MEMORANDUM FOR MG STUBBLEBINE
23 August 1983
SUBJECT: The Monroe Institute of Applied Science (M.I.A.S.)
Seminar (U)
WHAT IS THE M.I.A.S. SEMINAR?
The Mark V program at M.I.A.S., is the latest improvement over
the original "Gateway" experience. This experience is intended
to expand mans consciousness and broaden his perception of
reality. This is accomplished through a patented technology
which synchronizes right/left brain interaction and produces
peak amplitude within the optimum brain wave activity areas.
This allows thought while in higher order brain wave states;
conducive to original thought and/or holistic idea formulation.
HOW DOES THIS SEMINAR OPERATE?
Six days of intensive tape exercises; with each tape followed by
a discussion relevant to the experience. This can range from
personal (emotional), to group (intellectual) in nature.
Approximate one-two hour discussion periods with Mr. Robert
Monroe are presented in the adjoining David Francis Hall.
Topics covered are generally philosophic in nature.
Various films and tapes are presented following the above talks
which are designed to enhance the overall experience.
Talks are also given by other M.I.A.S. personnel, with direct
reference to the professional/medical association, New Land
concept(s), and may include a tour of the newly constructed
M.I.A.S. experimental lab.
One-on-one sessions between participants and the trained seminar
counsellor also takes place as/or when necessary.
WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED?
Intellectual horizons will be broadened and new concepts of
perception are unavoidable.

Light and heavy emotion packed responses will result from the
intensive tape experience.
The experience can be expected to alter the participants
personality with regard to interpersonal relationships.
WHAT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD PRIOR TO ATTENDANCE?
While Out-of-Body-Experiences (OBE) are known to spontaneously
occur as a result of the technology utilized, this is not the
purpose of the seminar.
Personal value derived is completely dependent on degree of
participation or effort which one puts into the experience.
M.I.A.S. does not "push" a specific philosophic, spiritual, or
intellectual. position on anyone. They do try to open the human
concept of experience and consciousness.
Prior to attending the seminar, practice tapes were provided in
order to assist the participant in quick adaptation to training
techniques. Not using these prior to participation can directly
affect the outcome experienced by the participant, due to
reduced sensitivity.
The Group identity will have a direct result on the
effectiveness of the experience. In this case because of the
all "military minded" group, unless participants across the
board are willing, and urged to divest themselves of peer
pressure, rank consciousness, ego based self protectiveness,
etc., the experience of the whole will be severely diluted.
RECOMMEND
Have no expectations other than to be "Open" minded.
Give and participate 100%.
Enjoy the experience more as a fun or human thing to do, versus
work oriented.
Dress in shorts and tee shirt, and carry along a bathing suit.
Fasting during the seminar, or conscious control of the amount
of food intake has been known to enhance the experience.

Prepare to spend free time in a physical exercise (e.g.,
jogging, swimming, hiking, etc.). This will assist in
"grounding" the participant which in turn greatly enhances the
experience.
CAUTION
Not all of the people who reside on the property, or those
who frequent or visit the center are friendly to the U. S.
Government or Army. Some can be particularly caustic with
regard towards "Intelligence" type personnel involvement with
M.I.A.S. During my most recent visit it was clearly established
by personnel (other than M.I.A.S. Employees) that they were very
much aware the U. S. Army, specifically U. S. Army Intelligence
personnel., were coming to attend a seminar.
