theories of pribram and baum appear to account for all transcendental
experience paranormal events and even normal perceptual oddities she goes on to say of pribram currently he is proposing a startling all-encompassing model that is generating considerable excitement among those intrigued by the mysteries of human consciousness his holographic model marries brain research To theoretical physics it accounts for normal perception and simultaneously takes the paranormal and transcendental experiences out of the supernatural by explaining them as a part of nature like certain strange discoveries of quantum physics the radical reorientation of this theory suddenly makes sense of paradoxical sayings of mystics throughout the ages 17 self-cognition To complete our
outline of the process by which the mind achieves and exercises consciousness we must also describe the mechanism which accounts for the aspect of human thought that differentiates it from the consciousness of plants or animals i.e self-cognition humans not only know but they know what they know they are able to monitor the process of their own thinking and maintain an awareness of it moreover they can conduct a comparative assessment Evaluating the functioning of their thought processes against various objective standards they have adopted human consciousness can do this because it has the capacity to duplicate aspects of
its own hologram project them out perceive that projection put it through comparison with the memory aspect where its evaluation standards of measure are stored of its own hologram and measure or sense the difference using three-dimensional geometry and then Binary go no go pulse to yield verbal cognition about the self 28 gateway method having put the gateway experience in context by postulating a structural outline of how and why it seems to work and having shown what it is designed to achieve the time has come to examine the specific techniques which comprise the gateway training process these
techniques are designed to enable The user of the gateway tapes to manipulate the high energy states which can be achieved if the user continues to work with the tapes over a period of time the amount of time required to reach advanced energy states and to fully exploit the techniques varies with the individual the sensitivity of his nervous system his general state of mind and the extent to which he may have previously developed facility in related techniques such as transcendental Meditation are all pertinent factors affecting the speed at which he may expect to progress the gateway
process begins by teaching the individual participant to isolate extraneous concerns in a visualization device called an energy conversion box next the participant is introduced to a method of encouraging his mind and body to strive to achieve a state of resonance through the utterance of a single tone a monotonous protracted Humming sound that sets up a feeling of vibration particularly in the head he engages in this resonant tuning as it is called by humming along with a chorus of such sounds that are contained on the gateway tape following this the participant is exposed to the gateway
affirmation and is encouraged to repeat it to himself as he hears it repeated on the tape this affirmation is a statement to the effect that the individual realizes that he is More than merely a physical body and that he deeply desires to expand his consciousness 29 hemisink introduced after that he is exposed for the first time to the hemisink sound frequencies and is encouraged to focus on and develop a perception of and appreciation for those feelings which accompany the synchronization of brainwaves that result Next comes the technique of progressive and systematic physical relaxation while the
hemisync frequencies are expanded to include additional forms of pink and white noise designed to put the physical body at the virtual threshold of sleep as well as to calm the left hemisphere of the mind while raising the right hemisphere to a state of heightened attentiveness once all of this is achieved the participant is invited to envisage the Creation of an energy balloon comprised of an energy flow beginning at the center of the top of the head and extending down in all directions to the feet the energy involved in this flow then proceeds up through the
body and back out into the balloon pattern again the energy balloon which sets up a pattern very reminiscent of the cosmic egg discussed earlier not only enhances bodily energy flow and encourages the early achievement of a suitable resonant State but is also designed to provide protection against conscious entities possessing lower energy levels which the participant might encounter in the event that he achieves an out of body state it serves as a precautionary purpose in the unlikely event that the participant's first out of body experience involves direct projection outside the terrestrial sphere 30 advanced techniques Having
reached focus 10 the participant is now ready to endeavor to achieve a state of sufficiently expanded awareness to begin actually interacting with dimensions beyond those associated with his experience of physical reality this state is called focus 12 and involves conscious efforts on his part while additional forms of pink and white noise enter the sound stream being directed into his ears from the gateway tape once the participant has achieved This state of greatly expanded awareness he is ready to begin employing a series of specific techniques or tools as the monroe institute characterizes them which enable him
