INSTRUCTIONS FOR WAVE 1 - DISCOVERY INTRO
Discovery #1: Orientation
The tools, exercises, and experiences you will discover or each tape in the Discovery album build upon the tools, exercises, and experiences of the previous tape. Indeed, each tape and album in the Gateway Experience builds upon the same features of the previous tapes and albums. The more intimate and proficient you become with each tape, the more you will be able to explore and master the next tape or album. By carefully and patiently using Discovery, you will build a solid foundation within you that will enable you to get the most out of this in-home training system. It is also recommended that you perform each exercise as instructed at least the first time you listen to it. Then, you may choose to innovate and do something else. Let your experience during the tape guide you. Stay open to change and flow with your experience. Don't force anything. If you are curious about the content of each tape, you may first listen to it objectively, over speakers.
In Discovery, repetition of tapes is advancement. Each time you listen to a tape, you become stronger, clearer, and more masterful with it. Return to basic tapes for reinforcement; doing so will deepen your experiences and is strongly recommended. Various tools are developed in Discovery to create bridging as one begins to detect and focus the strong energies we call “non-physical.” These are often perceived as electrical or vibratory sensations, as well as motion, heat, or pressure. These energies can flow in Focus 10, and can, depending on your choice, influence physical reality. To use these tapes effectively, please familiarize yourself with the Tape-Taking Recommendations on page 17. The following sections refer directly to processes on this tape: Hemi-Sync Hemispheric synchronization is demonstrated in a simple way by placing a steady tone in one ear, then a different steady tone in the other ear. As these different tones are blended together in the brain, the binaural beat or wavering sound you hear is a brain-produced phenomenon created as both hemispheres act in unison. Such signals can stimulate specific states of consciousness, which are automatically learned and then can be recreated from memory. Hemispheric synchronization focuses your attention, thereby enhancing creativity and problem solving, and providing a greater awareness of your overall environment. Consider light waves as an example of the Hemi-Sync process. Radiant light sources, such as sunlight or a lamp's tungsten filament, are incoherent in that energy is produced with random timing, and focusing directs an irregular stream of photons to a specific area. In turn, the laser (light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation) is uniquely pure (of the same wavelength) and coherent (waves are in phase or synchronized). Imagine the implications of our ability to focus consciousness using the lamp and laser metaphor: with training in consciousness, our minds have the potential to become lamps turned lasers. As a result, our abilities to learn, focus our minds, and direct our thoughts are automatically amplified. Using Hemi-Sync, the specific exercises in the Gateway Experience provide a means for laser-like focusing of human consciousness.
Volume Adjustment
Adjust the volume so that it is just within your hearing range. As you listen to the tape, your senses will become heightened, more sensitized. If the volume is too high, you may feel startled when you hear verbal instructions during different stages of the exercise. Do not readjust your headphones again during the tape. Shifts in volume of the Hemi-Sync frequencies are intentional. A high volume will not enhance the effectiveness of the FFR or masked sound patterns. In fact, it may reduce the benefits of the exercise. Surf Ocean surf-waves of natural energy in action is a symbol of the Monroe audio system: you will learn to perceive, tune, and control waves of your own natural vibrational energy. It is important to understand that you will be learning to control your energy better. As a result, you will be able to attune yourself to, or harmonize with, your environment in more varied and meaningful ways than ever before. This will enable you to establish resonance with, rather than control over, other people and nature.
Energy Conversion Box
Create in your mind a “box,” a part of your personal space that, for the duration of any exercise, can be filled with all your worries and concerns, and then can be set aside, leaving you free and unencumbered. Create it in your mind, even if you don't see, hear, or feel it. Make it really yours, so it will work with you by giving you the space to detach yourself from whatever is holding you back. You may design your own box: perceive it as simple or ornate, conventional or high-tech, physical or non-physical. In other words, it may be an old, wood chest or an intricately designed marble container; it may be a vacuum cleaner or a nuclear particle collector; or it may be a lead-lined box or a sphere of light. You may also find that your box changes in size, shape, or colour as you progress. Allow it to change, and use it as a symbol of your changes and growth. Put concrete symbols of worries or distractions into your box. For example, use your billfold as a symbol for money concerns, your watch as a symbol for time concerns, or a photograph representing someone who is on your mind. Experiment. Gateway participants have discovered marvellous things to set aside: a tiny version of the physical world with themselves outside; lists of limiting words like can't, won't and isn't; anchors to both the past and the future; assumptions about both success and failure; symbols of defences resembling a series of masks. A man once spent a whole exercise trying to force his box open: he tore at it, pried, and ordered it to open, all to no avail. Baffled, he stopped and confronted his box, and in the sudden knowing of Focus 10, he realized force doesn't work, and with one gentle movement, he opened his box. You may also want to return to your box during an exercise. Place whatever you wish in your box whenever you feel like doing so.
