Mr. Altig’s Overview of the Wonderful Dharma of the Lotus Sutra

1. Introduction

This document summarizes the main themes and key concepts. These are presented in various sources related to the “Gateway Experience.” It is a training system developed by the Monroe Institute. Allegedly, it is used by the US Army for consciousness exploration. It also has potential applications in intelligence and personal growth.

2. Core Concepts

2.1. Consciousness as Holographic Energy Interaction

The Gateway Process rests on the foundation that consciousness arises from the interaction of holographic energy patterns within the universe. The universe itself is viewed as a massive, complex hologram containing information about the past, present, and future. The human mind, also a hologram, accesses this universal hologram through resonance and energy exchange.

“Our whole reality is constructed by constantly making such comparisons…Whenever we perceive something, we always perceive differences only.” – Itzhak Bentov

2.2. Brain Hemisphere Synchronization (Hemi-Sync)

The Gateway Process utilizes a technology called Hemi-Sync, which employs audio frequencies to synchronize the brain’s hemispheres. This synchronization aims to:

• Suppress the left hemisphere’s analytical function, allowing unfiltered access to right hemisphere intuitive processing.
• Induce deep relaxation, reducing the “bifurcation echo” in the circulatory system and promoting bodily resonance at around 7 Hertz.
• Allow higher amplitude brainwave output, enabling interaction with more rarified energy levels within the universe.

“Audio techniques developed by Bob Monroe can induce and sustain Hemi-Sync with the Institute’s basic Focus 3 tapes,…” – Melissa Jager

2.3. Altered States of Consciousness

The Gateway Process uses Hemi-Sync and other techniques. These methods, such as guided meditation, help induce progressively deeper altered states of consciousness (Focus levels). These states allegedly facilitate:

• Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs): Projection of consciousness beyond the physical body, allowing exploration of non-physical realities and potential information gathering.
• Time Travel: Accessing information from the past and potentially the future through interaction with the universal hologram.
• Energy Manipulation: Techniques like “Color Breathing” are used to manipulate bodily energies for healing, problem solving, and personal growth.
• “The tangible world is movement, say the Masters, not a collection of moving objects, but movement itself. There are no objects “in movement.” Movement constitutes the objects which appear to us. They are nothing but movement.” – Alexandra David-Neel and Llama Yongden

3. Techniques and Applications

3.1. Problem Solving: Focus 12 is used to project problems into the universal hologram, seeking solutions through intuition and insights.

3.2. Patterning: Creating holographic representations of desired outcomes in Focus 12 to influence reality and manifest those outcomes.

3.3. Color Breathing: Utilizing specific colors in Focus 12 to resonate with and manipulate bodily energies for various purposes.

3.4. Remote Viewing: Projecting consciousness to distant locations in the out-of-body state for information gathering.

3.5. Interdimensional Communication: Reaching Focus 21 and beyond to interact with other forms of consciousness within the universe.

4. Limitations and Considerations

• Distortion: Information gathered in altered states may be distorted due to interference from past events, thought forms, or pseudoscopic perception.
• Belief System Bias: Personal belief systems can influence experiences and interpretations in non-physical realms.
• Ethical Concerns: Potential for misuse of these techniques, especially in areas like remote viewing and influencing others.

5. Potential Applications for Intelligence and Personal Growth

The Gateway Process, despite its limitations, holds potential for applications in various fields:

• Intelligence Gathering: Remote viewing for accessing information from geographically distant or inaccessible locations.
• Personal Development: Promoting self-awareness, creativity, and problem-solving abilities through expanded consciousness.
• Healing and Wellness: Utilizing energy manipulation techniques for promoting physical and emotional well-being.
• Scientific Research: Further exploration of the nature of consciousness and its interaction with reality.

6. Conclusion

The Gateway Process presents a complex and intriguing model of consciousness and its potential. Further research and critical evaluation are needed. The concepts and techniques offered warrant serious consideration. They have potential applications in various fields, including intelligence, personal growth, and scientific understanding of the universe.
