I was totally frightened.
I had been encountering a phenomenon that was like a vibration in the body.
It's not a physical vibration, incidentally.
I suddenly felt something bumping against my shoulder and trying to perceive what this was, this man stepped into the fifth dimension and came back with information no scientist could explain.
Robert Monroe was the man who taught the CIA techniques to access other realities.
In this interview, he said something that left both the presenters and the entire audience speechless.
The result of such activity or practice going past hope Belief, faith.
You know that you do survive death.
It's a very, very pragmatic thing that you do survive physical death.
But Monroe wasn't the only one.
There was another man, someone who pushed even further into those hidden layers of reality, and what he found terrified him.
I was totally terrified in that one.
Suddenly a line of light comes down through my spine, leaves of different realities all around me.
I could look into the future and the presence right here in each of those, and it goes on out to many years from now.
Many of the teachings warn against getting stuck in some of these realities.
Right.
I haven't been in any of them since that time.
This was John C. Lilly, the man people say accessed realities no one else could reach.
He pushed himself into places most humans never experience and came back with stories that still scare researchers today.
In another interview, Monroe said something unexpected, something no one was ready to hear.
You begin to understand, the more you get into this, that there is other realities which this human state can be conscious over, in these other areas.
And you can learn and do this.
Robert Monroe wasn't just anyone.
He was a highly trusted figure.
And yet he said that almost every night he was leaving his body and seeing other levels of reality.
Shortly, I'll explain in detail the process he described.
The same process that made the CIA send their own officers to learn it.
I haven't had experiences like Monroe, or at least I'm not aware of them.
There's something I want to share with you.
You know, ever since I started making these videos, something changed in me, began to see things differently, more deeply.
Maybe that's what people mean when they say being awake.
You begin to see reality in a more raw, unfiltered way.
And with that clarity, something shifts inside.
It's like a separation starts to happen between you and the world you used to know.
Friends and family are still part of my life, but something in me feels distant.
It's not that they've changed or that I've done something wrong.
I remember one evening at dinner with friends.
Everyone was laughing, talking, just enjoying the night.
But I felt something shift inside me.
I looked down at the food on my plate and started questioning it.
What we eat, where it comes from, what's really in it.
Even the music playing in the background lyrics felt different, like they were programming us in ways we don't fully see.
Some friends were scrolling on their phones, others talking about the latest news or gossip.
And in that moment, everything felt strangely disconnected.
It was such a weird feeling because nothing around me had changed, but I had.
Probably many of you feel this too.
That part, the Outsider phase, is one of the hardest, because you feel awake, but also completely alone.
And for me, therapy really helped with that.
I realized I didn't have to fight what I was feeling.
My therapist helped me see that it was okay to be confused, that sometimes when you start seeing life differently, things have to fall apart a bit before they make sense again.
It wasn't easy to overcome and honestly, I couldn't have done it alone.

Now let me take you back to Robert Monroe.
People hear his story and think he was just another man with unusual ideas, but he wasn't.
He founded the Monroe Institute, a place where scientists, executives and even CIA officers trained to explore non-physical states.
And when an intelligence agency sends people to learn your methods, you're someone they take seriously.
Monroe believed that your consciousness can shift in and out of the physical world the same way a radio moves between stations.
When you're in phase, you see our normal reality, but when you fall out of phase, you start perceiving something completely different.
I can probably take a piece of paper.
This, for example, is a phase relationship.
As this, I turn this, this is moving slightly out of phase.
So you have difficulty seeing the print more and more.
Until this way it's very narrow.
You, you could not even define what that is.
It's just a line there and if you're trying to read this, you're having great difficulty because you can't even see it at all.
Now, now you're seeing another type of something.
You're seeing not this, but something else, so you're completely out of phase of time space.
So it's that type of thing of these are ratios and everything is ratio in terms of consciousness.
What Monroe was trying to explain is that consciousness doesn't just stay in one place.
He believed it can shift or phase between different levels of reality.
And when that shift happens, even for a moment, you no longer see the world the way you normally do.
You're tuned into something else.
Most people go through these tiny shifts without ever noticing a brief moment of losing focus, a sudden feeling of disconnection, a flash that doesn't make sense.
Monroe said these could be small signs of moving out of phase, not enough to scare you, but enough to remind you that awareness isn't fixed to the physical world.
He spent years studying this, Not because it was strange to him, but because it started happening more often.
And the more he observed it, the more he realized something important.
Some people don't just shift for a moment.
They get stuck between two phases.
And that's where things become much harder to explain.
The person who has dementia or some form of psychosis is in a dual phase relationship and cannot differentiate between the time-space physical relationship phasing, and this other that he perceived.
So he sees little men and he hears voices and all kinds of things that are coming to him from this other phase relationship and he can't explain.
And so he tries to mix the two to the degree that they are both the same thing, when they're really not the same thing.
So he goes into a mental hospital or they give him drugs like beta blockers to stop this other phasing.
While most people were trying to understand these experiences from the outside, it was mapping them from the inside, building an entire model of consciousness that went way beyond anything accepted at the time.
He created categories, levels and entire frameworks for how awareness moves, how it shifts and how it reacts when the body is under stress, fear or deep relaxation.
He even tested these ideas with volunteers, recording thousands of sessions at the Monroe Institute.
Some people reported clarity, others reported visions and a few described moments that didn't fit any normal explanation.
Monroe didn't claim to have all the answers, but he believed these patterns were pointing to something much bigger than personal perception, something structural, something built into the nature of consciousness itself.
And one of his boldest ideas was about what happens when the physical system reaches its limit.
We all face, there are certain things like death and taxes we always have to face.
