Wave VII - Odyssey (A Journey to Focus 21) 

Robert Monroe endeavored to offer "something of value" to contemporary culture to constructively change man's direction and destiny. Wave VII of the Gateway Experience is offered in the spirit of this vision. Odyssey is dedicated to Robert A. Monroe, to all who are committed to personal growth, and to the evolution of humanity seven generations from you.

Odyssey is an embarkation of self-discovery. Wave VII features high adventure exercises in Focus 21 (the bridge to other energy systems). Explore realms of awareness that defy description in dimensions beyond physical time-space reality. Until recently this was only available at the Monroe Institute six-day residential program. Now Hemi-Sync, Monroe products, has included this extraordinary learning experience in the Wave Experience Series.

On an individual level, it may be observed that the universe works with impeccable timing in matters related to personal growth and spiritual development. 

In 1957 Robert Monroe began having out-of-body experiences that altered his life forever. The documentation of these first experiences become what is now known as the "classic OBE", in which a person actually sees his/her body and perceives his/her consciousness as clearly separate from the physical body.

Robert Monroe came to understand that "outer space" and "inner space" are one; therefore, the concept of going "out of body" no longer applied. Robert Monroe learned that he could project a portion of his consciousness "there" while retaining a portion of consciousness within the physical body. His discovery meant that consciousness transcended the physical boundaries of time and space. "Phasing" is the term he introduced to encompass these new realizations.

Your consciousness can and does operate simultaneously in multiple levels of awareness. You alone are responsible for how you choose to focus your conscious awareness. 

The concept of phasing one's consciousness can explain all paranormal or psychic phenomena from Lucid Dreaming or Remote Viewing to Near Death Experiences. 

The purpose of Wave VII is to assist you in applying this natural ability. The beginning exercises take place in Focus 12, a state of expanded awareness in Locale 1. In the process of working with these exercises, you will become familiar with the "second body". The second body also referred to as the energy body is actually the field of energy that surrounds the physical body.

You will learn how to expand your energy body, moving it progressively away from the location of your physical body. You will remember how to manipulate and control your energy body through the projections (or phasing) of your consciousness. You will have the opportunity to explore the far reaches of physical reality in Locale 1.

You will learn how to use the Gateway Affirmation more effectively. 

The final exercises of Wave VII are designed to guide you beyond the boundaries of physical reality. You will journey to Locale 2, which awaits beyond the bride that connects physical time-space reality with other dimensions and other levels of awareness. 

Wave VII Exercises:

Odyssey 1 - Sensing Locale 1 - learn to control your energy body 

Exercise 1 will reacquaint you with Focus 12. You may equate this second body to the life force that animates the physical body or you may choose to refer to it as your etheric body, subtle body, or light body. Exercise 1 will assist you in learning to control your energy body.

Odyssey 2 - Expansion in Locale 1 - reach out further from your physical body 

Exercise 2 will enable you to gain a greater exploration of Locale 1 through the expansion of your energy body in Focus 12. Learn to speed up the vibrations of your physical energy body and expand it outward. Once fully expanded, you will learn to move your awareness toward the far reaches of your energy body; becoming lighter as you move farther from the confines of your physical body.

Odyssey 3 - Point of Departure - project "out of phase" from your physical self 

Learn to become comfortable and proficient in moving your consciousness within an expanded energy body. You will be lead to Focus 12, where you will move your consciousness into your energy body and rotate it 180 degrees. Your energy body is vibrating at a very high speed. It is best to suspend expectations. Whatever your experience, your goal during Exercise 3 is to project your consciousness out of phase with your physical body. RELAX, Relax, relax...

Odyssey 4 - Nonphysical Friends - meet your "helpers in energetic form" 

Be open to the idea of asking for and receiving assistance. Research at the Monroe Institute made it apparent that Explorers were not along, they had abundance of help. "Helpers in energetic form" would typically position themselves two on each side of the Explorer. These helpers might assist the Explorer in leaving his/her physical body or contribute in other ways. Benevolent intentions are always clear. You decide who your non-physical friends are. Exercise 4 is designed so you might establish trust through direct personal contact. 

Odyssey 5 - Movement to Locale 2/Intro Focus 21 - travel the bridge to other energy systems 

Exercise 5 (Movement to Locale 2) may be your first conscious experience in Focus 21 (the bridge to other energy systems). Focus 21 is an extraordinary state of awareness that was previously reserved for the Monroe Institute's residential programs. As you relax into this exercise, specialized Hemi-Sync signals and verbal guidance will lead you to Focus 21. 

