FIRST AFFIRMATION 
Say in your mind, say to yourself: 
I am more than my physical body. Because I am more than physical matter, I 
can perceive that which is greater than the Physical world. Therefore, in these 
exercises, I deeply desire to Expand, to Experience; to Know, to Understand, to 
Control, to Use such greater energies and energy systems as may be beneficial 
and constructive to me and to those who follow me. Also during these exercises, 
I deeply desire the help and cooperation, the assistance, the understanding of 
those individuals whose wisdom, development and experience is equal or greater 
than my own. I ask their guidance and protection from any influence or any 
source that might provide me with less than my stated desires. I now protect 
myself as may be needed from such influence and reject any source that may 
restrain me from my stated desires. 
SECOND AFFIRMATION 
I open this channel of communication only to those whose knowledge, 
wisdom, development and experience is equal or greater than my own. I 
restrict such contact and communication to constructive purpose, and reject 
all other. I open such channel only when I so consciously desire; at all 
other times, it will remain closed.

GATEWAY NOTES 
(You may want to refer to the following notes for your exercise sessions. 
Remember that these are but guidelines. We strongly encourage you to use 
your own ideas and ingenuity during your exercise sessions.) 
AS YOU START EACH EXERCISE 
1. Do your Resonant Breathing Exercise. Inhale deeply, pulling in energy 
from all parts of your physical body up to and then into your head. Hold your 
breath for a comfortable length of time (eventually holding it to the count of 10), 
swirling the energy around your brain. Then exhale slowly through your mouth as 
though you were slowly and easily blowing out a candle. At the same time imagine 
that you are expelling stale, used-up energy through the bottoms of your feet. 
After the first inhale-exhale, your brain is filled with the new, fresh energy. 
On the second inhale, bring the new, fresh energy to your upper chest and arms, 
and exhale the stale, used-up energy from the abdomen down. On the third, bring 
the new energy to the abdomen; on the fourth to the pelvic region; to the thighs 
and knees on the fifth; and on the sixth, to the lower legs and feet. It's as 
if we are filling an inverted jar full of new, fresh energy in six steps. 
2. Place all your problems and distractions in the Security Repository Box. 
3. Say the Affirmation while bringing back your strong desire to expand 
yourself and explore, know and understand, control and use the non-physical 
energies most beneficial for you and those around you. As in all affirmations, 
the words mean nothing without the feeling. 
TO REACH: FOCUS 10 FROM CONSCIOUSNESS NO. 1 (C-1) 
‘Relax deeply in lying down or sitting down position. Feel yourself 
drifting into deep relaxation. When you can drift down no more, say to 
yourself on an exhale, "two." Notice that you drift down a little more. If 
you do not, wait until you do. Then say "three," and so on until you reach 
"ten." "Ten" may not feel the same each time, or even feel that it is the same 
depth each time. If you are dissatisfied with the level of relaxation at your 
“ten," start again with “five" or even "two." Some find it helpful to associate 
the numbers with body parts and relax the body in an orderly sequence from head 
to foot or foot to head. Eventually, however, you will find this is unnecessary. 
TO RETURN TO C-1 FROM FOCUS 10 
Count slowly in your mind from 10 to 1. 
EMERGENCY RETURN TO C-1 
Think of any part of physical body, move that physical part (finger, 
foot, tongue, etc.)

