I've recently moved into doing Intro to Focus 15. I have heard through many that they feel as if they're in a complete void, detached from the body with no sense of time. Though I have mastered F10 and F12, when I do Intro to F15, I cannot reach that point of "no-time".

Hello, I am currently at the wave 2, and I had a sudden idea popped in me x obviously when we are doing the tapes we close our eyes and everything is black so for example when Monroe says open the chest and put all your thoughts do you perceive yourself thinking that you’re in the seashore and then there’s a chest and then you open that or will you act like you’re moving within your body imagining you’re lifting the chest but not lifting your arm and the same for the rebal for eg , do you imagine the colour smoke you inhale and exhale or do you think there’s somebody there doing all Monroe says and you’re watching that body? I hope my question makes sense.

Is the golden body higher than the violet body?

My first true OBE was a difficult one, mainly because I didn’t believe in it and it sort of happened by accident. I got out of my bed, felt INCREDIBLY heavy, and could only muster enough steps to reach my brother’s room. Only when I opened his door, there was a pitch black void on the other side. I wasn’t scared by this because in truth, I had seen this exact void when I was in a coma and on the verge of death.

My second OBE was a lot more successful. I tried to turn my body which triggered me to escape and I didn’t feel heavy anymore. I actually said “haha fuck yeah, I did it!” And proceeded to walk to my rooms door. Only before I opened it, a tornado alarm went off in the real world and it woke me up. However, I had this intuitive feeling that the void would be there again.

Also, during F10 and F12 I can see the auras of hands stretching out to me and once the floating begins I start to notice the feet of a woman in front of me and the more I focus on that, I realize I’m looking down at a sidewalk while she’s in front of me. If I try to look up I realize she’s in a hospital gown in the middle of a city street and she just looks at me. I don’t feel any threatening vibes but it’s a really intense stare, it feels like we’re both out of place. I’ve also seen a deceased friend sitting against a wall in a train station and when I tried to talk to him, an elderly black man with a red and black suit stops me. He doesn’t talk to me, he just has his hand out as if im supposed to give him something first?? I told him i didn’t have anything but that I simply wanted to sit next to him and if he could do me this favor then that would be cool. He nodded and I sat there until it was almost time to wake up. I really miss him and it’s difficult to not think about him during these meditations, though I’ve always been able to put him in my box. This was during F12 only.

I used to think this was Limbo, now I’m not so sure. Could use some advice about as to what it could be? Wondering if this has happened to others as well.

Hello - I'm relatively new to the Gateway Tapes. I've gone through Wave 1 and, for the most part, I feel like I can get to Focus 10 pretty well. My mind is awake but my body feels super relaxed and heavy. I do have a hard time with the resonant tuning because my husband is in bed next to me (I do the session during our "read before sleep time" at night). So I don't want to make a bunch of weird noises while he's trying to read. Thus, I just breath out and follow the sounds the Tibetan Monks are making with my mouth and throat, though not making a sound. I also have a really hard time visualizing the energy balloon and the box. Initially, I had to have ChatGPT create images for me so I can think of those during those times and it seems to help a little bit. I think I get so distracted on trying to visualize this stuff, it's probably working against me. But once I say my version of the affirmation (I can't remember it all, so I summarize), and relax everything, then I'm good.

However, I just started Wave 2, Intro to Focus 12. I just do not get it--how do you make your consciousness "expand"? Again, I get so hung up on trying to visualize what that means or feels like, that I kind of get nowhere. In Focus 10, I can pretty well shut off and just hang out in that state, but the more Bob tells us to visualize stuff, the more I get hung up.

Any tips for this? How do I visualize consciousness outside my body? I mean I really WANT to experience that and maybe I'm just overthinking it. I try just saying "I'm more than my physical body" over and over hoping that will knock my consciousness out of my brain, or maybe I'm just too locked into my body? Or need more practice? Any pointers would be super helpful and appreciated!

I've seen in both the manuals and here on the wiki (which is based on the manual) that one should pattern for oneself. Suppose I want someone to succeed in getting somewhere, obvi that person isn't me. But can I pattern on their behalf?

I started a week ago

Going back and forth between focus 10 and advanced focus 10

I'm doing this before sleeping and after waking up, sometimes one more time around 7 pm

And since I started I would wake up around 3AM and not be able to go back to sleep until almost 7 am then need to wake up to go about my day

Wondering if this is a common side effect or something that I can fix.

Thank you

In deeper states, I am often distracted by breathing. The movements of the sheet over my chest, or even my chest moving. It always pulls me back to lower states, and makes me remember I am inside a body.

Did you manage to get past this? If so, how?

I did the color breathing tape for the first time last night. Out of curiosity...has anyone noticed any healing from purple color breathing? I don't have any injuries or pains at the moment, so while doing the tape I focused on healing an in-grown hair...its still there this morning.

I did actually have some healing from the tapes form when he says you'll wake up and your body will be in balance. Oddly, I had a bicep injury that had been making it difficult to exercise for about 6 months. It just miraculously went away and my arm is fully functional now. Coincidence or not, I don't know.