to manipulate his newly found expanded awareness to obtain practical useful feedback of value for promoting self-discovery and personal growth the specific techniques involved are described individually below a problem solving this technique involves Identifying fundamental problems which the individual wishes to see solved filling his expanded awareness with his perception of these problems and then projecting them out into the universe in this way the individual enlists the assistance of what monroe institute calls his higher self in other words his expanded consciousness to interact with the universal hologram to obtain the information required to solve the problem this
approach may be used to Solve personal difficulties technical problems in the realm of physics mathematics practical administrative problems and so on responses to the problem solving technique may be received almost immediately but often they come based on developing intuition over the next two to three days frequently the response comes in the form of a sudden holistic perception in which the individual suddenly finds that he simply knows the answer in all of its Ramifications and completely in context sometimes without even being able to put his newly found perception into words at least initially in some cases
the response may even arrive in the form of visual symbols which the individual will see with his mind while he is in the focus 12 state and which he will have to interpret after he returns to normal consciousness b patterning This technique involves the use of consciousness to achieve desired objectives in the physical emotional or intellectual sphere it involves concentration on the desired objective while in a focus 12 state an extension of the individual's perception of that objective into the whole expanded consciousness and its projection into the universe with the intention that the desired objective
is already a matter of established achievement which is Destined to be realized within the time frame specified this particular methodology is based on the belief that the thought patterns generated by our consciousness in a state of expanded awareness create holograms which represent the situation we desire to bring about and in doing so establish the basis for the actual realization of that goal once the thought-generated hologram of the sought-after objective is established in the universe it Becomes an aspect of reality which interacts with the universal hologram to bring about the desired objective which might not under
other circumstances ever occur in other words the technique of patterning recognizes the fact that since consciousness is the source of all reality our thoughts have the power to influence the development of reality in time space as it applies to us if those thoughts can be projected with adequate Intensity however the more complicated the objective sought and the more radically it departs from our current reality the more time the universal hologram will need to reorient our reality sphere to accommodate our desires monroe trainers caution against attempting to force the pace of this process because the individual
could succeed in dislocating his existing reality with drastic consequences c Color breathing the next technique is called color breathing and is designed to use the expanded awareness and highly focused attentiveness associated with the focus 12 state to imagine various colors in a particularly intense and vivid manner so as to use them to resonate with and in turn to activate the body's own energies fundamentally in terms of practical application it is a healing technique which is designed to restore the body And to enhance its physical capabilities by balancing revitalizing and returning bodily energy flows it is
predicated on the principle that the body's electromagnetic field is capable of altering its resonance pattern so as to entrain energy from the earth's electrostatic field for its own use the various colors envisaged in the imagination as part of the technique cue the mind as to which frequencies and what specific amplitudes are desired in Connection with this entrainment and the subsequent alterations in bodily energy flow patterns that color has the capacity to affect the human mind is well known and the effectuality of color in certain kinds of healing is a demonstrable fact for example the application
of intense blue light to an area of physical tumescence leads to a relatively rapid and easily observable reduction in the swelling while red and to a lesser extent yellow has quite the Opposite effect however in the hemisink application of the technique external light sources are not involved rather the mind is the sole agent of healing and revitalization d energy bar tool magic wands and enchanted scepters have been part of the folklore and occult practices of many cultures the scepters staffs and maces carried by monarchs and high priests alike occur with such Frequency in the history
of bygone eras as to suggest that at the very least these items are aspects of some type of archetypical symbol which the human mind seems to appreciate perhaps subliminally in any case the energy bar tool technique involves envisaging a small intensely pulsating dot of light which the participant charges in his imagination with enormous energy until it is virtually pulsating the participant then extrudes the dot into The shape of a sparkling vibrating cylinder of energy which he then uses to channel force from the universe to selected parts of his body for purposes of healing and revitalization
e remote viewing in addition the energy bar tool is used as a portal for initiating a follow-on technique called remote viewing in this context the participant turns his bar of Energy into a whirling vortex through which he sends his imagination in search of new and illuminating insights the apparent purpose of the symbolism involved in the vortex seems to be to cue the subconscious and to convey its instructions as to what the participant wishes to do but in terms of nonverbal symbols which the right hemisphere of the mind is capable of understanding f living body map