TO CREATE ENERGY BAR TOOL (EBT) SSL REATE ENERGY BAR TOOL (EBT 
__ Visualize or think of a dot of light. Expand it into a bar, charging it 
with brilliant white energy. Practice working with it by giving it different 
bright colors, making it go on and off at different speeds. The purpose of the 
EBT is to stimulate and focus non-physical energies. :7 
TO CREATE AND USE LIVING BODY MAP (LBM) 
en 
Go to F-10, then create a silhouette in the form of the physical 
‘body in bright, white lines. Change the colors of the lines of the form to 
represent the following physical areas: 
Blue ~- nervous system 
Red - circulatory system 
Orange - muscle & bone structures 
Yellow - organs & glandular system 
White - composite of all systems in body 
After doing this, place the LBM over your body and in turn, look for any 
dim or flickering areas from the different systems. Charge these weak places 
with your EBT, using bright purple, healing energy. 
TO BALANCE, CLEANSE AND RECHARGE EMOTIONAL BODY MAP (EBM) 
(Located behind LBM, finer and thinner than LBM) Use br ght purple . 
energy from EBT to charge any parts which are dim and flickezing. Look for any 
parts which are unusually bright; use the EBT and its purp.e, healing, cleansing 
and recharging energy to equalize and balance, making the E)3M evenly bright, calm, 
strong and serene, — 	. 	: 
TO PERCEIVE DISTANT EVENTS AND PEOPLE (REMOTE VIGWING) 
MEE 	AN REMOTE VIEWING 
Go to F-10. Charge EBT with bright, fresh new energy. Place one end of 
EBT close to your center of consciousness. With that end still close to you, 
stretch your EBT out until the other end is at the person or event you wish to 
perceive. Then let the energy from the far end of your EBT flow through the bar | 
and into your conscious awareness. With practice, this becomes an excellent method 
for distant viewing and for sending messages to another person. 
TO'GET TO FOCUS 12 AND RETURN (AWARENESS EXPANSION) 
EERE 	SD BR APANSION 
When you have reached a stable and deep level of Focus 10, you will find 
yourself beginning to get the charged feeling of Focus 12. The mind becomes 
more awake, but in a different way. When you feel this beginning to happen, 
say "eleven." After ‘a while, as the feeling strengthens, say "twelve." You will 
notice that the state becomes stronger and stronger. The more you exercise, the 
stronger the state becomes. If you find that it does not naturally come 
out of Foucs 10, then you need to exercise the Focus 10 level more. Focus 10 is 
the key to the whole system. To return from Focus 12, simply put out the desire 
to come back and slowly count from twelve to ten and then from ten to one.

PROBLEM SOLVING, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 
In Counsciousness One, think of a specific problem or question. The more 
specific you are, the better. Then go to Focus 12, concentrate on the problem or 
question and your desire for an answer. Then release the concentration and notice 
visual images, words, sensations or thought forms that come. 
FOCUS 12 CLOCK EXERCISE (SPATIAL ORIENTATION) 
Go to F-12 and imagine a clock with your consciousness in its 
. center, the 3 to your right, 9 to the left, etc. Send your consciousness in the 
various direction indicated by the numbers of the face of the clock. Then, swivel 
the clock 90 degrees, so that the 3 is in front of you, the 9 behind you, etc. 
- Continue exploration, guiding again by the numbers on the clock. Observe closely 
what you perceive at each point. 
TO CREATE RESONANT ENERGY BALLOON (REBAL) 
Go to F-10 and inhale deeply, bringing Energy in and up from all parts of your 
body. Hold you breath for a fairly long but comfortable period (count of ten). Then 
exhale the Energy down to your toes, as though softly blowing out a candle. Breathe 
normally. Repeat process, and as you exhale each time, round the angle of the Energy 
more’ and more as you build your Energy Balloon. See and feel the Energy swirling 
around you'as you exhale down and around. (Do this about 8 - 10 times) Then, start 
‘the flow from right to left. Inhale, bringing Energy in from right; hold breath, 
then exhale slowly, flowing Energy to the left. Breathe normally. Each time let 
the Energy go rounder, forming a round ball - a protective floating ball. Perceive 
and observe the flowing Energy in your Resonant Energy Balloon all around you. It 
protects you and lets you float inside it. Now, inhaling in and out, expel Energy 
into all of the spaces in your Energy Balloon, filling it with bright light and also 
making it lighter, so that it floats easier and better. When you have finished 
using your REBAL, let it move inward, let it reabsorb itself into you. , 
SECOND STATE EXERCISES WITH YOUR REBAL 
Create KEBAL while in Focus 10. When the balloon has become very light, let 
it carry you. upward. You should not have to strain for this sensation. Nor do 
you have to think of it as taking you upward in this physical matter reality. It 
should take you upward naturally into a lighter, expanded state of being. Whether 
you want to float "upward" in a horizontal or vertical position inside the protective 
shields of the balloon is up to you. But let it carry you upward easily and naturally. 
After you float up.a short distance, stop and observe, perceive what is around you. 
Float downwards, back to where you began. Repeat this 4 more times, floating up to 
a higher point each time, always observing and perceiving. At the end of the exercise, 
come back to where you began, and let your REBAL move inward, meaeeoeneng.: back into 
your. self.

