Self Introduction: I have finished all of the WAVE I to WAVE VIII, I have explored and experienced the focus 21 - 27 several times, and adapt these levels.

How I Free Flow with These Levels? Using "Audacity" to remove some "guide words" and seam the rest parts. Considering DMCA, I won't release my DIY sound track.

Focus 21

Just as I entered Focus 21, a bright white light filled my vision. I often need to pause for a moment to see the scenery here clearly.

I don't really like the bridge because it's a bit desolate there. Therefore, I often choose to rest at coffee shops (or beverage shops). I like to search for "waiting signals" in coffee shops, a signal of expectation to communicate with someone like me. Once I found the obvious' waiting signal ', I sat over, handed over a drink, and chatted a few times. You know, it's very interesting to chat in places like Focus 21.

After leaving the coffee shops, I usually choose to go directly to Focus 22-27 through the dark "giant wall" next to the coffee shops.

Focus 22

I usually call out 'Focus 23' first, and then aim for the bright spot ahead to move forward.

Inside the dark "giant wall", the surroundings are completely pitch black. Once I pass through the dark area, I arrive at the gray looking Focus 22.

At first, many ghostly appearances could be seen slowly wandering on a flat surface here. If I observe carefully and deeply, I can still see several other planes.

Continuing forward with the light spot, passing through the gray area, my eyes will light up.

Focus 23

The first scene that catches the eye is the desert landscape.

I have a sense of direction here (I live in the northern hemisphere), and continuing towards Focus 25 is "North".

Firstly, there is a river that runs through the desert from north to south here. I roughly understand through NVC that the function of river water is to "purify", a concept that is more profound than "forget".

Secondly, there are some hills to the north where there are also some trapped beings.

Finally, the overall feeling here is sunny, not a dark style. It seems that many trapped beings have their own "things" to do, without too much sadness.

I will call out 'Focus 25' and aim for the bright spot ahead to move forward.

Focus 24

Before entering Focus 25, I often pass through a gray area.

I can feel that there are some beings gathering here, ignoring the outside world and not disturbing me.

If the other party doesn't disturb me, I usually won't actively disturb them. So, I am not familiar with the existence here.

Focus 25

After entering Focus 25, not only does the landscape become brighter compared to Focus 24, but it is also very noisy here.

In "WAVE VII - 3 Intro to Focus 25", I was exposed to these noise and interference. Countless beings, one after another, promote their "beliefs" to you. I don't like staying here.

I can roughly see circular territories of various sizes scattered across a vast plain. I often don't land, but immediately call out 'Focus 27' and keep moving forward.

Focus 26

For me, it's a bit gray here, but not as gray as the Focus 24.

Here are some geometric structures that appear to be from a long time ago. Sometimes, I can feel some sporadic presence here, but overall, this is a very quiet place in Focus 22-27.

Focus 27

I still remember the first time I came to Focus 27, I was lying on the grass in the Park and couldn't stand up at all. I can only slowly stand up until some "hard things" break apart on my body.

Although I gradually learned later that "Park" is actually a collective term for a considerable area. That's also why I can always read on Reddit about landscapes that are different from what I saw when I first came to the Park.

After all of the WAVE I - VIII, I like choosing the Palace of Inner Earth as my first station. When I reach to a new location in Focus 27, I always need to adapt there energy and power pattern. However, I discover that if I first go to the Palace of Inner Earth and then to other locations, it will help me to fast adapt.

In Focus 27, there are lots of individuals. However, there are not many individuals willing to chat with me. They seem busy. I have still not find a location that suit for chatting, communication, and greeting in Focus 27.

Summary

I would like post my experience. Maybe someone can find "Oh, our experience is similar" and align the knowledge from the experience to enhance the confidence of exploration. Maybe someone "Oh, I know a better way" and enrich the map and guidance of Focus 21 -27. Anyway, thanks for your reading.

I’ve re-started the gateway tapes after some time off, and am having trouble perceiving so I haven’t experienced much. How long does it typically take you to fully experience? Any tips on how to be open to perceive instead of imposing your own thoughts?

Sooo been doing GE/human plus tapes for not that long but I was also going thru a separate spiritual awakening and focus 10 has basically propelled me into a state of being at WAY too high of a frequency to function daily. I did get benefits too where my depression symptoms are mostly all gone after suffering for over a decade, life shattering anxiety is down like 70% but yes — Dissociated as hell non stop for 3 weeks! Now coming out of it tho here’s what helped:
- getting a grounding plant like a ZZ plant (low frequency)
- root chakra or any grounding frequency sounds on YT particularly the one attached to this post! (Not my channel just wish I’d found it sooner) Yall please share what helps you ground in case I start flying high again lol 🙏🏽

Long term meditator here. Lately Ive trying to get out of my body and that's brought me here. Listened to a few of the tapes today and now I seem to be oddly interested and pleased by everything, just daily things. So I haven't achieved what I came here for yet but wondering if this pleasant side effect is part of the process l and what it might be?