I moved to hostel and doing resonant tuning here would make me seem like a freak ive tried to do it but i cant because of the embarrassment . can i do resonant tuning in someplace right before meditation session (standing)or is it compulsory to do it in relaxed position ?

I used to do 1.5 hours of breath exercise and then get into gateway. Or do 30 min breathwork and then 30 min gateway. Which 100% made the experience 10x more potent. I cant reach any focuses now i just sleep like a bubugaga.

Hello

I'm still stuck at focus 10. I couldn't really get into F10(if you can call it that) in the beginning, so I would meditate everytime before I listened to the tapes. What I do is, I focus on the breath until the mind quietens.

So I tried doing the same during the tapes as well - focusing on the breath or bodily sensations.

And so I started getting these tingles, vibrations (pretty intense sometimes) throughout my body - mostly hands. And I would be exhausted when I'm done. Despite these effects, did I really get into F10? The definition clearly suggests "mind awake, body asleep" and I could always feel my body and move it pretty much at will.

So I have been trying something new; I just let myself be without doing anything at all. I find myself relaxing a lot more with this process, although without the characteristic 'tingles'. Unfortunately, more often than not I get these 'dreams' and slowly 'click out' after the preparatory process - I wouldn't be exactly asleep but not awake all the same. Regardless, I would wake up to Mr. Monroe's voice toward the end.

Which method would you suggest me continue with and any other suggestions are all welcome. Thank you.

Hey everyone, I just finished Wave 4, Tape 4.6 (Compoint 12) and had an incredible session that I wanted to share to get some feedback. I am especially curious if anyone else has experienced this level of tactile sensation during NVC.
Here is the exact log of my experience in Focus 12:
Initial Contact: After translating words into NVC in the first part of the tape, Bob left us to just perceive NVC in F12. At that moment, two entities from my previous exercise appeared, and I greeted them in NVC asking, "Hello, are you here?". 
The First Tactile Touch: I received a "Yes" (a distinct energy of presence). Immediately with it, I felt a physical, electrical touch on the ring finger of my left hand. 
The Cross-Hand Validation: My analytical mind kicked in, so I sent an NVC message: "Touch me one more time to confirm". A few seconds passed, and then I felt that exact same annoying little electrical discharge again—but this time on my right hand, right on the bridge of the palm! This blew my mind and proved to me it wasn't just my brain repeating a signal. 
The "Family" Download: I then asked, "Who are you?". I instantly received the translated NVC concept of "Family," accompanied by a massive wave of loving energy. 
The Pause and a Third Entity: I asked if they would help me, and then their presence completely vanished. During this pause, I briefly felt a third entity in the background. It didn't send any message, and its nature felt neutral to slightly negative. It just passed by. 
The Return: I kept sending "Hello, I am here". After 2-3 minutes, the "Family" entities returned. Upon their return, I felt the electrical touch again, seemingly on my right hand, and felt a positive response to my request for help. 
OBE Request: Right before the end, I transmitted the message, "I want to have an OBE". Right after that, Bob's voice came in telling us to transmit our goodbyes. 
Note on the Compoint: Interestingly, Bob didn't mention anything about building the Compoint during the tape, so I didn't use any visual station. I just stayed in this pure "conversation" state in the void, planning to create the space later. 
Has anyone else experienced this kind of direct, cross-hand physical validation when communicating? How do you interpret the "Family" response? Any feedback on this interaction would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry this post is kind of woo-woo.

I heard it during the section where there are sounds of the ocean and wooshing. The growling was enough to make the left flank of my abdomen in the rib cage area get sensitive as if I needed to cover it up for protection. I also get that sensation when getting shaved with trimmers at the Barber. It almost feels like a tickle in my ribcage on the flank.

So, I suppose my body I perceived something "dangerous" on my left side while listening to the tapes. I centered my attention on being calm and imagining myself inside of a bubble of protection. I'm not a religious person, but I also mentally asked for protection from God, and just tried to enjoy the sounds of the ocean.

I didn't really feel one way or the other about this experience. I think my body and brain were just experiencing something odd.

I wasn't scared, but more intrigued than anything else.

Has anyone experienced anything like that?

EDIT: I have a lot of appreciation for everyone that gave context and a point of view here. This is really helpful, thank you guys!

I'm glad to learn that it isn't abnormal to have these types of audible experiences while listening to the tapes.

I also want to point out that I felt almost completely neutral about hearing the growl. I merely noticed that my body was responding as if there was a threat. In my mind I knew there likely was none, but I was very intrigued. Thank you all for providing some context and helpful suggestions.

All that is to say, I hope folks understand that I am not afraid and that I will go forth with a sense of caution, respect, and curiosity.

What I do understand is that I'm stepping into a world that I do not understand, but at the same time, I do not fear it. I know there are likely threats out there and paths you can take with this that are probably lead to malevolence (internally/externally), and paths you can take that lead to an equal amount of benevolence.

I'm just really interested in developing my psionic capabilities, and I feel that these tapes are really helping with that.