-FREEMOVEMENT EXERCISES ( TO LEAVE YOUR PHYSICAL BODY) — 
Create REBAL while in Focus 10. Then practice with the following 
exercises: (1) rolling out like a log rolling in water (2) Going up like a stiff 
pole (3) backing away fromm the body (4) going out the head like a gas (5) floating 
up above the physical body. Reabsorb REBAL when finished. 
TO MAKE DESIRED PATTERN CHANGES IN YOUR LIFE 
Go to Focus 12 and visualize, think about and experience the following: 
Think of and build carefully in your mind the pattern or position you desire. 
Release such though pattern and move it strongly out into all areas of your 
expanded awareness. Let it flow into the farthest points of such awareness. It 
will begin immediately to form and develop, and will continue to do so until it 
is a complete reality, provided such pattern is constructive and beneficial to 
the purpose of the total selves within such pattern or position. 
ENERGY BALANCE 
Go to Focus 10 and use bright, purple, healing energy from your 
EBT on your LBM and EBM, for healing, cleansing and recharging. After doing this, 
take your problems out of your repository box about which you can do something. 
Cleanse away any negative emotional energy from them by applying soothing, cool 
energy from your EBT. 
TO CONCLUDE EACH EXERCISE 
Take problems out of repository box, cleanse them of all excess 
and harmful emotional charge by using the calming, cleansing green 
energy from your EBT. Count back to C-1l. Sit up, stretch your arms 
and legs, breathe deeply several times, then slowly get up. Then 
immediately write down your. experiences in this workbook.

DAILY TOOLS 
(For use in your physical waking life) 
TO GO INTO NORMAL, NATURAL, RESTFUL SLEEP 
Lie down in a comfortable position, breathe deeply 5 times and 
count from 1 to 20. Before you reach the count of 20, you will go into a normal, 
restful sleep. 
TO REMEMBER 
To remember any part of your life experience, close your eyes, and touch 
softly the fingers of your right hand to the center of your forehead. When you 
ao this, you recall and remember immediately that which you consciously desire. 
TO REDUCE PAIN SIGNALS 
Look with your closed eyes at that part of your body which is the source 
of pain signals. As you look, repeat in your mind the number 55515. When you 
do these 2 things, the pain signals will slowly reduce until they are no longer 
important. 
TO REDUCE EMOTIONAL CHARGE 
Close your eyes, inhale deeply; hold breath for a moment, then 
think of the calming, cleansing color green. When you do this, exhale slowly, and 
the green energy will push all excess and harmful emotional charges down through ~ 
your physical system and out through the soles of your feet. 
TO CHARGE THE BODY FOR GREAT SPEED AND STRENGTH 
Close your eyes, inhale deeply, think of the physical act to 
be performed and the strong energy of red. As you exhale, open your eyes and 
perform the act you wish to accomplish. 
TO RECEIVE FRESH, NEW ENERGY FOR YOUR TOTAL SYSTEM 
Close your eyes, extend your physical hands outward, palms up, 
then inhale deeply and hold your breath for a moment. Think of radiant, pure white 
energy focused from above and centering down upon the palms of your hands, then 
flowing up through your arms and spreading throughout your total self. Exhale. 
TO BALANCE ANY PART OF BODY 
Close your eyes, inhale deeply, and hold breath for a moment. Think of the 
healing, cool energy of purple and look with your closed eyes at that part of your 
body which requires help. Send the flow of purple energy to it, saying in your mind 
to the part, "Heal, Balance." Then exhale and open eyes.

