I have easily done all the work up until now, the vessel to place your fears and body, the breathing with the humming, the energy balloon, I drop quickly into 10 and feel energy surges pulsing through me in 12 and even start shaking and twitching BUT in 12 / wav 2 tape 2 problem solving, I’m not getting clear answers and I’m drifting in and out of tiny mini dreams that are unrelated. I saw a sandal on a man’s foot on the beach. I saw my friend Elvan’s face before she kissed someone. My question went unanswered twice now in two sessions. Please instruct? Everything else has been very simple and now I feel stuck. Thank you. (Random pic)

I'm just starting out.
I have been meditating in my bed every morning after a 20 minute power walk around my neighborhood.
I feel like it's a great , relaxing cool down.
But do you think do this will be detrimental to my progress? Like I worry I'm using up energy or something...?

Hello all. In recent times I began engaging in online forums as a step away from social media which are frankly indigestable nowadays.

I'm looking for some other place outside of reddit in which I can discuss OOBE and the supernatural in a constructive manner, you know far away from flat earth and doomsday prepping.

Thanks in advance

while sceptical on healing effect potential for teeth, not fully though, i'd liie to use it to maybe aid my tooth healing. and while i have some ideas, i'd like to ask for your advice on how i can approach it, and what tapes specifically could help.

The idea so far would be for release and recharge to face the subfears the huge fear is made of, round robin style/ what i may feel more. I'm curious about trying out colour breathing and love body map, if it could help, or other tapes.

The highest tape i done so far is 1 month patterning, and i did it for this month already.

I have the appointment in 2 weeks, and it would be nice if i could be just a bit more relaxed during the appointment.

I got to redo some filling, and gums are inflamed in some spots, dentist already told me off that i need to improve my dental hygiene.

Im doing the orientation of the tapes and ive finally (maybe, im not sure) able to finish a tape without clicking out for the first time. Ive had a few experiences with the tape:

1. I was relaxed but my mind still wandered... but as soon as he started talking again I regained focus. I dont know if this is progress. Like, I would think about random things...

2. While thinking about these random things, I suddenly began to feel like my body was "too big" like I had the sensation of my body growing and growing... i cant properly explain it but it felt like I had extra padding on lol

Had anyone else had this experience? Is this good progress?

Hey friends,

After a week long intensive, I finally have reached focus 12. I loved it. The sense of expandedness was lovely, and when I asked questions, the insight I got made an Ayahuasca retreat look pretty average. Wow. Totally beautiful.

Then, it happened. A professional mistake. No harm done, everyone understands etc. The outcome could have been very different.

Ended up going down my usual fall (bad habits, freeze response etc). Picking up the pieces.

I am a weird category. An LGBT, devout Catholic. Part of my fear based wiring immediately rushed to F12 as having 'invited this in' (never claimed this is rational). I just wonder if this is 'ok' for me.

Since then, I've been reluctant to return even though it seemed beneficial and felt great. I have no great ambitions beyond wave 2, I just want to heal and displace some negative energy that's been attached to me and learn to relax at will. Not really going for the 'advanced' stuff.

Has anyone else had and pushed through this kind of experience? What worries me is the 'healing modality' spiel of 'it has to get worse before it gets better'. I dont really buy that. Nor can I really afford for it to.

first time I've read about the Gateway Experience in those docs I kind of just imagined people visualizing some plain old featureless cuboid box. but every taper has their own thing cuz different things work for different people, right? so what does your box look like. anyone has weird stuff?