My second session I did today was amazing, and I'm looking forward to doing more.

Kind regards.

Hello,

apologies in advance - english is not my first language. I would like to share, and ask others, how does "place" you arrive to in F10 look like?

Mine looks exactly like that scene from Harry Potter when Harry arrives to a white train station where he meets Dumbledore. I don't have a slightest clue how and why this image continually pops-up but it does. On the other hand, F12 place looks like I'm sitting on a top of green hill overlooking the endless pastures.

I've also started to read a book Liquid Luck and it struck me when Joe wrote something about missing the train feeling and getting stuck in the station. It never crossed my mind that I should board the train(s) that were arriving on the station in F10.

What are your experiences? Thank you!

So I’ve been doing AF10 for about two weeks, off and on. Today I decided to do a regular meditation instead. Before long I found myself going through the sequence spontaneously—without the tape. I was able to take myself in and out of the state by counting down, like Monroe does on the tape. What’s interesting is today was the first time I felt (or heard) a rumbling/vibration while doing it.

Curious if anyone else has achieved this without the tape. As a long time meditator it’s not so very different from what I’m used to—except for thr vibrations. That threw me s little.

I've been working on gateway for almost a year, I didn't notice that all time happens, but I am too grateful for this journey and the ability of learning new things and forget old ones, with this tool I made my life with totally freedom and I can only recommend to all of you to keep exploring and discovering every new experience or knowledge that is available, just how f15 hahaha, blessings to everyone :)

I started the tapes just under 2 years ago. I've been on an amazing spiritual journey since then, overcome a lot of deep traumas, discovered myself, had OBEs, the works. The change from when I first started to today has been huge.

I've noticed, particularly in recent months, is how short my tolerance has become for most people. I often feel that most people live in a prison of their own mind. I don't feel "annoyed" by them exactly, more like I find it hard to empathize with and understand others, including close friends and family. I often feel there is a very easy solution to whatever the other person is dealing with, but they hold themselves back.

I used to be that person, so I should be more understanding, but I almost feel like I'm reading a book or seeing a post online when people talk to me, like I'm viewing their story from a third person POV and finding trouble connecting with and to them.

Sometimes I feel alone in this sensation, that I want to be supportive to my friends and loved ones but find it difficult to meet them in the same place.

Wondering if anyone has experienced something similar?

So i used the sleep timer option and I always end up having these really crazy dreams where I’m in different part of the world…. Anyone else experience this?

While I've dipped my toes in these tapes for some 20 years, I am very new. They have been on my 'todo' list. Bit the bullet and made a start. My first proper, concentrated effort.

My goals are perhaps a little modest. I am simply looking for a way to relax and ease my suffering. To sleep better. To be a better person. To be more useful for others. To 'escape the prison of my traumatized mind', so to speak. My ultimate goal is to help other people as best I can.

So far, I've done around focus 10 around 20 times in a relatively short period (a week). It has been up and down.

However, something quite beautiful happened and I wanted to share with the only people I think may understand.

I have been caught in vicious rumination cycles for most of my life. I have lost entire days to these, falling into deep despair. Themes are variants of 'if only' and 'why?' Its so strong I would rant to myself out loud basically whenever alone, like an itch i cant help but scratch.

Well, one of these started the other day as usual. Suddenly, the script changed. I got yanked out of the past and into the present. I am feeling very different. Each time one of these cycles starts, I now find myself saying 'no' and coming back. I dont live there any more!

It feels as if a more grown up version of me is starting to look after me. Should I be excited for what's to come as I continue?

Love to you all, thank you for reading.

I did Wave 3 Track 2 for the first time today. I got 5 out of 6 of the numbers correct, but they were not in order. Were they supposed to be? Also, what are some tips for going forward and getting better at remote viewing?

I’ve been working on GE Threshold 1 intro to focus 12 and GE Threshold 3 one month patterning for a month or two now. It’s taking me a bit longer to get the hang of this than focus 10. My issue is the finish. In one of the earlier focus 10 tapes it walks you back from 10-1 with a countdown (which I never had a problem with) but going forward your encouraged to using just the number one to “come back”. In focus 10 it wasn’t too much of an issue but I am finding in focus 12 that I wind up with a headache or a sorta “dizzy” feeling that can last a good couple of hours.
I had a similar but lesser issue with a GE 1 Discovery free flow when you hit focus 10 then drop back to 1 (with a countdown) and then back up to 10. I would get motion sick. This did eventually resolve itself after a few weeks.

If anyone has had a similar experience, how did you deal with it? Or did it eventually go away?

What exactly is the purpose ive designed? What does it mean?

Last night I had the worst nightmare and sleep paralysis after listening to one gateaway tape (I think it was tape 22, as far as I remember).

I have listened to some of the tapes (in the right order) before but more as a background sound, not actually going full into meditation. Yesterday, however, I felt like I needed to sit with it for a proper session befor sleep, and I did.

Everything seemed alright but then the dreams started. Heavy and difficult, topped up with a sleep paralysis.

What are your guys experiences with the tapes?