Purpose: To stimulate and focus non-physical energies. 
Method: While sitting or lying down, relax thoroughly, perhaps counting, 
to ten slowly in order to reach Focus 10, Then, no matter how vague it. 
seems, take your EBT from wherever you keep it, hold it close, and then 
tell yourself, “on," With this command, the bar lights up and becomes 
thicker iin your hands. Then say, “off.” The light goes off, and the bar 
becomes thinner. Do this very slowly for awhile. The tool probably 
should have a shape that makes it easy to hold, Some see it as a magic 
wand, others as a flourescent tube, still others as the tool out of 
"Star Wars.” ‘whutever shape appeals tc you is best. 
After turning it on and off slowly, say once every second or tKo with 
intense concentration, begin to speed it up slowly. If you find yourself 
breathing in time with the on's and off's, consciously disassociate the 
breathing from it. Also disassociate the words "on" and "off" from the 
process, Speed it up even more; hold the intense concentration. You 
will notice a subtle or not so subtle sensation in the solar plexus area 
pulsing in time with the on's and off's. When you can hold the consentra- 
tion on the EBT on's and off's enough to speed them up even more, up to a 
slow stroboscopic speed, do so, Later, take it up to a faster stroboscopic 
speed, but make sure you are definitely turning the EBT on and off, and 
that the sensation in the solar plexus, or perhaps all over the whole 
body, is in time with the on's and off's. 
Eventually you can get the on's and off's going so fast that the bar 
appears to be on continuously; and the sensation in the solar plexus is 
one of exciting, charged, electrical warmth. The whole bocy feels: more 
energized. This may be a subtle feeling at first, or quite strong. 
Achieving and maintaining this feeling while holding on to the EBT is the 
objective, 
After this exercise becomes easier and more familiar, you will notice 
that when you first grasp the EBT, it will begin to charge itself and you 
along with it. 
Cree your EBT is charged, you can go to the LBM and EBM exercises. Or you 
can play with the various uses of the EBT itself. For instence, you can 
make it into a lerge tube, place one end of it at your own center of 
conscicusness-«--and that may not be at the forehead---and stretch out the 
other end until it is near a person you are thinking of. Then let the 
energy from the far end of your EBT flow through the bar and into your 
conscious awareness, With practice, this becomes an excellent method for 
distant viewing, and for sending messages to another persone 
You can also ple: one end of your EBT inside your security repository ; 
box. Visualize or think of the bar toughing all of the energy neld inside 
the box. Then lect the energy flow outside of the box and into your EBT. 
Then move away from the security repository box and point the other end of 
the £=3T out anc -. ay from you, letting the energy ir has just absorbed flow.

Living Body Map: 	: ECLBM 02 
, Purpose: (1) To locate areas of imbalance in the physital body. ; 
(2) To provide a channel for focusing energies on to specific areas of the physical 
body in order to balance and strengthen them. 
(3) To provide a channel for focusing energy on the whole physical body in order 
to charge it, give it energy, increase its vibration while increasing the 
muscular relaxation. 
First Method: Go to Focus 10 and charge the EBT. From an area in back of you in Focus 10 
where you have stored it, take out a two-dimensional silhouette of your body, a silhouette 
that looks like a paper cut-out. Place your physical body behind the cut-out and look at 
it from the front. The cut-out or silhouette is white. Your physical body is emitting 
a great deal of light that shines through the silhouette, making it glow and sparkle. But 
you may notice areas within the silhouette that are dim or flickering. These are areas 
of imbalance and/or weakness. Take your EBT and aim green energy at the area in order to 
balance the energies. Then aim an ultra-violet type of purple at the area in order to add 
high energy, strengthening energy to the area. If the image or thought of the silhouette, © 
the LBM, is not clear enough to perceive any dim or flickering areas, aim the green and then 
the purple energies at areas you know are weak and not in balance. 
When you have completed this exercise with the white silhouette or map, turn the map. red. 
Now the energy from your physical body will make the map a very bright, glowing red. Again, 
look for the dim and flickering spots. If you see any, you will know that there is an 
imbalance or weakness in the circulation system in that area of your physical body. Rebalance 
them with the green energy and charge them with the purple energy from the EBT. If you know 
of any difficulties within the circulation system, you can balance and charge those areas 
of the map. Then, in order to look at the nervous system, turn the silhouette blue. For 
the muscle and bone structures, turn it orange. And for the organs and glandular system, 
turn it yellow. White is a composite of all the systems in the body. 
When you have completed all this, turn the silhouette back to white and charge the bright 
white silhouette with the purple charging energy in order to charge, raise the vibration 
of the whole body. Notice the silhouette becoming brighter and whiter under the purple ray. 
When this process becomes clear and effective---this may take some time---you may want to 
put a friend's body behind a silhouette of it and complete this exercise. Of course, you 
should ask his or her permission to do so first. 
Second Method: Go to Focus 10 and charge the EBT. Now, instead of locating a paper 
cut-out silhouette, find a translucent movie screen that you store in Focus 10. You can 
_unroll it from the ceiling or have it permanently set up in an area of Focus 10, or 
whatever you like to do to generate this image or thought. The screen is white. Place 
your body in a standing position behind the screen. Then have it walk right up to the 
screen while you watch from the front. Your body is emitting a great deal of light that 
shows up as a bright, sharp, two-dimensional silhouette on the screen. From there on the 
exercise is the same as the First Method, turning the screen red, blue, yellow, orange and white. 
Third Method: Instead of imaging or thinking of your body behind a silhouette or screen, you 
May want to make your body into a three-dimensional statue made of some translucent material. 
It helps a great deal to look at your body in a mirror first in order to hold a sharp image 
or thought of it. Make the translucent statue glow a bright white similar to a phosphorescent 
statue in a dark room. Then move all around it, looking for the dim and flickering spots. 
Use the EBT green and purple energies to balance and charge those areas. Also charge those 
areas you know are weak or in imbalance. Then turn the statue a bright, glowing red. And 
so on through the exercise. In Focus 10 you often find yourself being in the statue and 
outside it at the same time. You may find this dual location facilitates the exercise.

of the exercice, yappievalirérRelussds 200R/PbNBiCelA REP IRETOTESROUTFOO LEH IsY More vibrant.

