RE /THE DISCOVERY PROGRAM
A
series
of
training
exercises
on
six
stereo
cassette
tapes
with
detailed
Guidance Manual
contained
in
a
special DISCOVERY book-album
This
is
not
merely
a
set
of
lectures.
Instead,
it
is
a carefully designed
sequential
program
of
actual
methods
and
techniques
that
can
be
practiced
and
achieved
in
the home environment.
PURPOSE
The DISCOVERY Program provides
the
serious
explorer of human mind potentials
with
a variety
of
tools
that
can
be
used
in
his
quest.
When learned
and applied,
these
give
the
individual
new
awareness,
knowledge,
and understanding
of his own
self.
They
help
one
to
perceive
and
control
levels
of
his
own
consciousness
here-to-fore
unavailable
and/or
unknown
to
him.
They
may
open
other
realities
and
energy
systems
where
new
information
and
experiences
may
be
obtained.
They
can enhance measurably
his
creative processes
and abilities.
' DISCUSSION
The
DISCOVERY
training
series
is
the
product
of
a
twenty-year
research
effort
by
the
staff
of
the
Monroe
Institute
of
Applied
Sciences.
Many
of
the
techniques
employed
were
originated
by
Robert
Monroe,
Founder
and
Executive
Director
of
the
Institute,
Mr.
Monroe
is
the author
of
the
book JOURNEYS OUT OF
TILE
BODY,
now
a
famous
classic
in
the
field
and
published
in
six
languages
world-wide
The
DISCOVERY
training
system
employs
a
unique
and
exclusive
means
to
syn-
chronize
the hemispheric activity
of
the
human brain.
This
is
achieved by
a pat-
tern
of sound waves which
encourage*
a Frequency-Following Response
(FFR)
in brain
electrical
activity.
Such
sound
patterns
are
varied
in
frequency
to
obtain
desired
states
of
consciousness
.
The
process
is
then
applied
binaurally
(different
and
independent
signals
in
each
ear )- wherein
the
FFR
signal
becomes
a
"beat
frequency",*
which
aids
in
the
brain
wave
synchronization
of
the
hemispheres
in both
frequency and
amplitude.
Very
little
is
known
as
to
the
occurrence
of
such
synchronized
states
in
typical
human
consciousness.
A
study
at
the
Menninger
Furidation
indicated
the
ability
of
an
experienced
Zen
Master
to
induce
it
at
will,
which may suggest
it
is
more
prevalent
than
considered
originally.
Over
the
past
six
years,
the
Monroe
Institute
has
developed
and
tested specific
"hemi-sync" applications with
•several
thousand
participants
through
its
Gate-way
Program.
As
a
result,
it
is
the
leader
in
this
newly -emerging
field
of consciousness
research.
The
DISCOVERY
Program
utilizes
fully
this
experience.
It
is
in
essence
a
modification
of
the
basic
Gateway
techniques
for
in-home
training,
where
the
factor
of repetiLtion-unti 1-resul t
can be maximized.
Rarely
an
"instant"
success,
it
is
rarely
a
"failure" when
repeated
consistently.

THE GATEWAY VOYAGE PROGRAM
PURPOSE :
Gateway
is dedicated
to
the development
and
exploration of human
consciousness.
It
is
a system
of
exercises designed
to aid
the
individual
in
the improvement
of
Ills
own consciousness *
so
that
he may know and understand
better his higher
self,
that he may learn and experience profound areas
of
expanded awareness,
achieve and willfully
control
his physical body and

PRACTICAL APPLICATION :
The
typical Gateway session consists
of
a series
of
conducted pre-recorded exercises utilizing
PER,
Henri.-Sync,
and vocal guidance
to
achieve progressive states
of
consciousness.
These are heard
through stereo
headphones while
in
a
relaxed position,
under
the supervision
of
Institute trainers
ana
technicians.

such
states

A COMMUNICATION FROM THE MONROE INSTITUTE OF APPLIED SCIENCES
THE HEMI-SYNC PROCESS
#PR31380H
Perhaps the most signifleant mind—brain research in recent years
has been in the hemisphereic specialization.
The consensus of several
hundred pages and studies generally supports the postulates of dominant
left brain functions
(lineal,
verbal,
analytic)
and those of the right
brain
(visual,
spacial,
synthesis).
All concede
the fact that our edu-
cational system and the
fundamental values
of our culture nurture heav-
ily such left brain dominance.
Synchronous or simultaneous brain wave patterns
in both hemispheres
(HEMI-SYNC)
apparently occurs infrequently in typical human consciousness,
and then for
a few seconds at the most.
Usually,
activity shifts from
left to right hemisphere as
the dominant area almost in
a flickering move-
ment according to the mental task at the moment.
By definition,
hemispheric synchronization or coherence is
a state
of consciousness indicated by EEG forms
in both hemispheres which are
simultaneously equal
in amplitude and frequency.
Due to the rare occur-
ence and short duration of such consciousness,
there has been little
supportive instrumental measurement until recently.
The best earlv studv
was conducted by Elmer and Alyce Green at the Menninger Clinic, where
a
Y
subject with twenty years
in Zen meditative training was tested extensive-
!y.
Results showed that the subject could establish at will
a hemi-svnc
state ,
consistently and over fifteen minutes
in length.
Through the use of audio stimulae
to evoke an electrical frequencv-
following response xn the brain
(FFR)
,
as developed by the InstitutJ
and with the application of such signals
in
a beat-frequency mode
(diff-
erG
u tuf
S19nals
in each ear )
r
research by the Institute has determined
workable methods and techniques that induce hemisphereic synchronization
or coherence xn the human brain.
This has been verified and replicated
consistently both at the Institute and other facilities?
rePllc*ted
Thus for the first time,
consciousness as represented and/or created
by the HEMI-SYNC state can be instigated,
identified,
and measured.
The full scope of HEMI-SYNC consciousness
is yet to be determined.
Very little
is known of its characteristics,
value or utility other than
the preliminary work performed by the Institute.
There
is
a growing be-
lief that meditation,
moments of crisis,
certain mental disciplines,
in-
tense concentration,
peak experiences,
all represent varieties of such
consciousness.
Conversely,
hypnosis,
drug-induced states,
illness,
an-
aesthesia ,
and
like conditions do not^
Subsequent research may substaniate