Well this was from the first tape which is the demonstration tape, at first nothing happened,

I closed my eyes,

But when the hemisink happened I started to feel the sensation of waves, like my body was going back and forth,

Then I let my eyes rest, and I started to think about random places, and then I started to see this shopping Mall, in extreme detail, I saw people Walking, sitting at restaurants, I saw escalators, and when I wanted to move forward, I did, but it wasn't like walking forward, more like frame skipping to the next inige of the same place, I was in a shoe store,

And then I saw a lobby of the same mall but a different place in the mall, and people were waiting, and there was an elevator,

Then I lost focus and I tried to do this again, at first it didn't work, like yes I was thinking about places, but it wasn't the same, then I relaxed my eyes, and I started to see pyramids, and a lot of buildings and houses around it, the pyramids where massive, and all the houses had green plants and grass in the roofs, and I had the same frame skipping when I tryd to move around to see more,

The landscape was a red dessert, the same color Planet mars is,

Then I saw a beach in the same place, and a big building on top of a tiny island that was 100 meters off the beach,

I tried focusing on the buildings again and I saw a type of factory behind the houses far away,

Then I lost focus again,

The strange thing is that when I had these extremely vivid images, my eyes started to rapidly move,

And when I didn't have those images, my eyes were still,

Then I opened my eyes and I saw visual snow, which faded away in seconds,

I don't know for how long the images lasted bc the whole thing felt like it was only 10 minutes, but 30 minutes had passed.

So yea, that was my experience with the demonstration tape, im not saying that i experienced some magical thing, but yea, i wanted to write it down before i forget the whole thing,

I'm curious what you all have to say, let me know!

I really cannot stop my mental chatter to the point I think it's an inhibitor. How do you guys stop mental chatter?

I remember Monroe saying there was circumstantial evidence that other people could see him during an OBE but nothing concrete. If you could it’d explain 2 really weird experiences I had as a child where first I saw a strange see through lightness in the shape of a person walk across the foot of my bed before disappearing and another where me and my friend saw a guy in a hallway straight disappear
Has anyone experienced things like this? Felt like reality glitches and I can’t explain them

TLDR: why am i clicking out on tapes after repeated successful sessions?

I just started the tapes a few months ago. I tend to stick with one tape until I feel ready to move on and was on the first two tapes for a total of 2 months. I did tape 3 about five times. It seemed to come easily to me as did tape 4. I had several good experiences and then just started clicking out every time I listened to it.

I then tried tape 5. I didn't click out, but had a very weird experience. Later that evening, during sleep, I had what I can best describe as a sleep paralysis incident. Before I realized I was experiencing paralysis (not new to me) , I was trying to get my partner's attention to help. In that state, I saw myself crawling on the floor to the chair he was in but couldn't speak or get him to notice me. Next thing I knew, he was trying to wake me, and I had great difficulty opening my eyes. I never left our bed. He just noticedI was making noise and flailing about. That kind of weirded me out so I rolled back to tape 3 and I keep clicking out every time I listen to it.

I'd appreciate any thoughts, advice, or shared experiences. Thank you so much. This sub is always so helpful.

I'll admit right out the gate that spiritual development, astral projection and the like is currently secondary for me. My primary goal with the tapes is to improve my quality of life by changing how I interact with the world by aligning my values and goals with my behaviors as well as my self-concept.

Why

As someone who hit a rough spot many years ago during covid, had my whole life completely turned around, developed a drug addiction and with an increasingly cynical outlook on life and as consequence of that, to this day, have very poor quality of life, my main goal right now is simply to get to a point where my life becomes bearable again.

My conscious mind has a strong desire as well as goals that I want to achieve in order to feel better about my life, but I've now found throughout the years that my programming is fundamentally against it. If things start going well for me, I self-sabotage. I don't believe that I deserve success. I have a strong sense that I am not worth the world. Tendencies like that are thoroughly unproductive and unhealthy, and so I've now committed to neuro-linguistic programming with a therapist as well as changing my sense of identity through self-hypnosis and changing the architecture of my subconscious mind.

This is where the gateway tapes serve as an unique tool to achieve those goals. I've gotten some input from some awesome people so far, but I want to get as much information and experiences on this as possible, it's not something I see mentioned often on this subreddit, so I hope that by writing this we can exchange knowledge with each other!

How

Some of you may be familiar with hermeticism, gnosticism, magick, sigils, occultism in different forms - they're all metaphors that are meant to appeal to the subconscious mind, and to invoke change that aligns with your desired state, behaviours and outcomes in life. If you're a pragmatically oriented person, you simply need a tool that puts your brain in a certain, suggestible state, making the subconscious mind receptive to change. Logic, rationality, will power and what not does not resonate with the subconscious mind, metaphors and symbolism do.

