r/gatewaytapes

I'm not really sure what to search for this, so I went ahead with this post. I have listened to Monroe's first two books. I really enjoyed the second one and am about to listen to Ultimate Journey. I'm also currently working on Focus 12. As a meditator, I find his techniques and audio files to be very valuable. In all the years of meditation, I've never been able to reach such a state of relaxation, and I'm looking forward to reaching higher states with focus 12, 15, 21 and beyond.

Robert Monroe is described as a map maker. The work he has done is extremely impressive, especially during his time. I do not doubt the effectiveness of his techniques to get into an OOBE. However, I am wondering if all that he shares in his books is all a manifestation of his belief system and imagination. The centers, the locales, BB, earth in year 3,000 and beyond, etc. I've read that individuals who strongly believe in hell and have underlying beliefs that they deserve to go there... will find themselves in their own version of hell that they created (I believe this was from Seth Speaks), until they figure it out. So I am wondering if the map Robert has mapped out is essentially that: a creation of his imagination and belief system... or if it is the actual way (or interpretation) of things beyond here?

Curious to know what anyones thoughts are on this? Does his interpretation map onto what others have to say about the beyond? e.g. channelers, mediums, psychics, people who are connected with the akashic records, those who AP without gateway tapes, etc. I'm not very knowledgeable and my personal experience is very limited with OOBEs. Has anyone expanded on the map he has created, or interpreted it in a different way?

I'm asking because I want to remain open to reality as it is, in case what Robert describes is his reality within reality. Especially since outside of the physical, we can manifest things instantly. Does that make sense? I hope this is a reasonable question and mean no offense to anyone.

I've been listening to the Gateway tapes, and today I repeated Wave I, Track 2 (Introduction to Focus 10).

This session felt much deeper than my previous one. While concentrating on the audio, I suddenly started feeling what seemed like someone repeatedly punching or hitting my bed. The sensations were intermittent, sometimes lasting longer and sometimes shorter, almost like separate impacts rather than continuous vibrations.

I was fully aware of my surroundings, and it didn't feel like an internal vibration. It genuinely felt as though something was happening to the bed itself. It startled me a little, but the sensation didn't last long, and afterward I felt amazing.

I've experienced vibrations during a previous session, too, but this was much more intense and unusual.

For those experienced with Gateway, deep Focus states, or astral projection, would you consider this similar to the vibrational stage people describe before an OBE? Has anyone experienced something similar during Focus 10?

I'd appreciate hearing about your personal experiences and interpretations.

Hi all,

I have been doing the tapes on and off for some months and use the YouTube gateway tapes. is there another source to access the tapes?

I am healing from some deeper traumas and disconnect and find the tapes very helpful.

thank you! 🙏

Gateway related: in the Jesse Michaels/ Jake barber interview, Jake mentions some ways that are known to give you access to the phenomena. That means The govt knows how to enable people to interact with it! He mentions meditation and substances and sounds….he’s very vague but when he says sounds he’s talking about brainwave entrainment/binaural beats/GATEWAY!!

He doesn’t want to name names so he doesn’t say which substances or how much, so when he says sounds he does the same and omits the specifics. We all know that the govt is aware of what gateway can do, and we all know what Bob means in the gateway affirmation, and that gateway is about much more than astral projection, and that gateway is a way to interact with the nhi/nhe.

I read that it is warned against trying to force the process. What happens if you do? Can anyone speak from personal experience or heard any examples?

Hello everyone im new to all this and well I've been listening to some of the tapes and researching the history behind them and robert monroe for a few weeks now and I was just wondering some things. Mainly the title question. How does patterning work and what are its limits? I have looked into the core idea of how if you think of something in Focus 12 and think of it as it has already happened that you can pattern it into reality but my main question is what are it limits? Like how does the request get delivered to you in the physical world? Does it rearrange pre existing things or create new ones in the universal hologram? How long can it take? I heard some people say months but once it does come is it instant or slow? And probably the one I have had the hardest time getting the answer too what happens if I pattern for a outcome that contradicts history? Like not necessarily time traveling or rewrite history more so a outcome in the present that contradicts it. Thank you all!​

I’m really just trying to see if I’m alone in this but I got pretty far into the tapes I was loving it and for about 4 days flew through the steps going into that deep sleep but being fully awake I struggled a bit but got to a point where I had it down and I just ended up feeling a dark and cold presence and it felt like I couldn’t hold my protective bubble it was so strange and has kept me from pursuing going further
