00:00:02
the report entitled analysis and
00:00:05
assessment of the gateway process was
00:00:07
penned in 1983 by u.s army lieutenant
00:00:10
colonel wayne m mcdonnell mcdonald
00:00:13
described the gateway experience as a
00:00:15
training system designed to bring
00:00:16
enhanced strength focus and coherence to
00:00:20
the amplitude and frequency of brainwave
00:00:22
output between left and right
00:00:24
hemispheres so as to alter consciousness
00:00:27
moving it outside the physical space so
00:00:29
as to ultimately escape even the
00:00:31
restrictions of time and space in
00:00:33
simpler terms the gateway experience
00:00:35
uses sound to manipulate brainwaves with
00:00:38
a goal of creating an altered state of
00:00:40
consciousness in which a person can
00:00:42
interact with non-physical aspects of
00:00:44
reality practical uses of the technique
00:00:47
according to the cia report include
00:00:49
manifesting goals converting energy to
00:00:52
heal one's body and even traveling
00:00:54
across space and time to access new
00:00:57
information
00:00:58
the report was quietly declassified by
00:01:00
the cia in 2003 and largely went
00:01:04
unnoticed

00:01:12
introduction
00:01:14
in order to describe the monroe
00:01:16
institute technique for achieving
00:01:17
altered states of consciousness the
00:01:19
gateway experience involving brain
00:01:22
hemisphere synchronization or hemisink
00:01:24
the most effective way to begin is to
00:01:26
briefly profile the basic mechanics
00:01:29
which underlay operation of related
00:01:31
methods such as hypnosis transcendental
00:01:34
meditation and biofeedback it is easiest
00:01:37
to effectively describe what gateway is
00:01:39
by beginning with a short description of
00:01:41
those associated techniques that share
00:01:44
some common aspects with the gateway
00:01:46
experience but which are nevertheless
00:01:48
different
00:01:49
in this way we can develop a frame of
00:01:51
reference at the outset which will
00:01:52
provide useful concepts to explain and
00:01:55
understand gateway by comparison as we
00:01:58
proceed
00:01:59

00:02:02
gateway and hemisink
00:02:05
fundamentally the gateway experience is
00:02:07
a training system designed to bring
00:02:08
enhanced strength focus and coherence to
00:02:11
the amplitude and frequency of brainwave
00:02:14
output between the left and right
00:02:15
hemispheres so as to alter consciousness
00:02:18
moving it outside the physical sphere so
00:02:20
as to ultimately escape even the
00:02:22
restrictions of time and space the
00:02:25
participant then gains access to the
00:02:27
various levels of intuitive knowledge
00:02:29
which the universe offers what
00:02:31
differentiates the gateway experience
00:02:33
from forms of meditation is its use of
00:02:36
the hemisink technique which is defined
00:02:38
in a monograph by monroe institute
00:02:40
trainer melissa jaeger as a state of
00:02:43
consciousness defined when the eeg
00:02:45
patterns of both hemispheres are
00:02:47
simultaneously equal in amplitude and
00:02:50
frequency although hemi sync seems to be
00:02:52
rather rare and of only short duration
00:02:55
in ordinary human consciousness melissa
00:02:57
jagger states that audio techniques
00:02:59
developed by bob munro can induce and
00:03:02
sustain hemisync with the institute's
00:03:04
basic focus 3 tapes she also notes that
00:03:07
studies conducted by elmer and alice
00:03:10
greene at the henniger foundation have
00:03:12
shown that a subject with 20 years of
00:03:14
training in zen meditation could
00:03:16
consistently establish hemisink at will
00:03:19
sustaining it for over 15 minutes
00:03:22
dr stewart twemlow a psychiatrist and
00:03:25
research associate of the monroe
00:03:27
institute reports in our studies of the
00:03:29
effect of the monroe tape system on
00:03:31
brainwaves we have found that the tapes
00:03:33
encourage the focusing of brain energy
00:03:36
it can be measured as with a light bulb
00:03:38
in watts into a narrower and narrower
00:03:40
frequency band the focusing of energy is
00:03:43
not unlike the yoga concept of
00:03:45
one-pointedness which we may translate
00:03:48
in western terms as single-mindedness dr
00:03:51
twemlow goes on to observe that as the
00:03:53
individual gets into the tapes beyond
00:03:55
focus 3 there is a gradual increase in
00:03:58
brainwave size which is a measure of
00:04:00
brain energy or power
00:04:03
this is the first step along your path
00:04:06
to a gateway
00:04:07
a gateway beyond which is discovery
00:04:10
your own discovery of reality of truth
00:04:14
of who and what you are
00:04:16
because of the special audio techniques
00:04:18
used
00:04:19
it's important that certain sounds reach
00:04:21
your right ear and others your left ear
00:04:24
to be sure of this you should be hearing
00:04:26
my voice in your right ear at this
00:04:28
moment
00:04:29
if you are not hearing my voice in your
00:04:31
right ear
00:04:32
turn your headphones around now
00:04:34
so that you are hearing my voice in your
00:04:37
right ear
00:04:41
6.