The Gateway Affirmation
I am more than my physical body. Because I am more than physical matter, I can perceive that which is greater than the physical world. Therefore, I deeply desire to Expand, to Experience; to Know, to Understand; to Control, to Use such greater energies and energy systems as may be beneficial and constructive to me and to those who follow me. Also, I deeply desire the help and cooperation, the assistance, the understanding of those individuals whose wisdom, development, and experience are equal to or greater than my own. I ask their guidance and protection from any influence or any source that might provide me with less than my stated desires.
The Gateway Affirmation serves several purposes: It helps you focus your attention on what you want to accomplish during any exercise. It helps you focus your intent, thereby enabling you to become more aware of your expanding consciousness. It gives you permission to respond to, and work with, other energy and energy systems. Plus, it helps you stay, relaxed and open to a variety of helpful influences.
Resonant Tuning
Resonant Tuning is a breathing exercise to help you vitalize and charge your entire system. It promotes an accelerated gathering of your vibrational energy while reducing your internal dialogue. In addition to preparing you for these exercises, you may use Resonant Tuning for meditation or quieting your thoughts. What is referred to in this Guidance Manual as nonphysical energy, Robert Monroe calls second-state energy. This vital energy flows along lines of force, operating on the principle that our bodies, as well as the universe, function bilaterally, and like batteries, have a positive pole, and a negative pole. Breathing exercises are a universal method of vitalizing and recharging your “battery,” moving this energy through its natural channels in and around the body, loosening knots and blockages, and correcting imbalances. Within the tape exercises, this process can manifest as sudden jerks and twitches, or even as a sensation resembling pain. Odd as it may sound, resistance increases this phenomenon. But by confronting the experience and allowing it to work itself out, you will move beyond it.
During the breathing exercises, follow the pacing on the tape to the extent that it is comfortable for you. As the Resonant Tuning chant begins on the tape, continue the same breathing pattern, vocalizing with the “aaah,” “oooh,” and “uuum” sounds as you exhale. Set your own rhythm, your own pace. Use the sounds on the tape only as a guide. It is important that you actually make the sounds with your physical vocal cords. You will soon grow comfortable with this process and you may notice kinaesthetic responses as your body becomes aligned with resonant energy. As you inhale, imagine an infinity of sparkling, vibrant, vital energy around you. Pull it into all parts of your body and up into your head. Since energy continues to flow, allow the energy to move and swirl gently around in your head as you hold your breath. Exhale through your lips as if you were softly blowing out a candle, releasing any tired, stale energy out through your body and the bottoms of your feet. Breathing slightly deeper than you normally would is just as effective as explosive, championship breaths. Open your eyes as you inhale, and close them as you exhale. Coordinating your eye movement with your breathing is one way to become aware of your ability to control autonomic (automatic) behaviour. Typically, eye blinking and breathing are accomplished without the slightest thought on your part. Now, however, you will plant a seed that may grow into a full realization that you can assume voluntary control over these processes. In other words, you can recognize, change, and direct habitual behaviour and reflexes. Should you relax to the extent you seem to have lost contact with everything physical, simply breathe normally and open your eyes, or move the fingers of your right hand, and your entire body will respond and return to waking, physical consciousness.
Focus 3
Focus 3 is a signpost on the way to Focus 10, a Hemi-Sync state where your brain and mind are more coherent, synchronized, and balanced. You will move to Focus 3 by a conventional count of one to three. Return to Full Waking Consciousness At the end of every tape exercise, you will hear a strong audio signal designed to bring you to a state of full, waking consciousness (C-1 ). Despite the temptation to take off your headphones early, listen to this signal until it is withdrawn. It will bring you completely “back” from the exercise. The more you bring yourself back from an exercise, the further you can go into your next exercise.
