MONROE INSTITUTE INTRODUCES
GATEWAY PROGRAM
Enthusiastic Response from
Participants
TEN DAY SESSION LEADS
TO PERMANENT PROGRAM
The first Ten-Day Explorations session
of the Institute's Gateway Program was so
effective that by March nearly half of the
original group had requested reservations
for the next Explorations session, to be
held in Montana September 8-17.
At the Feathered Pipe Ranch near
Helena, Montana last September, 56
people from all walks of life spent 10 days
exploring the farther reaches of the Gate-
way Program. This was the first time that
the Institute had conducted any training
session longer than the typical Weekend
session.
A major finding from this first Ten-Day
session was that the longer format was
more efficient and productive than all the
shorter formats combined. This was due in
part to the setting and the environment
created. A vacation feel surrounded the
session. After four days the habits and
problems of daily life faded into the back-
ground-making way for intensive

Fellow Explorers,
We are sending you this Newsletter
because you have shown interest in
serious investigation of the mind. At the
Monroe Institute, we have discovered and
are refining a technique that offers a signifi-
cant contribution to the study of
consciousness and to the art of conscious-
ness expansion. Your comments and
participation are invited.

NEG IONS AND
EXPLORATION
The Monroe Institute has conducted
Gateway training groups where, unknown
to the participants, negative air-ion envi-
ronment was present during some
exercises in Focus 10 and absent during
others. The participants' subjective reports
about their success in the attainment,
depth and maintenance of Focus 10
correlated highly with the presence of the
negative air-ion atmosphere. Also, at the
Institute's laboratory, the explorers report
that the negative air-ion environment is

MANAGEMENT TRAINING ORGANIZATIONS RE-
QUESTING MONROE TAPES
Higher levels of creativity in business
produce growth, efficiency, and better
leadership latest personnel studies
indicate. For these and other probable
benefits, a growing number of manage-
ment training organizations are requesting
demonstrations of the Monroe Tapes. The
two most recent demonstrations, both well
received, were given to the Wilson
Learning Corporation in Eden Prairie,
Minnesota, and at the General Electric
Executive Training facility at Crotonville,
New York.
At the invitation of Ned Herrmann,
Manager of General Electric's Manage-
ment Education Operation, an Institute
team demonstrated the effects of the
Monroe Tapes upon brain synchronization
to some 45 executives attending a
symposium at the G.E. ij~'dY1~el~ef1~$19~4'lIl'OfiA~/~8

their heads resting on tables in front of the
chairs, the participants experienced easily
the primary Gateway effects so common
among users of the system in other
modalities. To illustrate the effect more
vividly, bi-lateral EEG equipment was
utilized on several subjects with the
hemispheric synchronization displayed on
a dual-trace oscilliscope and through
computer-matched signals on strip chart
recordings. This portion of the test was
under the supervision of Dr. Todd
Mikuriya, research psychiatrist from
Berkeley, Calif.
Time distortion was evident throughout
the group. During the debriefing, not one
believed the demonstration time to be
more than 15 minutes, with the average
estimate between 7 and 8 minutes. The
actual length in real time was 45 minutes.

New Program designed to instruct and
train individuals at own pace in art of
consciousness expansion.
After several years of research and
development, the Institute is now ready to
announce the Gateway Program, a
sequential and multi-level program in the
arts of consciousness expansion and
personal development. Listening to a
progressive series of Monroe Tapes
through stereo headphones, the partici-
pants first enter into a state of profound
relaxation approaching the level of lucid
dreams, a state the Institute calls "Focus
10." From this state, the participants
"expand" into another perceptual state,
"Focus 12," marked by a high energy
similar to the energy in high dreams. Most
participants in Focus 12 report a much
clearer communication with interior
sources, knowings, and what appear to be
personal guides. Beyond this is "Focus
15," a timeless state.
The major dynamic of the Monroe
Tapes consists of the interaction of
complex audio patterns between the left
and right ears. Though nearly all the
patterns have been recorded at a sub-
threshold level, they induce a frequency
following response in the brain. Certain
dynamic audio patterns coax the brain into
physical states that generate excellent
subjective environments for interior
explorations.
To make the Gateway Program con-
venient, effective, and supportive, the
Institute has divided it into the following
sessions:
The Excursion. From mid-morning
through late afternoon of one day, the par-
ticipant learns, through a series of Monroe
Tapes, to let his body go to sleep while
he keeps his mind awake. Almost all of the
participants in this stage of the Program
report that they reach more profound
levels of relaxation than they remember
ever having reached before. Returning
home, the participant uses a Focus 10
Workbook and a reinforcement tape to
deepen the state and then to learn how to
practice without the reinforcement tape.
When he has completed successfully a

"Since the Workshop in Newport Beach my attitude toward my life has changed. Whereas
before the Workshop I was a steady drinker; I cannot remember the day when I did not
take at least two drinks, and generally more. Also I had been a more or less regular
marijuana smoker for some thirty years. And I had got into the habit of watching the tube
on a regular basis. Now I have no interest at all in alcohol, marijuana or TV. It's not that I've
put them down morally; it's just that I have no interest in them. Those close to me are
dumbfounded."

Mill Valley, CA
Comment:
Most participants do report a change in physical habits after encountering Focus 10 and
Focus 12, though few make such a clean sweep as Les Smith. From our observation, an
interior source sets up priorities on the path to physical and mental health, a source that is
triggered by the deep relaxation and the attention to interior direction.