00:04:42
lamp versus laser
00:04:45
melissa jaeger uses a metaphor to help
00:04:47
clarify the process involved in the use
00:04:49
of hemisink in the gateway experience
00:04:52
she points out that the human mind in
00:04:54
its natural state may be likened to an
00:04:56
ordinary lamp which expands energy in
00:04:58
the form of both heat and light but in a
00:05:01
chaotic incoherent way which diffuses
00:05:04
its energy over a wide area of rather
00:05:06
limited depth on the other hand the
00:05:09
human mind under the discipline of
00:05:10
hemisink acts in the fashion of a laser
00:05:13
beam which produces a disciplined stream
00:05:15
of light the stream of energy is
00:05:17
projected with total coherence of both
00:05:19
frequency and amplitude such that the
00:05:22
surface area of a laser beam contains
00:05:24
billions of times the concentrated
00:05:26
energy found in a similar surface area
00:05:29
on the sun gateway assumes that once the
00:05:31
frequency and amplitude of the human
00:05:33
brain are rendered coherent it is
00:05:35
possible to begin accelerating both so
00:05:38
that the human mind is soon resonating
00:05:40
at ever higher vibrational levels the
00:05:42
mind can then bring itself into
00:05:44
synchronization with more sophisticated
00:05:46
and rarefied energy levels in the
00:05:48
universe the mind when operating at
00:05:51
these increasingly rarefied levels is
00:05:53
assumed to be capable of processing the
00:05:55
information thus received through the
00:05:58
same fundamental matrix by which it
00:06:00
makes sense of ordinary physical sensory
00:06:03
input to achieve meaning in a cognitive
00:06:05
context
00:06:06
such meaning is usually perceived
00:06:08
visually in the form of symbols but may
00:06:10
also be perceived as astonishing flashes
00:06:13
of holistic intuition or even in the
00:06:15
form of scenarios involving both visual
00:06:18
and oral perception the mechanics by
00:06:20
which the mind exercises the
00:06:22
consciousness function will be addressed
00:06:24
in more detail later in this paper
00:06:28
7. frequency following response
00:06:31
to achieve synchronization of brain
00:06:33
hemispheres the hemisink technique takes
00:06:36
advantage of a phenomenon known as the
00:06:38
frequency following response ffr which
00:06:41
means that if a subject hears a sound
00:06:43
produced at a frequency which emulates
00:06:45
one of those associated with the
00:06:47
operation of the human brain the brain
00:06:49
will try to mimic the same frequency
00:06:51
pattern by adjusting its brainwave
00:06:52
output therefore if the subject is in a
00:06:55
fully awake state but here's sound
00:06:57
frequencies which approximate brainwave
00:07:00
output at the theta level the subject's
00:07:02
brain will endeavor to alter its
00:07:03
brainwave pattern from the normal beta
00:07:06
to the theta level since the theta level
00:07:08
is associated with sleep the subject
00:07:10
concerned may progress from a fully
00:07:12
awake to a sleep state providing that he
00:07:15
does not consciously resist as the brain
00:07:18
strives to entrain its wave frequency
00:07:20
output with one which the person hears
00:07:23
since these brainwave frequencies are
00:07:25
outside of the spectrum of sounds which
00:07:27
can be heard in pure form by the human
00:07:29
ear hemisink must produce them based on
00:07:32
another phenomenon known as the brain's
00:07:34
capacity for deducing beat frequencies
00:07:37
if the human brain is exposed to one
00:07:39
frequency in the left ear which is 10
00:07:41
hertz below another audible frequency
00:07:43
played in the right ear rather than
00:07:45
hearing either of the two audible
00:07:47
frequencies the brain chooses to hear
00:07:49
the difference between them the beat
00:07:52
frequency thus availing itself of the
00:07:54
ffr phenomenon and using the technique
00:07:57
of beat frequencies the gateway system
00:07:59
uses hemisync and other audio techniques
00:08:02
employing the ffr phenomenon to
00:08:04
introduce a variety of frequencies which