Odyssey 6 - Free Flow Journey in Focus 21 - brand-new territory for your exploration 

This exercise is the culmination of all your previous work and is brand-new territory for your exploration. Staying focused and aware is important. You will move to Focus 21 directly from 12 by simply projecting your consciousness and guidance to the light of Focus 21. You will once again be encouraged to ask for assistance and guidance from those whose wisdom, development, and experience are equal to or greater than your own. You will never exhaust Odyssey 6 limitless possibilities for rich and abundantly rewarding far journeys.

Wave V - Exploring Music and Hemi Sync become your tour guides as you learn to create experiences without verbal instructions. Carefully orchestrated changes in the Hemi-Sync signals automatically guide you into different states of consciousness throughout your journey of self-exploration. 

Travel through time with questions such as, "Who or what was I before this life?" or "Who or what will I be during my next human experience?" Explore connections between past, present and future with "Does the future influence the past?" and the reverse. 

Communication with other life forms by interacting with the energy of a cloud, with a flower, a rock, a mountain, a forest or a beloved pet.

Experience nature's energy by allowing the vital forces of ocean surf to swirl around you and flow deeply within you. 

Build your NVC by traveling to nonphysical energy systems.

Go deeper within the earth. Or go deep within yourself.

Exploring #1: Mission 10 - expand Focus 10 possibilities. 

This is a totally self-directed free flow exercise. Decide on a purpose and the, with no verbal reminders of C-1, enjoy a more powerful and effective Focus 10 exploration.

Exploring #2: Mission 12 - expand Focus 12 possibilities 

Predetermine your purpose. Then simply relax, allowing the Hemi-Sync signals to carry you first to Focus 10, then on to Focus 12, and return to C-1 when it's time.

Exploring #3: Mission Day - make the most of your day 

Mission Day provides support for a powerful 15-minute patterning process. Use it in the morning. After the preparatory process, go to Focus 10 or 12 and express your desires for the day in thought, imagination, emotion, or active mental pictures. 

Exploring #4: Mission Night - expand sleeping possibilities 

Mission Night is for use when you are comfortably ready to drift into sleep, and will not awaken you at the conclusion of the exercise. Go to your choice of Focus 10 or 12 and pattern to direct your sleep experience. Let your creativity be your guide for each night's mission.

Exploring #5: Horizons - look inward to memories, feelings 

Horizons provides Hemi-Sync signals that evoke memories, feelings and events. There is no need for a purpose. Perform you preparatory process, choose the desired Focus level, and simply relax and let it happen.

Exploring #6: Pathways - open unexplored places within you 

Pathways leads you along forgotten paths or opens new patterns for exploration. The Hemi-Sync signals will let you know when to com back to C-1 by your chosen method.

Wave IV - Adventure - Explore new experiences, new ideas, new places and new friends. This album provides you with the ultimate expression beyond Freedom -- that of a personally controlled and directed adventure. 

Wave IV Learning:

Adventure #1: One Year Patterning - for designing your desired future - requires your thoughtful prior consideration about exactly how and what you desire to be in one year's time. Be sure you REALLY want what you pattern for. 

Adventure #2: Five Messages- gain insight into your total self - requires no prior action except to approach the exercise with openness, gratitude and a sensitivity to your perceptions of any nature. Wait until AFTER to analyze and interpret your messages. Such "left brain" functions interfere with your synchronized Focus 12 state. 

Adventure #3: Free Flow 12 - an unparalleled background for personal exploration - After introducing you to a "beacon guidepost" as your personal reference point, this exercise supports planned, systematic explorations whenever you desire. During these self-directed adventures, experiment creatively with any and all of the methods you have learned. 

Adventure #4: NVC 1 - Nonverbal Communication (NVC) - non-verbal communication, the language of intuitive thought - is not body language but rather a primary method of interaction in and among different realities and energy systems. It is a total expression, occurring within the mind and in mind-to-mind exchanges. Begin to build your NVC "vocabulary" with these and other nonphysical perceptions, together with new meanings for familiar perceptions. 

Adventure #5: NVC II - broaden perception in all states of your being. Develop your NVC vocabulary to communicating our Affirmation nonverbally. Then you use your expanded awareness to RECEIVE NVC from others. 