John's experience reverses the usual pattern. More participants receive the visual
symbols before the vocal. Many others learn the rudiments of this interior communication
not through visual or vocal symbols but through a clear inner knowing. No matter how it
comes, these interior sources often delight us and play with us-with a purpose.
"[In Focus 12, I] go through void and `silence' then `live' space. Get fuzzy answers,
sluggish, slow. I struggle with weight. I challenge whoever, whatever is me or is here to
answer, to show as much strength, beauty, color, as the waves on the beach or the
Schubert melodies. No answer. I struggle, then surrender. Top of my head starts tingling; a
knot is formed there, then the sound merges with lightness and starts `drilling' into the top
of my skull. The top of my head blows off, light pours in(?), out(?). I am a hollow tube; all
seven chakras-I know where they are now!-are widly pulsing at the same time, opening,
exploding, the full feast. I stay there, re-issuing the challenge; the feast goes on. I will wait
for `it' to show a bit of itself. Meanwhile, I may have some real answers to my demand for
images, please. And I do get answers (ironic and gentle, just a bit on the fun, witty side) and
challenge, and play and I don't lose. Five days later I feel different, physically, although it is
hard to remember how it was `before.' But the sensation of being `opened' is still here."

As an ethnologist, Marie has studied Shamanism in Indian villages of northern Canada.
She was not especially beholden to the chakra-Kundalini model of psychophysiology, nor
are we. However, some of the "opening" experiences in the Gateway Program follow
Marie's pattern.

Explorer 12. From early in the morning
to late in the evening of one day, graduates
of the Weekend learn to add more control
and stability to the Focus 12 perceptual
state.
The Advanced 15 is for the participant
when he feels that he has enough control
and stability in Focus 12 to generate and
support a stronger energy system. The
session begins Friday evening and con-
tinues through Sunday noon with the same
setting and requirements as the Weekend.
The Ten-Day Explorations. This
session begins on a Friday evening and
continues through the following week to
Sunday noon. At a more leisurely pace
than the one, two and three day sessions,
the participants learn to enter and use
Focus 10, Focus 12, and Focus 15. The
Institute has found this longer format to be
more efficient and productive than all the
others combined. This is due in part to the
set and setting. First, a vacation feel sur-

Note: Stu Twemlow is a research psychiatrist interested in intensive meditation
and out-of-body experience. For the past few years he has used the Monroe
recordings in a clinical setting. Last year, he participated as a staff member in the
Montana Ten-Day session. Currently, he is developing a research methodology for
investigating out-of-body experience. His "Research Notes" is a continuing feature of
The Explorer.
Brain-Wave Studies
In our studies of the effect of the Monroe Tape system on brain waves, 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." This
focusing of energy is not unlike the yoga concept of one pointedness, which we may
translate in Western terms as single-mindedness. As Focus 10 counts down, there is a
gradual increase in brain-wave size, which is a measure of brain energy or power.
Although the significance of this is not yet clear, it could be speculated that the tape
system encourages the recruitment of neurons in the brain to focus their attention on
a single task, thus perhaps increasing the efficiency of mastering a task, whether that
be to reduce tension on the muscles, to improve sleeping, or even to get out of the
body.
OBE Questionaire
Together with Dr. Fowler Jones, we are in the process of conducting a study of the
types of people that have spontaneous out of the body experience. We are also
circulating a questionaire to approximately 1500 people who have had such
experiences or have an intense interest in out of the body states. If anyone is in-
terested in it and would be willing to answer it, please write to me in care of The
Explorer.
In response to our initial request, we have found that out of the body experiences
are quite common amongst young adolescent children, and in people who are in
confined settings, such as prisoners. It seems like people who have out of the body
experiences are what could be called, in psychological terms, stimulus seekers, or
danger seekers-people who like to have new experiences in their lives. They tend to
be more introspective, have a more visually oriented dream and imaging life, and seem
to be more independent and to be more self starting than other people. However, over
a period of the next few months, if we get a good response to the questionaire, we will
analyze the results and make them available to the participants and others.

changes in perception and self-image.
Stuart Twemlow, M.D., a research
psychiatrist and formerly chief of research
at the Veterans Administration Hospital in
Topeka, was on the staff. He reports:
"In the session we found that, amongst the
numerous effects on self esteem, intensive use
of the tapes over many days produced what
could be called a psi-conducive state with
numerous examples of a form of telepathic
sharing of mental experiences during the tape.
For example, two people who knew each other
very little, but who were in fact lying close to
each: one had the experience of being very
thirsty in a desert; the person next to him had a
similar image that the first individual was very
thirsty and decided he would image rain. He did
so, and the first person picked up the rain,
drank the water and had his thirst quenched.
This type of vignette is quite typical of the
shared experiences. It reminds one of the
studies of psi-conducive states by Stanley
Krippner and Montague Ullman in their book,
Dream Telepathy.
There were many pieces of evidence in the
workshop of subtle changes in thinking. For
example, tense and harrassed business men
became much more at peace with themselves
and, I think it would be fair to say, began to
think positively as opposed to negatively. One
such individual was so at peace with himself
that wild animals in the surrounding bushes felt
comfortable with him. In one case, a wild chip-
munk crawled up onto his shoulder. Such
people became able to see the growth aspects
of negative experiences and encouraged others
to focus on these rather than the destructive or
painful elements.
Many people seemed able to master, in their
own creative search, the symbolic forms of
imagery and to use symbolism to aid them in
their decision-making.
Kundalini power, a concept so important in
theoretical studies of meditation and explored
more particularly by Gopi Krisna, seemed to be
raised in a number of the participants in this
workshop, creating problems-problems
primarily related to a difficulty in channeling this
energy. When it could be channeled, it led to

Later in the biofeedback training, the
Monroe Tapes are useful in helping to

Anxiety and depressive states can be dealt
with effectively. Visualization of body parts
that require healing is greatly facilitated
and thus the tapes are very useful in the