00:08:06
are played at a virtually subliminal
00:08:09
marginally audible level the objective
00:08:12
is to relax the left hemisphere of the
00:08:14
brain place the physical body in a
00:08:16
virtual sleep state and bring the left
00:08:18
and right hemispheres into coherence
00:08:20
under conditions designed to promote the
00:08:22
production of ever higher amplitude and
00:08:25
frequency of brainwave output audible
00:08:27
and perhaps subliminal suggestions by
00:08:29
bob monroe accompany the various
00:08:32
brainwave frequencies which are
00:08:33
sometimes rolled in together with other
00:08:35
sounds such as c surf to mask the sound
00:08:38
frequencies were desirable in this way
00:08:41
gateway endeavors to provide the subject
00:08:43
with the tools by which he may alter his
00:08:45
consciousness based on his own volition
00:08:47
over time through the repetitive use of
00:08:49
the tapes so as to access via intuitive
00:08:52
means new categories of information not
00:08:55
available to ordinary consciousness
00:09:01
8. role of resonance
00:09:04
however brain coherence through
00:09:05
entrainment to beat frequencies
00:09:07
introduced via stereo headphones is only
00:09:10
part of the reason why the gateway
00:09:11
system works it is also designed to
00:09:14
achieve the physical quietude
00:09:15
characteristic of deep transcendental
00:09:17
meditative states which bring about a
00:09:19
complete alteration of the fundamental
00:09:21
resonance pattern associated with the
00:09:23
sound frequencies produced by the human
00:09:25
body yoga zen or transcendental
00:09:28
meditation if practiced long enough will
00:09:30
produce a change in the sound frequency
00:09:33
with which the human heart resonates
00:09:35
throughout the entire body according to
00:09:37
bentov this change in resonance results
00:09:39
from the elimination of what the medical
00:09:41
profession calls the bifurcation echo so
00:09:44
that the sound of the heartbeat can move
00:09:46
synchronously up and down the
00:09:47
circulatory system in harmonious
00:09:49
resonance approximately seven times a
00:09:52
second benshov describes the role played
00:09:54
by the bifurcation echo as follows when
00:09:57
the left ventricle of the heart ejects
00:09:59
blood the aorta being elastic balloons
00:10:02
out just beyond the valve and causes a
00:10:05
pressure pulse to travel down along the
00:10:07
aorta when the pressure pulse reaches
00:10:09
the bifurcation in the lower abdomen
00:10:11
which is where the aorta forks into to
00:10:14
go into the legs part of the pressure
00:10:16
pulse rebounds and starts traveling up
00:10:18
the aorta if in the meantime the heart
00:10:21
ejects more blood and a new pressure
00:10:23
pulse is traveling down these two
00:10:25
pressure points will eventually collide
00:10:27
somewhere along the aorta and produce an
00:10:30
interference pattern by placing the body
00:10:32
in a sleep-like state the gateway tapes
00:10:34
achieve the same goal as meditation in
00:10:37
that it places the body in such a
00:10:38
profoundly relaxed state that the
00:10:40
bifurcation echo slowly fades away as
00:10:43
the heart lessens the force and
00:10:44
frequency with which it pushes blood
00:10:47
into the aorta the result is a regular
00:10:49
rhythmic sine wave pattern of sound
00:10:52
which echoes throughout the body and
00:10:54
rises up into the head in sustained
00:10:56
resonance the amplitude of this sine
00:10:59
wave pattern when measured with a
00:11:00
sensitive seismograph type instrument is
00:11:03
about three times the average of the
00:11:05
sound volume produced by the heart when
00:11:07
it is operating normally
00:11:11
nine
00:11:12
brain stimulation
00:11:14
bentoff's biomedical model shows that
00:11:16
this resonance is of considerable
00:11:18
importance since it is directly
00:11:20
transmitted to and impacts upon the
00:11:22
brain the resulting vibration is
00:11:25
received and transmitted into the brain
00:11:27
itself via the fluid-filled third and
00:11:29