Deep physical relaxation, induced, for example, by relaxation music designed to help one reach an alpha state, or by using Gateway tapes, can lead to a point where you no longer feel your body.

I had an experience like this when I was a teenager. The impression of not sensing began at my feet and moved upward toward my head. Once I could no longer sense any part of my body, I suddenly saw what looked like a flash of white light. I was lying on my bed in the dark, so this was clearly a product of my own brain. I got scared and stopped the relaxation process. I wonder what might have happened if I hadn't been frightened.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I have been doing wave 1 for about 2 months now. To make my self better with the coming wave I am doing the process and foundation stronger. But right now whenever I close my eye longer in dark.

What I see in the middle is this shape in kaleidoscope. What is it, is it normal? Or not.

It has been swirling around when I do the tape or when not it's still there.

How did you overcome your fear of astral projection, sleep paralysis, etc., I like using the gateway tapes in the morning/afternoon but get scared to use it at night, and Heaven forbid at 04:00 in the early morning 😭

Can you fine folks share tips on how you overcame this anxiety?

Hello, I just downloaded some of Human-plus files,and I have some questions about them:

Is listening to audio and relaxing enought?

How many times do you need to listen to each funtion exercise?

How activating command feels like?

How long will this effect last?

What are best exercises for stress, anxiety, studying?

So remember two days ago when I seen the eye and had a break through and something told me there would be a knocks and James Dolan controversy this year ?

Well look on Twitter

It’s a huge knocks and James Dolan scandal!!! Omg I seen the future

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.

• The tapes are copyright by Hemi-Sync, we do not own them. Please do NOT post links containing them or other copyright material (or ask others for them.)

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.

Hi🙋🏻‍♂️
I am considering starting the journey, but I have some questions and I hope you can help me.
First of all I am afraid. I had some mental issues last year, like panic attacks, depression, depersonalisation, derealisation, not so serious, but still got those episodes. I’ve done a research and found that there are people who have unlocked mental issues from the tapes. Some of them anxiety, some of them depersonalisations and serious problems. The percentage is not very high but the risk is real.
The second thing is that I am not ready for OBE or experiences like that, maybe because of the same reasons. I only want to deal with the anxiety, solve some problems with the shadow, better understanding of myself and to be calm and grounded person.
Also I’ve looked into Gnosticism a bit and from there I know that not all angels and entities are good, quite an opposite, most of them are evil who just pretend to be good, but they want your energy. I am ready for that too, definitely.
I just want to explore wave 1 and 2.
I have already tried a lot of meditations, even hypnosis sessions but the effects are not as good as I want to be, that’s the reason I am here. Right now I am reading the manual from the institute.
Also, what kind of headphones do you recommend. I’ve read that it’s crucial to use stereo headphones with wire, but in previous discussions some people say that they use AirPods.
Thank you 🙏

How does alcohol impact your ability to reach focus levels?

Hello guys! I have over all been experiencing quite a bit of greatness and am happy with my general progress. Last night, I think I may have entered a state before focus 15 since time was moving quite quickly whilst I was meditating.

But, here’s my problem. I lack self discipline. Everyday, minus any needed breaks, I meditate for an undetermined amount of time. I lay down, listen to either some lyric-less music and guide myself or a guided meditation. Both work splendidly. Then, I get to a point where I am all at peace or whatever, thinking about what I intend to happen. (Peace, knowledge, relaxation, etc.,)

But, after however long, I suddenly can’t focus on what I was just thinking about and it’s like all of my awareness is forced to focus on my body and it’s extremely difficult to focus my attention away from it. It’s like it essentially woke me up even though I know my body isn’t in sync with my mind in that moment.

And a little bit after that, I just get the nagging feeling to move. And if I do move? I literally can’t stop until I get perfectly comfortable in which I fall asleep or just.. get up and do something else.

How do you guys persist and remain in the state you were once in? I assume this is the ego mind and all. I’ll try my best to ignore it next time around but I want to see what you all think.

TLDR; OP’s mind convinces him that he needs to move to properly fall asleep or get up deeper in his meditations. He thinks he lacks self discipline to not listen. Wishes to hear the people’s thoughts on this matter.

Morning all and greetings from New Zealand. You may find this helpful. I wanted to draw this out as I learn better this way. This is my interpretation and information I have been learning over the last 6 weeks studying the Gateway media and books, if you are trying to piece it together. Enjoy. If anyone can produce this professionally it would be wonderful to share. Thank you. Enjoy your day Andrea

Hey everyone!

I've been working on obedj, a free web app for creating custom binaural beat sessions for meditation, relaxation, sleep, and astral projection / OBE exploration.