Adventure #6: Compoint - establish a reference point for communication with higher consciousness. Compoint is an abbreviation for communications. It is a location you establish along the continuum of consciousness. Your growing NVC skills enable you to use the compoint to gather information, encounter other energy systems, or simply observe. You develop more NVC vocabulary for reaching out, greeting, saying goodbye, and expressing gratitude. It can serve as a convenient rendezvous with your nonphysical friends. 

Wave III - Freedom 

Enjoy Focus 10 and Focus 12 exercises developed specifically to make the methods for perceiving and controlling your nonphysical energy a comfortable and joyous experience.

About Out of Body Experiences OBEs - conceptualize your experiences with Wave I and II in terms of Robert Monroe's Continuum of Consciousness. C1, Focus 10 and Focus 12 are arbitrary labels for certain point along the continuum. Hemi Sync helps you shift your attention to a particular state of consciousness. In the classic out-of-body experience you "see" your physical body from an outside position. There are no rules, no norms, no standards against which you should measure YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE. As you become more proficient in experiencing your consciousness as separate from the physical, the method of perception becomes quite unimportant and may change from OBE to OBE. ANY experience of your consciousness separate from the physical body is an OBE.

About Fear: Some people have a strong desire to go out-of-body while at another level they are frightened at the prospect. Waves I and II have given you the tools to deal with fear by using your "Box", your affirmation and "REB:" and EBT.

Let go of any expectation that you will have a particular kind of experience. Remember that you can always return safely to C-1.

Practice: As you experiment with the different separation techniques on Wave III exercises, you may discover that one works better for you. 

Beginning stages of developing OBE proficiency: You may find that thought becomes action. A passing thought about a person or location may transport your nonphysical consciousness there. The possibilities are limited only by who you are and how you wish to grow.

Center yourself in the "you" that is your nonphysical energy rather than in your physical body. Repeated practice gives you assurance that you can return safely and easily and, it is quite easy to move farther than the exercise provides.

Wave III Learning:

Freedom #1:
Lift Off - achieve ease with nonphysical experience 

Center yourself in the "you" that is your nonphysical energy rather than in your physical body. Learn to return safely and easily to your body. 

Freedom #2
Remote Viewing - tools for distant perception. 

Remote viewing guides you through three experiments using your EBT to reach distant people and places with your awareness. Distance is not a factor. 

Integrate remote viewing into your daily life as you continue to practice the techniques of Wave III.

Remote viewing is a perceptual skill that enables an individual to acquire and describe information about people, objects, places or events. This information is perceived physically and is seemingly separate from the "viewer" and his/her physical senses by distance, shielding, or time. In recent years, the disclosure that a secret U.S. government remote-viewing surveillance program existed during the Cold War era has increase public awareness of remote viewing as an innate human ability.

In the early 1980's Robert Monroe's patented Hemi-sync audio guidance technique was used by government remote viewers who found that this training process enhanced their skills. When Monroe's basic blueprint was incorporated with five basic behaviors common to successful remote viewers: relaxing, connecting, listening, becoming aware and reporting - performance consistency improved. With practice, remote viewers could learn to willfully and reliably enter propitious levels of consciousness with the aid of Hemi-sync technology. Over 20 years later, this unique performance-boosting training is now available to the public. 

Freedom #3:
Vectors - reference points for easy movement. 

Learn to use your "REBA" to give you practice in going and returning with a sense of direction. Learn to recognize the feelings associated with perceiving beyond your physical body. Experiment with different vectors. and Make these techniques your own - experiment with them; establish and practice with additional reference points. Eventually you will be able to use this learning in all your explorations.

Freedom #4: Five Questions - answers from your total self 

Who am I? Where and who was I before I entered this physical existence? What is my purpose for this existence in physical matter reality? What action can I now take to serve this purpose best? What is the most important message I can receive and understand at this point in my existence?

Don't anticipate verbal answers. Keep in mind the various perceptual methods you have been experiencing and open your awareness to kinesthetic sensations, emotions, a sense of "knowing" or images. 

The questions are only a beginning. As you continue to practice this exercise you can substitute your own and repeat any question for clarification or fuller understanding. 

Freedom #5: Energy Food - absorb nonphysical energy 

Energy Food teaches you a method for restoring depleted energy in C-1; it is an encoding of the process rather than actual application. 

Freedom #6: First Stage Separation - explore nonphysical consciousness 

First Stage Separationbuilds on previous exercises to take you farther in consciously controlling your nonphysical energy. Practicing five different methods of dissociation from your physical body provides the opportunity to discover that one is more comfortable for you, or to experiment with combining two or more of these methods. You can return to the physical body by using the Return to C-1" encoding.

