Gateway Process - CIA Declassified Documents - Discussion - Part 1
Some notes and info on the subject, Part 1
Tonight the first 10 pages bring us to page 8 of the documents as it's counted.
Subject: Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process
-What is the Gateway Program? It was invented by the Monroe Institute
-document dated: June 1983
-Released by the CIA in 2003
-LTC Wayne M. Mcdonnell from the Army is doing research into the Gateway Program.
-McDonnell and a physician took the Gateway training together.
-McDonnell mentions that the process works. I was wondering how he found out the process works. Who did he hear this from?
-He admits this Gateway program proved to be an extremely involved and difficult business.
-Because of the occult connotations, McDonnell tries to use physics/ physical science terminology to describe OOB states so it's suitable for his objective assessment.
-Gets into how biomedical factors are affected by hypnosis, biofeedback, and transcendental meditation.
-McDonnell mentions that part of his research on this will take some right-brain intuitive insight to be comfortable with the concepts involved. Using your left brain linear thinking might not work.
-How does the Gateway program impact common belief systems?
-First mentions Gateway Experience: Brain Hemisphere Synchronization in perspective.
-McConnell describes the Gateway Experience as achieving altered states of consciousness, involving brain hemisphere synchronization or Hemi-Sync.
-Gets into Hypnosis and how this affects the left and right parts of our brain.
-Because the left hemisphere acts like a gatekeeper before information gets sent to the right side, ---Hypnosis allows the left side to get bored and let hypnotic suggestions to pass unchallenged to the -Right Hemisphere and acted upon directly.
-Also, stimulation of the corresponding area on the cortex causes an intermediate response in the associated portion of the body. (Has anyone ever seen experiments with this?)
-The 1st two Consciousness altering methodologies help turn off or bypass the left brain. Hypnosis & Transcendental Meditation.
-1st - Hypnosis may be used to accelerate progress in the early stages of the Gateway Experience.
-Transcendental Meditation - 2nd Consciousness altering method - described by single minded concentration on the process of drawing energy up the spinal cord. Then mentions a book by Lee --Sannella "Kundalini-Psychosis or Transcendence. (Anyone want to talk about this)
-Bentov's Bio-medical model says that most Kundalini experiences can take intense concentration and practice for five years. Bentov states that exposure to mechanical or acoustical vibrations in the range of 4-7 hertz(cycles per second) for protracted periods may achieve the same effect. Wow
-Biofeedback - The 3rd Consciousness altering methodology employs the self-cognitive powers of the left hemisphere to gain access to areas of the right brain.
-For example: if the subject wishes to increase the circulation in the left leg in order to speed up healing he may concentrate with his left brain on achieving that result while carefully monitoring a digital thermometer connected to the left leg. When the concentrated effort begins to achieve success, the digital thermometer will register an increase in the temp of the left leg. (Like what ---Monks use to sit outside in the cold with a wet blanket around them?)
-Biofeedback may be used to greatly accelerate the achievement of deep meditative states particularly for beginners with no meditative technique experience.
-Next - Gateway and Hemi-Sync - is a training system designed to bring enhanced strength, focus, and coherence to the amplitude and frequency of brainwave output between the left and right hemispheres so as to alter consciousness, moving it outside the physical sphere so as to ultimately escape even the restrictions of time and space. The participant gains access to the various levels of intuitive knowledge which the universe offers. Nice!!
-It's rare that both human sides of the brain are synced for more than a short period of time.... --Focus 3 Hemi-Sync audio can help sustain this synchronization for long periods of time.
-A study that was done that a subject with 20 years of training in Zen Meditation could consistently establish Hemi-Sync at will, sustaining it for over 15 minutes.
-Lamp vs Laser: Your mind is like a lamp that expends energy in the form of both heat and light but in a chaotic way. Hemi-Sync is like a laser beam that produces a disciplined stream of light.
-Stopped around FRR area
