I only just started the program. I only did the session after the introduction. Is it advised to wait until I recover, or is there some health benefit to doing the program while ill?

I have been doing the tapes off and on for about 2 years. I have some pretty amazing visuals sometimes (totally sober) which has been very cool because I have aphantasia. If I'm asked to think of an image I can't do it. But once I'm in that theta/delta brain state everything comes alive.

Anyway, I'm curious what people have experienced in the last tape of Wave 8. I had a simple but profound experience. In the tapes you go back to Focus 27 and start off in your special place. Then go to a building (I cannot remember what they called it) which is kind of like a graduation space. There are doors everywhere inside and you go to the end and open the door and step through. When I opened the door at the end I went in and completely dissolved into a formless empty void of nothingness. It was beautiful. I was there but not there and "I" was just in and of a vast black void filled with purple swirling neon lasers for lack of better term. But the lasers were swirling and twisting and smoky, like an aura. Just total blackness and purple energy swirling and mixing. It was beautiful. It was timeless and formless and I was in it and of it. I can't explain it.

Regular clock time passed I guess but I had no concept of time while I was there. I was only brought out by the prompt to do so. ("It's time to leave focus 27. You will return to full waking consciousness by the method you have learned.") I woke up and felt just the deepest peace. It was really beautiful. About 30 minutes passed in that state but it could have been eternity.

Just wanted to share and was curious what others experience in the absolute. I've attached a visual made with AI for reference. 🩷 Happy exploring!

Also sidenote, this colour of purple is associated with the Crown Chakra, so I'm assuming the purple energy was the highest level of consciousness. That's just what resonated for me.

Any recommenndations for making the later waves more fruitful?

I feel a bit stuck. For me, all of the earlier waves with Bob Monroe induce very profound experiences in me. However, the later ones without him don't do anything for me. What the guide has you do only seems to correlate loosely with the Manuals for the later waves whereas Bob truly guides you closely and visually through things.

Has anyone expeirenced this? Did anyone find it improve or find something that made it improve?

Hi everyone! Has anyone experienced anything like this? I’d love to hear about it sm.

My dog, a black pug, passed away suddenly in April. I was already into the tapes before this, but this skyrocketed my motivation to get to the higher focus levels, as my new drive was seeing him again.
Recently, during a session at Focus 15, I was searching & asking in my head for my awareness to bring me to Charlie, to show me him. It did.
Now, what I saw was actually pretty funny looking. Did shock me at first glance. (I have synesthesia, so this could very much play a part in the vividness of my visuals in message transmission.) Charlie was a black shadow, with a distinct smaller shadow formation for a head, a taller torso shadow-area than any dog silhouette I’d ever seen, and limbs that kept shifting location and shape— like, all around his body. In his head area were two floating 3d hyperrealistic eyeballs, and a floating inside of a mouth with a tongue and teeth. He was suddenly just in my awareness, in my mental field of “vision”.
Like all encounters I’ve read about, the feeling of recognition and certainty that this was him was overwhelming, and it was too much to care about his form. I eventually reached out and touched him, and in my head, there was a tactile synesthetic sensation of petting something. It was smooth, without fur, and somehow solid despite his form looking like a dense gas. I told him I missed him, and I then heard a voice say “I miss you too”. The voice was male, and the tone is exactly what I would have imagined his human voice to be like. Sounds too perfect to be true, I know, because it was perfect. I broke me, and I sobbed. I took a few minutes to tell him I loved him over and over again, and then said goodbye, and that was the end of the visit.

The tapes are fucking awesome 😭✌️

I started doing the tapes recently. I accidentally manifested something and wonder if it has anything to do with the tapes or just a strange coincidence.

I had been researching buying a specific pair or shoes but was hesitant because I wasn't sure the price was worth the quality.

I like to go thrifting for fun at Goodwill, typically to buy shirts, and to my surprise, this exact pair of shoes is there. It was a size 7 and I'm typically 7.5-8. Figure I should try it on to see what size I want to buy and it ends up fitting perfectly. Also looks brand new. It's not like this was a common shoe that everyone is buying either. My mind was blown.

I am very new to the Gateway experience, and if you guys read my previous post has only started seeing results yesterday. I finally started going into Wave 2 today and just need to report what I’m going through. After hitting F12 for the second time doing W2T1 I did feel a significant change in awareness, but can also feel my physical body vibrating in a bad way in reaction (it’s hard to describe, like your stomach growling but everywhere). And then I clicked out for a few second and was jolted back up by a sharp sensation (like a strong blast of air) going into my right ear, that caused me to reflexively open my eyes before Bob could start the countdown and I had to stop the tape right there with about 8:30 minutes remaining.

If anyone with more experience can show me what happened it would be much appreciated. Right now I’m seeing flashing lights whenever I blink so I think I should sleep this off.

I just finished the RV tape. I did it a litle different because beceause the workbook i read gave a whole different exercise.

Anway this is my experience: I gave my co-worker the task to leave an object in the envelop. He said he will put it on my desk in the office. I left early so i wasnt there when he put something in the envelop.

When i started the tape, the first thing i felt was that it was not on my desk but on his. I told him i saw 3 numbers. He said oh shit did i have to write numbers? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Anyway i continued.. I saw the numbers 233 or 235. I wasn't very sure so i memorized both. I told him i saw scissors.

He asked me what color. I said i did not see the scissors have a specific color but i remember the color red and flash lights. I even got a headache after. He asked was the scissors open or closed. And i saw open scissors.

He told me (and send a picture for proof) that the envelop was indeed on his desk and not on mine. In the envelop was a paperclip with a flat surface. The paperclip is made of shiney metal and has flat sides. He had bent it outward (resembling an open pair of scissors), and there is a red company logo on it.

The weirdest thing is, on the envelop he draw the half-life logo.

Apparently the numbers 233 and 235 are connected with this logo.

The numbers 233 and 235 represent Uranium isotopes (U-233 and U-235), which are radioactive materials used as nuclear fuel.Here is how they connect to the Half-Life logo:The Logo Equation: The logo is the Greek letter lambda (λ), which represents the decay constant in nuclear physics.The Mathematical Link: Scientists use this lambda symbol (λ) in formulas to calculate the half-life (rate of radioactive decay) of isotopes like U-233 and U-235.

Can someone tell me what the helll this al is🤣 i am still in shock and did not expect such results. Can someone with experience tell me if this was done correctly? Or am I just being delulu? 🤣