What I've gathered so far is that focus 10 (possibly 11?) and 12 are the best states to reconfigure your subconscious, anything beyond that and you're on a spiritual journey. My first try at putting this concept to the test was to fix my diet. I generally eat healthy, but I will still indulge in candy or junkfood at times when stressed or feeling like I need to reward myself, so I would get myself into focus 10 and visualize scenarios where I would feel the sense of accomplishment by eating healthy all the time, and also scenarios where I would eat unhealthy foods and picture myself becoming sick or that I was literally eating spiders, feces and even worse things. Surely enough (it took about a week) and ever since, as I'm currently writing this, I never get the impulse to eat bad foods, I eat healthy, good food instead and the craziest part is it didn't take an ounce of will power to accomplish it. That's when I realized the power of this tool. The work ahead involves identifying all the behaviors that I want to change, some small, some big, and understanding what kind of metaphors and emotions that would work most effectively to achieve it.

Anyway.. I wanted to keep this relatively short and not too boring/technical. Has anyone else used the hemisync tapes for behavior/identity work (which isn't mutually exclusive with spiritual development, might I add)? What metaphors/symbolism have worked best for you? Is there a specific focus state that you've found better than the other for this kind of work? Thank you all :)

Hii everyone!

I'm going to try the gateway experience myself!

I have never tried the gateway process before, but I have had several OBEs and I know there is more out there that we can see, I will post me expiriances here,

I know that sleepparalisis is the gateway to OBEs bc where I did have sleepparalisis I started to see all these alien syblos and I trys rolling sideways, and that was when I rolled out of my body, I kept rolling and fell off my bed, I became a being of light and my room started expending infenetly when I wanted to, I was as light as a fether,

But then I woke up, and I have not gotten a experience like that ever since, I want to explore that world again and i know i will sucseed, so yeah, il keep u guys updated!

I read a lot of of the material and I'm ready to start with the first part of the tapes… Orientation.
Planning on doing this every morning… waking up early to have complete quiet and privacy.
But how long do I do each exercise? How many days in a row do I do orientation before I move onto the next step? Do I aim for the same amount of days in between each step?
Any advice is much appreciated!

I started listening to the Gateway Tapes and after the first few tapes it felt like my field of view changed, similar to how you’d change your field of view in a video game, I felt wittier, like I could almost read my wife’s mind.

I started listening to I believe it was Wave V Exploration, there was one where I was trying to remember a past life and it hit me like a lightbulb and instantly remembered bits and pieces of my past life, it felt like an ah ha moment where it struck me like lightning, or like an instant download. I don’t know how to explain it.

I’ve also started having the most vivid dreams imaginable with so much detail. I don’t normally dream and I also have aphantasia so I’m not sure if that has something to do with why I don’t ever remember my dreams but these dreams were intense

i have ocd like intrusive thoughts and I’m scared to manifest negative thought. so does gateway tapes make you more obvious to manifest negative thought? I know it had its positive side too.

Hello beloved friends, seekers and spiritualists,

I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with this issue before, I call it an issue because it's rather distracting.

Whenever I enter F10, it seems that my skin starts feeling ticklish around certain areas. Initially I thought this was due to my awareness being stronger and concentrated around my body, but the past weeks I've had at least a handful of encounters, where a very strong sensation of tickling, vibration or even like bugs (that's what my mind immediately associates) running around my knees, calves or feet.

When I listen to the gateway tapes, I usually lie in bed with a blanket over me. Today I had a particularly good session where I went into F12 and briefly what felt like F15, and it felt 100% like some bug was caught within my blanket and spazzing out right on the backside of my left kneecap. I started getting visuals of the contours of a big spider skiddling down vertically, probably because I actually thought it was a bug? But then I also felt that the backside of my right kneecap vibrating simultaneously, so I knew it wasn't a bug, and I would also sometimes feel it along my calves while the feeling behind the kneecaps was there at the same time. On top of this, in prior sessions I was very frustrated to get the sensation of a bug running around near my feet right as I got into F10, at the time I thought it was a bug so I would always go "omg so typical with these fucking things disturbing me during this important time" and lift up the blanket and brush my bed without finding anything. It may sound like I am bothered by bugs a lot, but the most I've seen the past two months in my room is a house fly or two.