This technique provides amplification for the application of the energy bar tool as a means of healing specific areas or systems of the human body the configuration of the participant's body is imagined and then the various major systems such as the nervous circulatory systems are envisaged inappropriate colors within the confines of the outline being held in the imagination the energy bar tool is then applied to energize balance and heal in whatever Manner the participant desires in the process the participant visualizes various streams of colored energy flowing out of the tool into the organ system or area
upon which the revitalizing or healing application is being made since colors are the results of different wavelengths of light which is to save energy at various frequencies this technique operates on the assumption that as the human body is composed of energy it can be vitalized And healed through the additive application of additional energy provided that the energy is applied in the appropriate form g focus 15 travel into the past all of the preceding techniques are conducted at the level of expanded awareness known as focus 12 however the technique of time travel into the past involves
a further expansion of Consciousness through the inclusion of additional levels of sound on the hemisink tapes some of the sounds are probably merely an intensification of the basic hemisync frequencies being designed to further modify brainwave frequency and amplitude other aspects of the added sound patterns appear to be designed to provide subtle almost subliminal suggestions to the mind as to what is desired by way of further expanded consciousness so as to support The verbal suggestions and instructions also contained on the tape even the instructions are highly symbolic with time being visualized as a huge wheel in
the universe with various spokes each of which gives access to a different part of the participant's past focus 15 is a very advanced state and is extremely difficult to achieve probably less than 5 percent of all participants in any given gateway experience actually fully achieved the focus 15 state during the Course of the approximately seven days of training nonetheless monroe institute trainers affirmed that with enough practice eventually focus 15 can be achieved they also state that not only the individual's past history is available for examination by one who has achieved focus 15 but other aspects
of the past with which the individual himself has had no connection may also be accessed h Focus 21 the future the last and most advanced of all the focus states associated with the gateway training program involves movement outside of the boundaries of time space as in focus 15 but with attention to discovering the future rather than the past the individual who has achieved this state has reached a truly advanced level except in unusual circumstances It is probably not attainable except by those who have conditioned themselves through long application of meditation or by those who have
practiced long and hard through the use of the hemisink tapes for a period of months if not years 31 the out of body movement this remarkable phenomenon has been saved for discussion in detail until last because of the interest in which it Occasions and special circumstances involved in its attainment monroe institute stresses that the gateway program was not established solely for the purpose of enabling participants to obtain the out-of-body state nor does the program guarantee that most participants will succeed in doing it during the course of the training at the institute only one tape out
of the many which make up the gateway experience is devoted to the techniques involved in The out-of-body movement basically these techniques are merely designed to make it easier for the individual to achieve the out-of-body state when his brainwave pattern and personal energy levels have reached a point that he is in apparent harmony with his surrounding electromagnetic environment such that he feels that he has reached the threshold where separation is a possibility to facilitate achieving the out-of-body state bob monroe the founder of monroe Institute is quoted in a recent magazine article as saying that in order
to assist the participant the particular hemisink tape concerned with that technique employs beta signals of around 2877.3 cps or cycles per second since 30 to 40 cps is considered to be the normal range for beta brainwave signals those associated with the wakeful state it is apparent that the monroe institute is convinced that the Same heightened state of brainwave frequency output which promotes altered states of consciousness is also an important consideration in assisting in the achievement of out-of-body states the actual techniques employed for separating from the body involve such simple maneuvers as rolling out lifting out
after the fashion of a telephone pole wherein the individual separates in a rigid head first manner such that he finds himself standing at a tension at The foot of his physical body and sliding out through either end of his body 32 roll of rem sleep it is interesting to note that bob monroe informed the gateway class that finished on the 7th of may 1983 that an ex-trainer of his operating in charlottesville virginia found that he could guarantee out-of-body movements by bringing participants down into a rapid Eye movement rem state of sleep and then use the
hemisink tape technique this may well be a function of the fact that most if not all people reputedly go into an out-of-body state during rem sleep rem sleep is the deepest possible level of ordinary sleep and involves complete disengagement of the body's motor cortex functions from the neck down and nearly complete the suppression of consciousness in the left brain hemisphere the effect of this is to put The body in a state of complete stillness so far as the skeletal muscle structure is concerned thereby further promoting the state of deep rest needed to eliminate the bifurcation