‘Emotional Body Map: 	: : . 4 ECEBM 01 
Purpose: To provide a channel for focusing energy on the whole emotional structure 
in order to cleanse it and strengthen it. ‘ : 
First Method: Complete the first method of the LBM exercise. Place the LBM 
silhouette back wherever you store it in Focus 10. Behind the LBM silhouette is 
the EBM silhouette cut out of material finer and thinner than the LBM. It is a 
cut-out silhouette of your emotional body. If no image comes to you of what shape. 
your emotional body is, start with the image of your physical body, realizing that 
in time this shape may evolve into quite a different form. It may not. Now place 
this EBM over your emotional body. or, if you prefer, place it over your physical 
body with the understanding that the EBM, the silhouette, is glowing from the 
emotional energy coming from your body. Look for the dim and flickering spots; 
balance and and strengthen them with the green and purple EBT energies. Then 
cleanse and strengthen the whole emotional system by sweeping the map slowly from 
head to foot with the high-energy purple light from the EBT. When the silhouette 
is much brighter and much cleaner, turn the EBT off and store the emotional body 
map back behind the LBM. 
Sacond Method: Complete the second method of the LBM exercise. Pull down or use 
a second translucent movie screen behind the LBM. This screen is finer and thinner 
than the LBM screen. Place the emotional body behind the screen. Now look at 
the screen from the front in order to see the sharp , bright, two-dimensional 
silhouette made from the glowing emotional energies of the emotional body. 
Complete the exercise as in the first method. 
Third Method: Complete the third method of the LBM exercise. Now go behind the 
LBM statue some distance and notice that a second statue lights up. Thig statue 
may be made of a finer and even more translucent substance. It is your emotional 
body system. Look for the dim and flickering spots in the glowing statue; balance 
and strengthen them with the green and purple EBT energies. Then cleanse and 
strengthen the whole emotional system by sweeping the statue slowly from head to 
foot with the high-energy purple light from the EBT. When the statue is much 
cleaner and much brighter, turn the EBT off and "walk" away from the emotional body 
and living body statues.

coming up from the feet and hands through the whole body into the head. Do not inhale so 
Geeply that it strains the body. Hold your breath for a fairly long but comfortable period. 
Then exhale through your mouth, pursing your mouth together as if you were blowing out a 
candle. Exhale easily and comfortably. And as you exhale, feel the energy going back down, 
_down to your toes. Notice that it swirls down. Now take two or three shallow but comfortable 
breaths. Again inhale, feeling the energy moving up, all the way up into the head from all 
parts of the body. Hold the breath for a comfortable period of time. And then exhale, 
visualizing, thinking, feeling the energy swirl down to the toes. Exhale as if you were 
biowing out a candle. Again, take two or three easy and shallow breaths. 
As you keep repeating this process, you notice that the swirling energy not only moves down 
through the body, but it becins to form an egg- shaped energy field around you. Then it 
becomes even rounder until it forms a solid sphere of very bright, very light-filled energy 
around you, a very bright field of energy. At first, the perception of this may be quite 
le. Non-visualizers may "feel" the energy field as being similar to the feeling of being subt 
ur a strong field of static electricity. Also in the beginning, it helps to keep the 
rerception of the energy field around you during all parts of the breathing process. Make 
sare you also perceive it behind you as well as in front. 
ween the sphere has formed from the energy swirling down, visualize, thirk and feel during 
t¢ inhale that energy is coming in from your right and meeting the energy field around 
Hold your breath. And then as you exhale, blowing out the candle, visualize, think 
ang feei the energy going to your left and mixing in with your sphere of energy, swirling it 
in that direction also. Faster and faster the swirling becomes. And brighter and lighter 
tre energy field becomes until it is a very bright, very light balloon all around you. It 
mey be guite large. It does not have to have an outer membrane such as a balloon does, for 
this is a field of energy, your field. But it does float up like a balloon, carrying 
you inside it, 
Wrer the balloon has become very light, let it carry you upward. You should not have to 
in for this sensation. Nor do you have to think of it as taking you upward in this 
l matter reality. It should take you upward naturally into a lighter, expanded state 
aM r 
p ica 
Cc pein. Whether you want to float "upward" in a horizontal or vertical position inside 
ane halloon is up to you. But let it carry you upward easily and naturally. At times it 
cen go very fast. It will carry you to Focus 12 and eventually to Focus 15. 
ir Fecus 12 and Focus 15 you may lose perception of the balloon unless you need its 
protection. And you will use it to return to Focus 10, for you can make it float downward, 
returning you to this physical matter reality. Once you are in Focus 10, re-absorb the 
energy of the balloon because it is your energy. 
control over this exercise does not come within a day or a week. However, if you 
it at least twice a day, you will soon find that the resonant energy balloon 
a powerful tool for reaching expanded states of perception.

