Where did you, and where can I purchase the gateway series?
I downloaded the series through a torrent client, however I believe it's available for purchase at http://www.hemi-sync.com. PM me if you have any questions...
I acquired the Gateway series a few days ago and wanted to share my experience with Wave 1 so far. During my first run-through I didn't experience too much *visually*, however at some point I had the impression of an open expanse before me... like if I were able to open my eyes I would find myself looking out over a vast ocean of stars or something. Additionally, there came a point where I felt like I was floating over an ocean (or seascape, actually) being gently blown from side to side as I listened to the gentle crashing of waves on the CD. This was more of an impression than anything I suppose, but it was extremely vivid. I finished the session feeling invigorated, but wasn't sure whether I had achieved F10 or not.
Last night I gave it another go and had some remarkable experiences. During my first session of the night I found my ability to run through the process to F10 had improved somewhat... I fumbled around a bit with the exercises, but began experiencing what I might describe as bi-location. At some points I had the impression that I was both on my couch in my living room and standing on the shore of an ocean at the same time. I found I could switch perspectives quite easily by simply drawing (or focusing) my attention from one "place" to the other. I finished the exercise feeling satisfied at some degree of success, but after a short break I decided to give it another shot. At some point during the session it came to my attention that I wasn't merely hearing Bob's voice in my right ear any longer... he was actually walking beside me! I turned to face him directly and saw that he was speaking the words that I was hearing through my headphones. I recall thinking that this was a curious state of affairs (talk about unexpected surprises!). At this point it occurred to me that I had apparently achieved a definitive focus shift without fully realizing a transition had occurred along the way. The session ended shortly afterwards.
Two questions:
First, has anyone else had a similar experience with the Gateway series? Second, is it safe to say I achieved F10, or did I go beyond it? How would I know?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this...