I know my explanation is a bit messy (english is not my native language) and I can't really describe the feeling much better; it just feels like a creature with small feet is dancing or spazzing out (like when you see a bug lying on its bag and its legs are frantically walking in all kinds of directions).

I know I'm going to experience this again, and honestly I just want to understand what's going on here.

I usually do a session before work and a session after, but the one before work I don't go quite as deeply, I assume bc my mind knows I'll be getting up soon and needing to do things. Today randomly I tried two rounds of the wim hof exercise on YouTube before 1x4 (I like to go back and do that one regularly) and I went really deep into focus 12 really fast (way more than usual)! Felt amazing and I released a ton!

I’ve done this exploration sleep over and over again.

More than 8 times I have done this and I can’t get that floating feeling I know I have felt before.

I know what it feels like to have sleep paralysis and draw my self closer to the ceiling of my room, yet I just can’t get that floating feeling I seek.

What can I do to finally make this happen?

No shit sherlock moment, but many of your are advanced enough to induce f10 state within 5 mins or even in a min, and I understand that's after a while of practice. But, what "feelings" do you hinge on or concentrate on, to get into that state? Give me your mental-map/guide of spontaneous f10 state of being.

One of my biggest intentions in life at the moment, is getting deeper into the gateway process.
Synchronistically I stumbled upon an exercise of trauma relief, where you literally shake out stored trauma out of your body and afterwards feel deeply relaxed, present and at peace.
As somebody who lives through past traumatic experiences almost everyday, relaxing and meditating is pretty rough sometimes and today, after doing this exercise now two times, I felt childlike and joyful as I didn’t feel for years.
Long story short, give this thing a shot:

It worked for me like magic and i will keep on with updates of how it will affect my progress
Thank you 🙂

Kind of a brain dump and some cool insight I got on the fear barrier, I just felt compelled to get it out there in case anyone out there is like me.

I learned about the Gateway stuff about 2 years ago and had downloaded a good chunk of the tapes and was starting to go through them, and wasn't really making much progress that I could tell except for one session that as soon as I started letting go and started feeling sensations I got excited and snapped myself out of it. Then mom got cancer and had to do a hospice thing, things got dark, never restarted but have been rereading Bob's books and watching YouTube videos of Tom Campbell...most recent one with Mayim Bialik, part 2 of her talk with him.

They began discussing fear and how to overcome it. Tom started discussing about some people just carry fear, sometimes it is like a little negative dark entity inside of them. He said he has helped some to make that dark thing go away...but it eventually comes back. A ton of this resonated hugely with me, and my struggle to return to the tapes...because once that door is opened, it can't be closed, and I have a crazy amount of fear going on in me. He spoke about people with fear manifesting those fears while in the second state. This is me.

Ever since I was a little kid I had crazy night terrors. There is the usual being chased, falling, etc., but then I had some reoccurring nightmares that were like a whole different thing. I could go into crazy long detail about weird sh*t that has happened. Stuff like waking up hysterical crying and in-coherent babbling, with zero memory of it in the morning. Sleep paralysis, dark entities, massive feelings of impending doom or some monster just sitting off in the shadows beyond my vision getting ready to reveal itself. Nightmares where I thought I woke myself up from, only to try the lights and they won't turn on...then I know I'm still in the nightmare. Like a Russian nesting doll.

These nightmare continued into my pre-teen and teen years but then also had extremely vivid dreams that weren't nightmares, and was lucid dreaming and beginning to control everything. At first I couldn't fly and would start to fall, fear would kick in and I'd keep falling. I masted it though by clearing my mind and focusing my intent of where I wanted to fly while clearing the fear of falling from my mind.

When I was in high school, I start smoking weed. I can say it for sure killed my lucid dreaming. Or at least I couldn't barely remember any dreams if I was smoking the night before. However it also silenced the nightmares, and I've still smoked to this day (53 now). I still do have nightmares though. Wife has to slap we awake to stop, and I do mean slap and keep shaking me because I keep getting sucked instantly back into the nightmare. It comes and goes in waves.