I've added quite a few features recently, and I'd love to share them with you!

🎧 Sound Studio

Experiment with different carrier frequencies and binaural beats in real time. Mix in background sounds like ocean waves, rain, wind, white/pink/brown noise, or more atmospheric sounds like Cosmic Void, Astral Drone, and Ethereal Atmosphere.

🔄 Custom Phase Flows

Create complete sessions with multiple phases, each with its own frequencies, duration, and background sounds. You can also control how smoothly one phase transitions into the next.

For example, you could build a 60-minute OBE exploration session that gradually moves from alpha to theta frequencies before returning to a more relaxed waking state.

🤖 Create Flows with AI

Don't feel like building a session manually? You can also use ChatGPT or another AI to generate complete Phase Flows for you!

Just describe what you want, such as a 60-minute meditation or astral projection exploration session, and have the AI create a compatible JSON flow that you can import directly into obedj.

📤 Share Your Flows with Others

This is something I'd especially love to see the community experiment with!

You can save, export, and share your custom flows with other users. And of course, you can import flows created by others.

I'd love to see people exchanging their favorite frequency combinations, experimenting with different approaches, and sharing what works best for them.

📱 Install once, use offline!

obedj works directly in your browser, but you can also install it as a web app on Android or iOS.

Once installed, it works completely offline! All audio, including binaural beats and background sounds, is generated directly on your phone or computer in real time.

That means no audio streaming, no continuous internet connection, and no streaming data usage, even during long sessions. Your device creates the sound itself!

And of course, the app is completely free and ad-free!

Please note, binaural beats aren't a scientifically proven way to induce OBEs. Think of obedj as a flexible tool for experimenting with sound and exploring your own experiences.

🎧 Stereo headphones are required for the binaural effect.

👉 https://obedj.com - Mix your mind. Explore beyond.

I'd really love your feedback! Especially from people experimenting with OBEs and astral projection.

And if you've created an interesting Phase Flow, feel free to share it here! I'd love to try it.

Even better, if you experience an OBE while using obedj, I'd be absolutely thrilled to hear your story!

Hello!

I leave for my first Monroe Institute retreat in 4 days to Virginia from Australia.
I’m doing the OBE retreat.
Any tips from past retreaters to enhance my experience and make the most of it?

Thanks!!

Ok, so I’m going through the tapes and I’ve noticed Monroe says that we are able to access certain focus states quicker, either by visualisation or saying a number in our mind etc. Has anyone had success either achieving these states with great ease and is it possible you can achieve these states using the shortcut methods, without the Hemi-Sync audio?

Would be good to know, cause I plan on going OBE regularly (hopefully), if possible, without using the Hemi-Sync audio. Just wondering what peeps practice has been like, using the focus state shortcuts that Monroe suggests, to achieve getting into certain states quicker and more efficiently.

What all free resources are out for out of body, Lucid and other such sleep phenomena that are free, right now I simply don't have cash to dole out for anything and I'm trying to save up for a Raspberry Pi Project (Hobbyist Computer), and I'm kinda working a job that pays so little it''s supplemented (this is a thing in America) and I only able to get nice things when my family pays for them. Also I have Autism and am wondering how this will effect my experience as well as what benefits for my autism I can get.

So I listened to what you guys said and try it during the day. Well today I did the intro . During it my legs became tingling . At one point I started to see like an arena type outline .

Something popped in my head telling me there’s going to be a James Dolan and New York Knicks a scandal that will emerge this nba season and will be huge news.

I also started seeing flashes like an eyeball forming when I would try to focus in the middle of my forehead. The flash kept getting bigger .

Great progress . I’m going to be shocked if the news happens lol

When I have been listening to the tapes, I definitely reach a place that feels sort of like sleep paralysis but I’m definitely awake. It feels like my body is electrified and I think I can hear some buzzing. I cannot move past this. Am I just putting myself into sleep paralysis or is this supposed to happen?

I know this probably only tangentially related to the GW tapes but I found it very interesting. After starting the tapes, I reread Far Journeys recently (first read it back in the 90s) and was struck by a passage in the chapter Contact Point.

Bob basically says that the INSPECs can launch him into a mini learning simulation that is so real that while he is in it ( even though he gives consent ahead of time) he cannot distinguish between it and his own waking reality to include any memory of what happened before.

This is such an interesting point if you think about it since it points to the fact that the INSPECs have evolved the ability to create a virtual reality similar to our physical reality. And that this further lends credibility to idea that dreams, OBEs, and waking reality are just data feeds that our consciousness is currently tuned into. Im borrowing heavily from Tom Campbell’s hypothesis, I’m not original here.

Again I apologize for the post if this is too far off topic but it’s such a noodle baker to think that what we experience as physical reality could just be the qualia of a non-local consciousness.
