Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1700270005-1 IL a rX a M.I.A.Z03, BULLET11M A COMMUNICATION FROM THE MONROE INSTITUTE OF AKILIED SCIENC ES THE GATEWAY PROGIWI #GW22280 PURPOSE: Gateway is dedicated to the development and exploration of iinian consciousness. It is a system of exercises designed to aid tile individual in the inprovement of his own consciousness, so that lie may k:t--iow and understand better his higher self', that lie may learn and ex- perience profound areas of expanded awareness, achieve and willfully control his physical body and the out-of-body state, cormnunicate with and visit other energy structu.res and realities. 111STORY: Originally the M-5000 Research Project. The present Gateway Fr_o-c___r_a'_m_ is the result of over 3,000 test exercises involving 1,932 par-- Licipants, conducted by the Institut-e over the.past tell years. -Assist-, iriq in the develop,.Tient of" the Program have been researchers in many disciplines from various parts of the Country. Rep<-,)rts from participants are available in other Institute Bulletins. Many indicate significant, c(_-)nstructive changes in life attitudes and overvie-w. TECHNOLOGY! The basics of the Gateway training process are the Frequency (FFR) and Hemispheric Synchronization (HE;t.11SYNC), created in the electrical patterns of the brain by the induction of spe- Cific sound pulses both singly and binaurally into the human auditory s-stem. Robert Monroe was granted a generic patent for this method and ti.7@cllnique in 1975, and assigned it to the Institute. By blending and se,quencing such sound pulses, it. is possible to aid the individual@ to dt:@!velop states of consciousnesS not ordinarily available to him. Evidence oL Lhis is shown in bilateral EIEG studies which indicate the generation ol high-amplitude narrow- f requ,,-ancy wave forms sweeping throuqhoLlt tile Cortex in direct consequence of such audio signals. P'.U@CTICAL APPLICATION: The typical Gateway session consists of a series of conducted pre-recorded exercises utilizing both FFR,, HEMISYNC, and vocal guidance to achieve progressive states of conscious nes's. These are heard through stereo headphones while in a relaxed position, 11nder the supervision of Institute trainers and technicians. Reinf orcement of- feedback learning of such states is enhanc@ed by lectures, discuss- i.ons, and single interviews using standard accelerated learning tech- niques. Goals are achievement of Focus 3, (Basic HEMISSYNC), Focus 10 (NI-i rid awake - body asleep) , Focus 12, (Expanded awareness) , Focus 15, (No-tirric), and Focus 21, (OTHER ENERGY SYSTEMS). ."TRUCTURE: Gateway Sessions are held in these formats at various lo- cations throughout the country. 1-'X,CURSI0N: An introduction and experiental one-day, from 9:00 hM to Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1700270005-1 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1700270005-1 PISCOVERY: Develol5ment of primary Gateway states with emphasis on learn- ing to self-direct and control consciousness in entry and return,, L(:)n,g ,deekend, Thursday night through Sunday noon, room and meals provided.