Log-Rolling - Focus on rotating and rolling the nonphysical energy within your physical body as if an axis runs through your body from your head to your feet. Reorientation can be easily accomplished by rotating until your nonphysical energy is in alignment with the physical. 

Pole - Using you feet as a pivotal point, you are directed to move your nonphysical energy slowly up and out. When your energy feet are the only point of contact, intent is sufficient to accomplish complete separation.

Backing away - you slowly back out and away from your physical body. Once this is achieved, you can turn away and practice directing your movement with the techniques from the Vectors exercise.

Flowing - involves sending out your nonphysical energies. Once separated, this often reforms quite naturally into a replica of your physical body. You can then "jet" away on your EBT, float off inside your REBAL, practice with your vectors, or use any of the other tools you have learned.

Floating - involves an emotional association with the concept of floating or soaring. Once separation is achieved, you can gradually diminish the emotion so other parts of your total self can direct your experience.

Repeated practice in a relaxed state, without expectations, is the best way to achieve comfort and confidence in your ability to separate and return easily and surely.

Wave II - Threshold 

Wave II is an odyssey of self-discovery. It is an extended adventurous voyage, an intellectual or spiritual quest. Until the release of this CD Gateway enthusiasts didn't have an opportunity to work with Focus 21 (the bridge to other energy systems). Most people consider Focus 21 exercises to be profoundly meaningful, if not life-changing. 

Learn more Focus 10 "mental tools" and benefit from exercises which take you to a state of expanded awareness known as Focus 12. Threshold opens new perceptual channels for expanding and integrating personal awareness while developing creative insights which assist in dissolving fear barriers.

Rarely is nonphysical energy perceived in the same way we perceive in our physical, waking state. Be receptive to subtle nuances of kinesthetic, auditory, or visual experiences. You may sense a "knowing", a telepathic comprehension that can be later translated into words. You will learn to perceive more clearly. Let go of preconceived notions about how things should unfold. Please preconceived notions in your "Box" at the beginning of an exercise or at any time they intrude.

Wave II Learning:

Intro Focus 12 - establish the higher energy state of expanded awareness
Relax as you are guided from Focus 10 to Focus 12 and calmly observe any differences. The distinctions become ore pronounced and you come to appreciate Focus 12 as a powerful and empowering states. 

Problem Solving - receive creative solution to your questions.
Being to use Focus 12 energy for its many practical applications. Place your question or problem in the center of your consciousness. Then direct it outwards to your total awareness, release it, and wait for the response. Sense subtle changes in energy. Open your perception to the conversations of others, passages in books, synchronicities and the multitude of wondrous ways in which guidance may reveal itself.

One Month Patterning - reshape your life in desired directions
Based on the principle that we become what we think, the energy of Focus 12 offer this process a speed and intensity in the manifesting of thought not generally available in ordinary consciousness. Think, feel or imagine the physical, mental or emotional pattern you desire in your life. Use "I" in you patterning statement and perceive yourself as an active part of the pattern. Pattern only for yourself.

Color Breathing -link mind and body to energize and support healing
Use the resonance of colors to develop your ability in directing physical and nonphysical energy. Sound, vibration and other sensations are as valid as visualization for the mental perception of color. The exercise guides you through learning to use the following colors: green for reducing excess or harmful emotional energy; red for increasing physical strength, speed and coordination; purple for restoring and normalizing your physical condition. Each time you end this practice perceive your body as well, whole and perfect. 

Energy Bar Tool (EBT) - direct your nonphysical energies
Gather and direct nonphysical energies. While moving through the exercise, focus on finding or creating your own very personal EBT, one that shares your energy and holds significance for you. Your EBT can be used as a beacon to attract guidance or other intelligence, a vehicle for space travel, or a comforting symbol of safety and security. As you recharge your EBT it recharges you.

Living Body Map (LBM) - balance and strengthen the physical self
LBM supports the perspective and detachment useful in healing. In this exercise for influencing physical body energy, you learn a new tool while using your EBT. As the exercise proceeds, you learn to use the LBM to identify where healing energy is needed. Not meant to replace medical diagnosis and treatment. Always consult your physician. 

Wave I - Discovery 

Discovery introduces the Mind Awake/Body Asleep state (Focus 10) and other "mental tools" to help you experience states of expanded awareness. You are lead from your physical waking state into deep relaxation and then into unexplored levels of your consciousness. Discover new potentials in thought and action as your total self becomes your personal gateway into profound forms of perception.
