Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210061-5 ) THE EXPLORER PROFESSIONAL DIVISION OPENS At long last, 1980 heralds the official opening of the Institute’s Professional Division. In response to many requests, the Professional Division is designed to assist researchers, clinicians, practitioners, educators, and related organizations in the application and additional study of the Institute hemi-sync techniques in their particular field of endeavor. The Division will offer special hemi-sync tapes for use by Professional Members in research or private and clinical practice. Research data from members and other sources also will be circulated among such membership. In addition, weekend seminars for training and research in the application of hemispheric synchronization will be held frequently at The Center in Virginia. (See accompanying 1980 Schedule). The Professional Division Executive Committee is composed of Arthur Gladman, M.D., Stuart Twemlow, M.D., Todd Mickurea, M.D., Fowler Jones, Ph.D., William Schul, Ph.D., and Mary Jane Ledyard, Ph.D. Among present areas to be considered are stress-tension reduction, control of pain, psychotic state remission, drug and alcohol addiction, autistic and other childhood disfunctions, post-stroke therapy, creativity, and accelerated and specialized learning. Letters of invitation are now being mailed to those who already have expressed an interest in Professional Membership. If your activities lead in this direction, write or phone the Institute in Virginia for information and application forms. SUSTAINING MEMBERSHIP CHANGE Effective immediately, the Emergency Treatment Tape Series will no longer be available on loan to Sustaining Members. Instead, members may purchase the series outright for their own private unlimited use. This is the Institute cassette tape program for use during major surgery, illness or injury which has proved so successful in bringing about fast recuperation and healing, as well as control of pain and post-operative shock. The problem has been that when loaned, the tapes have rarely been returned. Members have preferred to keep them ready in their “medicine chest’ in the event of another emergency.

Gateway participants have written books, poetry, painted pictures, and composed music as a result. This year, the Institute offers a special series of Creative Workshops, aimed directly to enhance the ability of the artist, writer, and composer. (See 1980 Schedule). They will be held in the pastoral environment of the Center in Virginia. Each participant will be able to utilize the various types of Institute Hemi-sync sound techniques that best suit his needs. The Workshops will be offered over long weekends, and will include meals and housing at the Institute Center. For information and reservations, phone or write the Institute Headquarters in Virginia. EXPLORER TAPE COMMENTS (EB) ‘Il have a pervading sense of happiness, of the goodness of things. So much of the content of the tapes reaffirms a lifelong philosophy which | had singlehandedly developed (I thought!) during the years -- my passionate love of the earth and its people and all its life forms, my early rejection ofa god and of religion as a freezing of development, my acceptance of death without fear as a natural condition of life, and many smaller details. | feel re-assured and re-confirmed and at the same time encouraged to go on seeking new depths/heights of ‘knowing...

A Quaker who has spent time in Ashrams in India. Each of these persons have also shared the tapes with their close groups, so there is a spreading circle of affirmation of the contents of the tapes”....... (KP) “Interesting material to say the least. It has provided all of us a clearer conception of how you are functioning with your work in VA. Personally it provides many things to think about and work on. It is reassuring to hear the structures hinted at in your work confirmed by these tapes”..... (WB) “The discourse on side two of the tape about the Christ Consciousness and Jesus was as clearly stated as possible. As far as | am concerned itis a masterpiece in philosophy. It is sure a pity that the average man and woman on the street cannot be aware of this discussion.”....... (EB) “And of such unmistakable quality/authenticity/ perceptive- ness/clarity.
