Continuing Adventures with Hemi Sync Gateway Experience

I’ve now been following the Monroe Gateway Experience program for a little over two months. I’m still managing on average four sessions per day, and I’ve almost reached the end of Wave IV. I try to do each individual session at least five times with a couple of exceptions where it didn’t seem warranted (e.g. colour breathing). I repeated some of the early sessions 20 times to ensure that I was getting the basics. I still feel like I’m rushing through the program so I do intend to go back and go over everything again. So far this has been a definite positive experience, but there have been plenty of times when I felt like giving up.

Rio Formoso My Personal Battle against Cynicism

I consider myself to be a spiritual person, but I struggle when it comes to adopting any particular belief system. I just keep picking away until I find the holes and this gives me the excuse to be cynical. This is why I’ve not been able to fully embrace Buddhism despite it being such a positive force in my life over many years. I want spiritual teachings that do not rely on any type of faith, but these are in short supply.

There have been more than a few occasions when my cynicism levels have been elevated during my explorations with Bob Monroe. I find it difficult to accept things like remote viewing without evidence. I’m not that bothered if there is a lack of materialistic scientific proofs that would convince a debunker (although there are plenty of experts who make convincing claims that sufficient evidence is already there), but I do need personal experience before I can accept such things. I’m keeping my mind open, and this is only a small part of the Gateway Experience anyway.

The thing that has raised my cynicism the most has been Bob Monroe’s wordiness. He sometimes seems to be saying ten words when one word would do just fine. This can mean that affirmations sound like legal jargon, and it is like he is making things harder than they need to be. This wordiness can be particularly annoying at the end of a session when he reads out a health affirmation – I cynically refer to it as Bob’s blessing. Sometimes I just want the session to end and at these times I feel certain that he is talking complete gibberish.

The thing that is allowing me to overcome my cynicism is that the Gateway Experience is working for me. I’ve now had a few out of body experiences – although these have been mostly brief. I’ve read that some people try for years before they are able to have one OBE so I am grateful for that. I’m also enjoying an impressive increase in dream lucidity and dream recall – most nights I can remember three separate dreams. There have also been other strange experiences that I’ll talk about in a later post.

I am learning that the best way to approach the Gateway Experience is without any expectations. I’ve already achieved some of my initial goals, but the journey is not taking me where I expected it would. It seems to be leading me somewhere better. Some readers who have more experienced with the Monroe Institute did say that this journey would change me, and I don’t doubt them. I am hopeful that I’m going where I need to go and not where my limited imagination wants me to go. Despite my cynicism I’m becoming convinced by the Gateway Affirmation which begins with the words, I am more than my physical body…

I’m not completely sure if the Monroe Institute offers the best program of its kind. I certainly would not suggest that it is going to be a good option for everyone. I’m not here to offer free marketing services for hemi sync. I think that it is a pity that their audio course is so expensive. What I will say is that so far it is working for me so I’m a happy customer.

  1. Just a quick comment about Buddhism: your questioning is exactly what is encouraged. Buddhist teachers always tell you not to take their word for anything; go and explore for yourself to find the truth. This is not a faith, nor a belief system, but a practice. A practice that will ultimately free you of suffering.

    That Buddhism is called a religion at all is purely for labeling purposes, usually for demographics and whatnot. 🙂
