GATEWAY PROCESS

ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT — DECLASSIFIED 2003

OVERVIEW

The Gateway Experience is a training system developed by The Monroe Institute designed to alter consciousness using audio patterns called Hemi-Sync. In 1983, US Army Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M. McDonnell was tasked by the CIA to produce an assessment of the program.

The resulting document describes consciousness as an energy phenomenon that can be tuned like a radio to access different "frequencies" of reality, including states beyond physical space-time.

Core Premise: The universe is a hologram. Consciousness is the fundamental energy that creates and interacts with this hologram. By altering brainwave patterns through binaural beats, one can access expanded states of awareness.

FOCUS STATES

The Gateway training uses progressively deeper states of consciousness, each with specific characteristics:

STATE NAME CHARACTERISTICS
C-1 Normal Waking Baseline consciousness, physical awareness dominant
Focus 10 Mind Awake/Body Asleep Physical body deeply relaxed, mental clarity maintained. Gateway foundation state.
Focus 12 Expanded Awareness Consciousness expands beyond physical body. Access to intuition, remote viewing, self-patterning.
Focus 15 No Time "Time as we know it does not exist." Access to past events, timeless awareness.
Focus 21 Other Energy Systems Bridge to other dimensions. Future exploration, contact with non-physical entities.

FREQUENCY SCIENCE

BINAURAL BEATS

When two slightly different frequencies are presented to each ear, the brain perceives a third "beat" frequency equal to the difference. This entrains brainwaves to the target frequency.

Example: Left ear 200 Hz + Right ear 207.83 Hz = 7.83 Hz beat (Schumann resonance)

BRAINWAVE FREQUENCIES

FREQUENCY BAND STATE APPLICATION
0.5-2 Hz Delta Deep sleep Healing, regeneration, unconscious access
4 Hz Theta Focus 10 Body asleep/mind awake, deep meditation
6.3 Hz Theta Astral OBE onset, vibration stage, astral projection
7.83 Hz Alpha/Theta Schumann Earth resonance, grounding, telepathic carrier
10 Hz Alpha Relaxed Light meditation, creativity, calm awareness
12 Hz SMR Focus Calm concentration, sensorimotor rhythm
14+ Hz Beta Alert Active thinking, problem solving
40 Hz Gamma Peak Transcendence, insight, higher cognition

ADVANCED FREQUENCIES

Research from various sources suggests additional frequencies of interest:

Tesla's 3-6-9: Nikola Tesla believed these numbers held the key to the universe. 3 Hz, 6 Hz, and 9 Hz may have special resonance properties.

Pyramid Resonance: The King's Chamber resonates around 438 Hz. The Great Pyramid structure may amplify Schumann resonance (7.83 Hz).

111 Hz: Found in many ancient sacred spaces (Hypogeum of Malta, Newgrange). Affects prefrontal cortex activity.

432 Hz Base: Some researchers suggest using 432 Hz as a base frequency instead of 440 Hz for more "natural" harmonics.

GATEWAY TOOLS

ENERGY BAR TOOL (EBT)

Visualize a pulsating bar of light between your hands. Use it to focus and direct non-physical energy. Can be applied to healing, exploration, or protection.

LIVING BODY MAP (LBM)

A diagnostic visualization of your physical body using color overlays:

  • Blue — Nervous system
  • Red — Circulatory system
  • Orange — Muscle and bone
  • Yellow — Organs

RESONANT ENERGY BALLOON (REBAL)

A protective energy sphere that surrounds you. Visualize it expanding with each breath, creating a boundary that permits only beneficial energies.

REPOSITORY BOX

A mental container for storing distractions, worries, and problems during sessions. Visualize placing concerns inside, locking them away, and retrieving them upon return to C-1.

QUICK TOOLS

PAIN REDUCTION MANTRA

55515

Repeat mentally while focusing on the affected area. The numbers create a dissociative pattern that interrupts pain signals.

COLOR ENERGY CODES

COLOR PURPOSE APPLICATION
GREEN Emotional discharge Calming anxiety, releasing emotional buildup
RED Physical power Speed, strength, physical energy boost
WHITE Fresh energy Intake of pure, universal energy
PURPLE Healing/balancing Physical and energetic healing, restoration

OUT-OF-BODY EXIT METHODS

Once in Focus 10 or deeper, these techniques can facilitate separation of consciousness from the physical body:

  1. Rolling Out — Imagine rolling sideways out of your body like a log rolling off a bed.
  2. Rising Pole — Visualize rising straight up, stiff like a pole, perpendicular to your body.
  3. Backing Away — Sense yourself backing out through the back of your head.
  4. Dispersing Gas — Imagine your consciousness as gas dispersing out through the top of your head.
  5. Floating Up — Simply allow yourself to float upward, lighter than air.
The Vibration Stage: Before separation, many experience intense vibrations throughout the body. This is normal and indicates readiness. Do not resist — allow the vibrations to intensify until separation occurs naturally.

SESSION LOGGING

The Monroe Institute recommends tracking the following for each session:

PYRAMID POWER

The workbook mentions "pyramid power" as an exterior aid. Some practitioners position themselves under pyramid structures (scaled replicas of the Great Pyramid proportions) to amplify meditation effects. The pyramid shape is theorized to focus and amplify subtle energies.

THE FEAR BARRIER

The documents describe a phenomenon called "clicking out" — blanking or falling asleep when consciousness approaches expanded states. This is a natural self-protective mechanism.

Homeostasis: The mind resists change. When you advance too quickly, fear triggers a return to baseline. This is not failure — it's your consciousness protecting itself until you're ready.

Solution: Practice each level thoroughly before advancing. Build familiarity until the expanded state feels safe. Trust develops through repetition.