echo in addition it leaves the right hemisphere of the brain free to respond to the instructions and suggestions contained on the gateway tape however the use of the hemisink tapes at this point may be less a factor in actually achieving the out-of-body state then it is a matter of Focusing the brain enough so that a residual memory of having naturally achieved an out-of-body state is carried into the waking state indeed it may even be postulated that some dreams associated with deep levels of sleep are in fact functions of the same kind of altered consciousness involved
in interaction with the universe that plays a role in all of the focus 12 15 and 21 states described above the difference between those states and the condition Of the mind in rem sleep seems to be that the left hemisphere is almost totally disengaged in the latter experience such that memory of what was achieved in the altered states of consciousness cannot usually be retrieved by conscious desire because the left hemisphere has no knowledge of its existence or its location in the right hemisphere admittedly some people can be trained to remember their rem state dreams through
intense Conditioning in the waking state but even that may be more a function of establishing pathways in the right hemisphere which the left hemisphere can access the following reentry into the wakeful state then it is any indication of any specific left hemisphere conscious involvement in the process during rem sleep in any events the three apparent conditions required for voluntarily inducing an out-of-body state in most individuals seem to be One achievement of a state of profound quiet in the body such that the bifurcation echo fades and resonance at approximately seven hertz is established two synchronization of
the two brain hemisphere wave patterns and three subsequent stimulation of the right hemisphere of the mind to attain a state of heightened alertness which of course interferes with brain hemisphere synchronization but not until a sufficient level of enhanced frequency Range has first been established to help achieve the out-of-body state 33 information collection potential the information acquisition potential associated with the out-of-body state seems to attract the most attention from the standpoint of developing practical applications for the gateway technique unfortunately although the out-of-body state can apparently be achieved by many people without excessive expenditure of Time or
effort the purposes to which it can be put are currently limited by the fact that although individuals in that state may travel anywhere on an instantaneous basis in either the terrestrial or in other spheres information distortion in the former context remains a major concern to date according to one of the trainers at monroe institute numerous experiments have been conducted involving persons moving from one coast to the other in The out-of-body state to read a series of 10 computer-generated numbers in a university laboratory although most have acquired enough of the digits to make clear that their
consciousness was present none have ever succeeded in getting all 10 correct this seems to be a function of the fact that physical reality in the present is not the only holographic influence which the individual may encounter in an out-of-body state there are also energy Patterns left by people or events occurring at the same physical site being viewed but from the past rather than the present in addition since thoughts are the product of energy patterns and energy patterns are a reality it may also be possible that individuals encounter thought forms while in and out of body
state which mingle with physical reality and are not easily differentiated finally as melissa jager writes there is another potential Problem area in the sense that holograms can be viewed pseudoscopically that is to say inside out or backward just as well as they can be seen in proper perspective some of the distortions occurring may ultimately prove to be traceable to this cause because in the out-of-body state an individual may perceive the holographic energy patterns given off by people or things interacting in time-space reality in a somewhat distorted form 34 belief system considerations in 1967 alexandra david
neal and lama yongden wrote a book entitled secret oral teachings in tibetan buddhist sex from which the following quote is taken the tangible world is movement say the masters not a collection of moving objects but movement itself there are no objects in movement it is the movement which constitutes the objects which appear to us they are nothing but movement this movement is a continued And infinitely rapid succession of flashes of energy in tibetan sal all objects perceptible to our senses all phenomena of whatever kind and whatever aspect they may assume are constituted by a rapid
succession of instantaneous events the classic description of the universal hologram is to be found in a hindu sutra which says in the heaven of indra there is said to be a network of pearls so arranged that if you look at one you see all the Others reflected in it i have cited this quotation because it shows that the concept of the universe which at least some physicists are now coming to accept is identical in its essential aspects with the one known to the learned elite in selected civilizations and cultures of high attainment in the ancient
world the concept of the cosmic egg for example is well known to scholars familiar with the ancient writings of eastern religions Nor are the theories presented in this paper at variance with the essential tenets of the judeo-christian stream of thought the concept of visible reality i.e the created world as being an emanation of an omnipotent and omniscient divinity who is completely unknowable in his primary state of being the absolute at rest in infinity is a concept straight out of hebrew mystical philosophy even the christian concept of the trinity shines through the Description of the absolute