Now in Focus 10 you are learning ever greater ways to develop and control your 
physical self through the application of your total being. These will be available 
for your constructive use from this moment on. You will be able to use them whenever 
and wherever you so desire. 
i. To reduce emotional pressure throughout your total system: close your eyes, inhale 
deeply, hold your breath for a moment, then think of the calming, cleansing color of 
Green. When you do this, exhale your breath slowly, the calming, cleansing green 
energy will slowly and surely push all excess and harmful emotional charges down through 
your physical body and out through the soles of your feet, leaving your entire system, 
your entire self, calm and confident, strong and serene. 
2. To charge your physical body for an act of great speed and great strength, all with 
smooth coordination: close your eyes, inhale deeply, hold your breath, then think of 
the physical act to be performed, bade then the strong color energy of red. When you 
exhale your breath and open your eyes, you will be able immediately te , perform the 
physical act you have pictured - with far greater strength, much more rapidly and with 
smooth total coordination of your physical body. 
Ss. To receive, convert and store new fresh energy for your total system: close your 
eyes, extend your hands outward (palms up), then inhale deeply and hold your breath 
for a moment. In that moment think of radiant, pure, white energy foczsed from above 
ang centering down on the paims of vour hands, then flowing up through your arms and 
srreading throughout your total self, refreshing, invigorating and satisfying. When . 
you exhale and open your eyes, you will feel refreshed and rejuvenated. You will no 
ionger feel hunger for physical food because your need has been parietieds 
To bring any part of your physical body to a normal, healthy, balanced operating 
naition: close your eyes, inhale Geeply and hold your breath for a romert. During 
moment think of the healing, cool energy of purple, look with your closed eyes at 
<= part of your physical body that requires help and send the flow of purple energy . 
it, send it to it, saying in your mind: "heal," "balance." Then exhale and open 
ux eyes. When you do this, that part of your physical body will begin immediately 
restore and rebalance into a normal, healthy operating condition more rapidly and 
heeginen: than ever before. Also, any foreign substance in that part of the body 
nich may hinder or prevent its normal function will be processed and elminated through 
ey body channels.

5. Now in Focus 12 you amwgoing to learn a way to establish new patterns and positions 
your coming life activities. Whenever you desire to set such new patterns and in. 
positions in your coming life, all you need do while in Focus 12 is: think of the 
péttern or position you desire, build it carefully in your mind and release such thought 
pattern in your mind and move it strongly out into all areas of your expanded awareness. 
Let it flow into the farthest points of such awareness. When you do this, the pattern 
or position that you have thought, that you have created, will begin immediately to form 
anc Gevelop. It will continue to do so until it is a complete reality provided such 
Pet.ern is constructive and beneficial to the purpose of the total selves within such 
pattern or position. ! 	%

Frequently Asked Questions

The Gateway Process is a training system developed by the Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences to expand human consciousness and induce altered states — including out-of-body experiences — using 'Hemi-Sync' audio tones designed to synchronize the brain's two hemispheres. This document is the Institute's Gateway Intermediate Workbook, retained in CIA files.

The material was retained as part of the intelligence community's Cold War interest in whether consciousness-expansion techniques held intelligence value. A companion 1983 analysis by a U.S. Army officer assessed that question, and the material became widely known decades later when the analytic report circulated online.

Hemi-Sync ('hemispheric synchronization') is the Monroe Institute's audio technique that plays tones intended to synchronize the brain's two hemispheres. The Gateway workbook combines it with affirmations and 'resonant' energy-conversion breathing to help a practitioner reach altered states and perceive beyond the physical body.