left ventricles located above the
00:11:31
brainstem an electromagnetic pulse is
00:11:34
then generated which stimulates the
00:11:36
brain to raise the amplitude and
00:11:38
frequency of brainwave output just as dr
00:11:40
twemlow observed in his research on the
00:11:42
effects of the hemisink tapes also the
00:11:45
brain is contained in a tight membrane
00:11:47
called the dura which is in turn
00:11:50
cushioned by a thin layer of fluid
00:11:52
located between it and the skull as the
00:11:54
coherent resonance produced by the human
00:11:56
heart in a state of profound relaxation
00:11:59
reaches the fluid layer surrounding the
00:12:01
brain it sets up a rhythmic pattern in
00:12:04
which the brain moves up and down
00:12:06
approximately .005
00:12:09
to .01 millimeters in a continuous
00:12:12
pattern the self-reinforcing character
00:12:14
of resonant behavior accounts for the
00:12:16
body's ability to sustain this movement
00:12:18
despite the minimal level of energy
00:12:20
involved in this way the entire body
00:12:23
based on its own micro motion functions
00:12:26
as a tuned vibrational system which
00:12:28
transfers energy in a range between 6.8
00:12:31
and 7.5 hertz into the earth's
00:12:34
ionospheric cavity which itself
00:12:36
resonates at about 7 to 7.5 hertz of
00:12:40
this process bentav states this is
00:12:42
occurring at a very long wavelength of
00:12:44
about 40 000 kilometers or just above
00:12:47
the perimeter of the planet in other
00:12:49
words the signal from the movement of
00:12:51
our bodies will travel around the world
00:12:53
in about 1 7 of a second through the
00:12:55
electrostatic field in which we are
00:12:57
embedded such a long wavelength knows no
00:13:00
obstacles and its strength does not
00:13:02
attenuate much over large distances
00:13:05
naturally it will go through just about
00:13:07
anything metal concrete water and the
00:13:10
fields making up our bodies it is the
00:13:12
ideal medium for conveying a telepathic
00:13:15
signal consequently the gateway process
00:13:18
is designed to rather rapidly induce a
00:13:20
state of profound calm within the
00:13:22
nervous system and to significantly
00:13:24
lower blood pressure to cause the
00:13:26
circulatory system skeleton and all
00:13:29
other physical organ systems to begin
00:13:32
vibrating coherently at approximately 7
00:13:34
to 7.5 cycles per second the resulting
00:13:38
resonance sets up a regular repetitive
00:13:40
sound wave which propagates in
00:13:42
consonance with the electrostatic field
00:13:45
of the earth
00:13:47
10. energy entrainment
00:13:50
as the body is tuned into a coherent
00:13:52
oscillator vibrating in harmony with the
00:13:54
surrounding electrostatic medium the
00:13:57
specific exercises included in the
00:13:59
gateway tapes enjoy the participant to
00:14:02
build up the energy field surrounding
00:14:04
his body presumably by using energy from
00:14:06
the earth's field which the body is now
00:14:08
in training because of its ability to
00:14:10
resonate with it this puts the body's
00:14:13
energy field into homogeneity with its
00:14:15
surrounding environment and promotes
00:14:17
movement of the seat of consciousness
00:14:19
into the surrounding environment partly
00:14:21
in response to the fact that the two
00:14:23
electromagnetic medians are now a single
00:14:26
energy continuum thus the same process
00:14:29
which moves the brain into focused
00:14:31
coherence at steadily higher levels of
00:14:34
frequency and amplitude so as to entrain
00:14:37
analogous frequencies in the universe
00:14:39
for data collection also promotes the
00:14:41
enhancement of bodily energy levels to a
00:14:44
point adequate to permit the subject to
00:14:46
experience an out-of-body movement when
00:14:49
he is ready to do so in addition by
00:14:51
resonating with the earth's
00:14:53
electromagnetic sphere the human body
00:14:55
creates a surprisingly powerful carrier
00:14:58
wave to assist the mind in communication
00:15:00
activity with other human minds
00:15:02
similarly tuned