as presented in this paper the description of energy totally at rest in infinity fits the christian metaphysical concept of the father with the infinite self-consciousness resident in that energy providing the motive force of will to bring a portion of that energy into motion to create reality corresponds with the sun this is so because in order to attain self-consciousness the consciousness of The absolute must project a hologram of itself and then perceive it that hologram is a mirror image of the absolute in infinity still exists outside time and space but is one step removed from the
absolute and is the actual agent of all creation all reality 37 motivational aspect it is a step-by-step procedure which involves repetitive practice of the techniques concerned using each new Insight as a means of penetrating further during the next practice session but the rate of progress is so much faster with the gateway approach than it is with transcendental meditation or other forms of mental self-discipline and its horizons seem to be so much wider than the discipline needed to practice it would seem to be within the means of even the impatient results-oriented skeptical pragmatist of our society
Unlike yoga and other forms of eastern mental discipline gateway does not require infinite patience and total personal subservience to and faith in a system of discipline designed to absorb all the individual's energy over most of a lifetime rather it will begin to produce at least minimal results within a relatively short time such that enough feedback is available to motivate and energize the individual to continue working with it indeed the speed with Which an individual may expect to progress seems less a function of the number of hours spent practicing than it is a question of the
speed with which he or she is able to use the insights gained to release anxieties and stresses within both the mind and the body these points of energy blockage seem to provide the principal barriers to achieving the enhanced energy states and focus of mind needed for rapid progression the more compulsive the more Uptight the individual may be at the outset the more barriers he or she will initially encounter to achieving a deep or immediate experience but as the insights begin to come and the blockages begin to dissolve the way ahead becomes increasingly clear and the
value of gateway moves from the status of a matter of intellectual assessment to one of personal experience 38 conclusion There is a sound rational basis in terms of physical science parameters for considering gateway to be plausible in terms of its essential objectives institutional insights of not only personal but of a practical and professional nature would seem to be within bounds of reasonable expectations however a phased approach for entering the gateway experience in an accelerated mode would seem to be required if the time needed to reach advanced states of Altered consciousness is to be brought within
more manageable limits from the standpoint of establishing organization-wide exploitation of gateway's potential the most promising approach suggested in the foregoing study involves the following steps a begin by using the gateway hemisync tapes to achieve enhanced brain focus and to induce hemispheric synchronization B then add strong rem sleep frequencies to induce left brain quiescence and deep physical relaxation c provide hypnotic suggestions designed to enable an individual to induce a deep autohypnotic state at will d use autohypnotic suggestions to attain much enhanced focus of concentration and motivation in rapidly progressing Through focus 12 exercises e then repeats
steps a and b following the use of the autohypnotic suggestion that an out-of-body movement will occur and be remembered f repeat step e to achieve facility in gaining an out-of-body state under conscious control alter hypnotic suggestions to stress the ability to consciously control out-of-body movement and maintain it even after the rem sleep State ends g approach focus 15 and 21 objectives escape from time space and interact with new dimensions from the out-of-body perspective h use a multi-focus approach to solve the problem of distortion in terrestrial information gathering trips this approach involves the use of three
individuals in the out of body state one viewing the target objective here in Time space one viewing it at focus 15 as it slips into the immediate past and one viewing it at focus 21 as it slips from the immediate future debrief all three and compared data gathered from the three points of view if care is taken to ensure that the three all go out of body together in the same environment their consciousness energy systems should resonate in sympathetic oscillation they can tune into the same target on different planes dimensions with greater Effectiveness i encourage
the pursuit of full self knowledge by all individuals involved in the foregoing experiments to enhance objectivity in out-of-body observation and thinking and to remove personal energy blockages likely to rapid progress j be intellectually prepared to react to possible encounters with intelligent non-corporeal energy forms when time Space boundaries are exceeded k arranged to have groups of people in focus 12 state unite their altered consciousness to build holographic patterns around sensitive areas to repulse possible unwanted out-of-body presences l encourage more advanced gateway participants to build holographic patterns of successful attainment and Rapid progress for advanced colleagues to
assist them in progressing through the gateway system if these experiments are carried through it is to be hoped that we will truly find a gateway to gateway and to the realm of practical application for the whole system of techniques which comprise it you
