I RENEE NETO 8 ASR OE ~ TE IS area is JAG PA~E-SD 19 July 1983 MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD SUBJECT: Advanced Individual Training for CENTER LANE Personnel(U) 1. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The first phage of advanced training for CENTER LANE personnel began in March 1982, with in-house applica- tion of the Discovery Series, produced by the Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences (MIAS), Route 1, Box 175, Faber, VA 22938. The Discovery Series training involved the use of specially designed, commercially available audio tapes which produced enhanced levels of mental concentration (see Incl 1). 2. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The second phase of training was initiated in July 1982, with the Gateway Program, also from MIAS. The Gateway Program (see Incl 2) involved sending project personnel for resident training at MIAS. Project personnel were scheduled for attendance along with members of the public. This phase of advanced training further developed the ability of project personnel to achieve enhanced levels of mental concentration, improved their target acquisition, and increased target resolution during operational missions. 3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The next phase of advanced training for CENTER LANE personnel will also involve the educational facilities of MIAS. It is proposed that Robert A. Monroe, Founder and Executive Director of MIAS, be paid as a consultant to train CENTER LANE personnel in the use of the patented Hemisyne process developed by Monroe. The purpose of this training is to enhance the identified ability of selected CENTER LANE source personnel to both acquire and describe information of intelligence interest unavailable by any other collection method. Training will be specifically tailored and designed to meet the requirements of this office and extend beyond the confines of the public program currently offered at MIAS. Training is expected to last ten weeks and will include: a. Instruction in the use and application of nonintrusive bio- monitoring equipment employed by the consultant. b. Instruction in and the development of Hemisync tapes, custom made for project sources. ¢. Instruction in monitoring techniques used during the Hemisyne process. ay a "a ¥ ies NOLIN) f" Abi taker ee FPosvosraak. hm HD 96-00788R001700210007-5 od cn les NOT HELEASABLE £6 FOREIGN NATLUNALS

Instruction in the application and interpretation of information reported through the use of the Hemisync process. The consultant, Robert A. Monroe, will provide the following in support of this training: a. Custom made Hemisync tapes, developed during training, for! exclusive use of CENTER LANE personnel. These tapes will be designed to enhance the demonstrated perceptual abilities of source personnel and will become the property of this office. b. Training facilities to include all equipment and supplies required, c¢. Food and lodging for the project personnel who will be trained, 4. (C/NOFORN) Funding for this next phase of advanced training will be from ICF in the amount of $24,400. This amount represents the total cost of the training for two project personnel excluding transportation which will be by government automobile. Funds for this training are not otherwise available. Use of ICF precludes the unauthorized disclosure of information classified SECRET/CL-4/ NOFORN under the CENTER LANE Special Access Program. Funds are available. 5.

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 cf 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 THE 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-Fol lowing 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 Fundation 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 Gateway 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 repetition-until-result can be mauimized. Rarely an "instant" success, it is rarely a "failure" when repeated consistently.

It is a system of exercises designed to aid the individual in the improvement of his 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 the out-of-body state, communicate with and visit other cnetgy structures and realities. HISTORY: Originally the M-500 Research Project, the present Gateway Program is the result of over 3,000 test exercises Involving 1,932 participants, conducted by the Institute over the past ten years. Assisting in the development of the Program have been researchers in many disciplines from various parts of the country, Reports from participants are available In other Institute Bulletins. Many indicate significant, constructive changes in life attitudes and overview, The basics of the gateway training process are the Frequency Following Response (FFR) and Hemispheric Synchronization (Hemi-Sync), created in the electrical patterns of the brain by the induction of specific sound pulses both singly and binaurally into the human auditory system. Robert Monroe was granted a generic patent for this method and technique in 1975, and assigned it to the Institute, By blending and sequencing such sound pulses, it is possible to aid the individual to develop states of cousciousness not ordinarily available to nim, Evidence of this is shown in bilateral EEC studfes which indicate the seneration of high-amplitude narrow-frequency wave forms sweeping throughout the eortex in direct consequence of such audio slenals, PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The typical Gateway session consists of a series of conducted pre-recorded exercises utilizing FFR, Hemi-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 and technicians, Reinforcement of feedback learning of such states is enhanced by lectures, discussions, and single Interviews using standard accelerated learning techniques. Goals are achievement of Focus 4 (Rasic Hemk-Synce), Focus 10 (Mind awake, body asleep), Focus 12 (Expanded awareness), Focus 15 (No-time}), and focus 21 (Other energy systems), + PARTICIPATION: The VOYAGE is open to individuals who are intellectually curious or possess latent talents and abilities, subject to acceptance by the Program Director. The only prerequisite is completion of the Gateway Home Study BISCOVERY Program which will be mailed to you upon receipt of your $200. (non-refundable) deposit. The Voyage is conducted for seven days, from Saturday night to Saturday noon a week Later, at the Institute Center in Virginta, Room, merits and one year's Sustaining Membership are included in the tuition fee of $850, Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210007-5 Towed os
