Vol. 1, No. 1 pro r e 2 0: D -0 R 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 Continued on page 3 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. Robert A. Monroe, Executive Director 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 Continued on page 4 "best audio tapes they've heard ..." 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 Wearing headphones i a ar ened we as extensive passive visua imagery, lecture room, and leaning forward with Continued on page 3 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. Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences P.O. Box 57 Afton, Virginia 22920 (703) 456-8166 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 Continued on page 2 THE EXPLORER The Explorer is published bi-monthly by the Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences.

TH E KeT4 !10 /WAPT(]FA-RDP96-00788R0 "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." Les Smith 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.

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." Marie-Francoise Guedon Vancouver, B.C.

However, some of the "opening" experiences in the Gateway Program follow Marie's pattern. Weekend session. 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.

Twemlow, M.D. 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.

The Monroe Tapes had "real implications for personal development," he said, and noted that other participants reported that they were "a good method for teaching relaxation ... a beautiful use of sound levels ... used verbal conditioning very well ... and ... a lot of fun." The demonstration came at the request of Wilson Learning Chairman, Larry Wilson. WLC is the second largest com- pany in the U.S. producing corporate training programs. Juechter concluded his report on the Tapes by saying that "speaking for myself-I can only say that I had a totally enjoyable experience, got in touch with some things that I think are really very important in my life (or could be), and am extremely curious about participating further in your approach."

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 the uncovering of numerous defenses and con- fli t hi h h d b i h c s w c a een n ibiting the growth of tions about providing its training services. t nrid~1ividu ~h~~[[t~ 1 f o a form of consciousness eT sin;*DI> l39Rkc -RMa U7(S$ !~i tf fllah'9fas *een commonly seen in gram is scheduled to begin operations on people exploring alterations in consciousness May 1st of this year. for their own personal growth." tv3f?ITiDC, la nii" 111 IVA%JI r INSTITUTE porous or R iJ %%k20f0 ))fO : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210062-4 The Institute derives its support MAGICAL CHILD by Joseph Chilton Pearce.

Gladman Dr. Arthur E. Gladman of the Gladman Psychosomatic Medicine Center in Berkeley has been authorized to use the Monroe Frequency Following Response Tapes as part of the Center's program for the treatment of chronic psychosomatic illness. Norma Estrada and I started using biofeedback combined with Autogenic Training and other relaxation and visual- ization techniques in clinical practice in 1972. In January, 1976, the Monroe Tapes were introduced to selected individuals to facilitate focusing of attention on the body. Patients coming to the Center first achieve deep relaxation by mastering hand- warming, striate muscle relaxation and the production of predominantly alpha brain- waves. Many adjunctive strategies are offered that relate to the specific psycho- BULLETIN BOARD somatic complaints of the individuals being treated. Later in the biofeedback training, the Monroe Tapes are useful in helping to achieve a quiet mind (meditative) state, characterized by the production of bilateral balanced low alpha frequencies. 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 treament of arthritic joints, various types of injury and both benign and malignant tumors. Our experience in the use of biofeed- back and the Tapes in the treatment of illness and enabled us to make observations that strongly suggest that these modalities could be usefully combined as tools for personal development and for the promotion of emotional and physical wellness in people who are already healthy.