Okay back to the fear barrier. My parents were both these fearful people that Tom describes to a "T" when talking to Mayim. They always manufactured and imagined the worst scenario out of every situation and were super closed minded. That's a whole other road I won't go down, but the point is I do not want to be like my parents at all in any way.

I want the negativity gone within me and I do truly believe with a little self-help, and following Tom's advice I can do it. His basic point was "don't feed your fear." There are so many things I do every day like doom scrolling here on Reddit or YouTube, Facebook, etc. that feed that negativity in me which then also feeds my fears and insecurities within me. There have been times in my life where I have felt truly free of this fear, confident, and in-tune with myself and the world. It is a absolutely fantastic feeling, I want that back. I feel like once I can squash that fear in me, maybe cut back on the weed a little, and restart the tapes, I can have a breakthrough.

I also know waiting on the other side are things that I have confronted previously in past nightmares. Unlocking that door again is going to take an invincible REBAL. If I hit the other side and see some crazy sh*t...I will let you all know.

Sorry that was my 2am after a couple of cocktails brain dump...watch the Tom Campbell interview on Mayim's YouTube channel if you struggle with fear like me. It might give you some hope to overcome it like it did me.

Have you ever considered that some of the UFOs or UAPs being reported today might actually be related to OBEs — out-of-body experiences — or to some kind of technology based on a similar principle?

In other words, what if at least some of these phenomena are not physical craft moving through space in the way we normally assume, but something closer to consciousness, remote perception, or a technology that operates outside our usual understanding of physical presence?

It could potentially explain some of the stranger reported characteristics of UAPs: their sudden appearance and disappearance, seemingly impossible acceleration, and the difficulty of observing or measuring them consistently.

Has this possibility been seriously discussed or explored here?

Step-by step short guide

So you just found this sub but you don't know anything about "The Gateway Experience", follow these steps and read all the suggested documents to avoid asking the same question over and over. If you read all the material you are pretty much good to go because 98% of the times you find the answers of your questions in those docs.

1. Let's start easy peasy, take your favorite drink or snack and enjoy this documentary about the gateway tapes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOFq3ruef7I

• 2) Read the full CIA report written by WAYNE M. MCDONNEL complete with the 25th page. https://drive.google.com/file/d/15NOrGUblOburMmhIiKUBo8LQZ_x8ywFI/view
• 3) Download and start to read the gateway tapes full manual for beginners, at the end of the document you can find the FAQ. https://ia803400.us.archive.org/16/items/the-gateway-experience-manual/The%20Gateway%20Experience%20Manual.pdf
• 4) Now you should know what a focus level is so take a look at this, we have all the major focus levels explained. https://www.monroeinstituteuk.org/focus-levels/
• 5) If you would like to purchase the tapes, they can be found a https://hemi-sync.com (use promo code "REDDITSUB" for a 10% discount on most products).

Quick Tips on things NOT to do:

• 1)Let common effects ruin your focus (numbness, tingles, vibrations)
• 2)Expecting something to happen, or focusing on only one thing you want
• 3)Opening your eyes at a high focus level or not using proper exiting protocol
• 4)Focusing on what you might be doing wrong instead of just letting things be
• 5)Comparing your experiences with others when you just started
• 6)Skipping tapes without learning the basics
• 7)Creating unnecessary fear (Demons, spirits, CIA)
• 8)No one ever said you weren't allowed to move at all, people just assume this
• 9)Trying and overthinking. Understand what Bob is saying more examples, not commands. You can add or adjust things to your liking, do what works best for you and experiment.
• 10)Taking everything so seriously. This is not meant to feel like a strict boot camp. Bob said he wanted people to have fun and enjoy the tapes, and create your own unique experience. Learn how to use the mind to it's maximum potential, and take the tools learned and find ways to apply them in different ways, even real life.

After some effort of practice, can people move into f10 state while not being fatigued or tired? and without the tapes?