Well, one of them we have is facing physical death.
And that means that this tuning device that we have called a physical body doesn't work anymore.
So we have to phase out of it.
And we're completely out of phase and this doesn't work so we are totally there.
Again, our consciousness is not dependent upon this.
It's over there.
And being over there is a reality.
And this is the thing that you begin to understand the more you get into this, that there is other realities which this mind that we have, this human state, can be conscious over in these other areas.
And you can learn and do this long before you're forced to drop this physical body and go on.
You can go play there.
When robert monroe first started exploring these unusual states of consciousness, he didn't expect to find a structure.
He thought these experiences were random personal, maybe even illusions.
But the more he repeated them, the more he realized something surprising.
The non-physical world wasn't chaos.
It had levels, patterns, and rules, almost like a hidden map.
Monroe didn't build this map through theory.
He built it through thousands of sessions at the Monroe Institute.
People from different countries, religions and backgrounds described the same transitions, the same sensations, the same places.
Over time he organized these observations into what he called focus levels.
We started with a very sound scientific base of using sine waves that replicated the brainwaves in the human mind.
Focus 10 felt like the body was asleep, but the mind stayed awake.
Focus 12 brought a quiet expansion, as if awareness was stretching beyond the physical senses.
Focus 21 appeared to be a boundary zone where the physical and non-physical seemed to touch.
And Focus 27, many described it as structured, stable, almost like a designed environment.
These weren't dreams.
People visited these states again and again, compared notes, and found consistency.
Monroe didn't claim he had the full truth, but he believed he was mapping something real, a layered structure of consciousness that exists whether we are aware of it or not.
As more people trained at the Monroyo Institute, patterns became clearer.
Some states felt close to the physical world, like thin layers overlapping our normal perception.
Others felt distant, organized, intelligent, and independent of the body.
People came to study one thing. how awareness moves into other levels of reality.
And slowly this research started attracting attention from unexpected places, not from spiritual groups, not from philosophers, but from a government agency known for ignoring anything without measurable value.
Because hidden inside Monroe's map were patterns that suggested something far bigger than personal exploration, something strategic, something the intelligence world could not afford to ignore.
And that's where the story takes a turn.
We have a state that we can achieve by hemisphing that lets your mind be awake and your body asleep.
Now that means that the characteristics of your body, your physical body, are asleep.
And this makes a very, very great discovery available to you.
And that is that you don't need all that physical sensory input of your five senses to be awake, to be able to think.
The CIA didn't become interested in Robert Monroe because of out-of-body stories.
Agencies like that don't spend time on ideas that can't be tested.
What caught their attention was the consistency of his results.
Different people with different backgrounds were reaching the same states of consciousness by following the same steps.
And they were doing it on purpose, not by accident.
For the intelligence world, this meant there was a structure behind the method.
Something repeatable.
Something that could be studied.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, a small group inside the CIA began reviewing Monroe's work in a serious way.
They weren't looking for mysticism.
They were evaluating whether these states could change perception, awareness or the way the mind processes information.
This review led to what we now call the CIA Gateway Report.
It's a declassified document that explains Monroe's system in technical language brainwave patterns resonance, attention states and left-right hemisphere synchronization.
The report describes how certain audio frequencies can bring the two hemispheres of the brain into a synchronized rhythm.
Monroe called this technique hemi-sync.
Hemisync, first of all, is tremendously valuable for one reason, and that is that it's not like a drug, it's not like a chemical, it is a sound.
And as a sound, it in turn doesn't invade the body, as it were.
It's not even like electrical stimulation, where you force the body to do things by electricity.
What it also means is that the mind can accept it or reject it.
With practice, participants reached a deep physical relaxation while staying fully conscious.
This combination changed how the brain filtered information and, in some cases, produced states of extended perception.
The CIA sent several officers to test the method directly.
During the sessions, these officers reported clear shifts in awareness, changes in how their body felt and the sense that attention was separating from the physical senses.
These were not random events.
They happened in structured sessions, using the same steps, with similar results each time.
For the agency, this was enough to confirm that Monroe's system deserved further study.
The consistency suggested that the method wasn't imagination or coincidence.
It was a process with measurable effects.
Because of this, more researchers, engineers and military personnel began participating at the Monroe Institute.
They wanted to see how far these states could be explored and how they worked in detail.
And this pushed Monroe to explain the process even more clearly.
Not in abstract terms, but step by step.
This brings us directly to the core of his work how consciousness shifts out of physical perception.
Instead of just flying around in the out-of-body state.
After I knew it wouldn't kill me, I got curious.
And the intellect got curious.
What's going on here?
What is this that's taking place?
That was the difference.
That brought the whole thing into focus. into patterns.
At the Monroe Institute, he spent years studying how this shift happened.
One of the key elements was the state the body enters before the transition.
Participants were trained to relax deeply, to the point where the body became quiet but the mind stayed awake.
Monroe called this mind awake, body asleep.
In this state, the brain becomes more sensitive to subtle changes.
Breathing slows, muscles release tension, and internal noise drops.
With less physical input, awareness stops being anchored to the senses.
That's when the shift becomes possible.
To support this process, Monroe developed a series of audio patterns later known as hemi-sync.
These sounds use a simple principle.
When each ear receives a slightly different frequency, the brain tries to match them by creating a third internal rhythm.
This rhythm helps the two hemispheres synchronize and when the brain reaches that balanced state, people often report a feeling of movement pressure, vibration or a sense of separating from the physical position of the body.
Monroe didn't describe this as imagination.
He treated it like a step-by-step procedure.
First the relaxation, then the synchronization, then a change in how the body feels and finally a shift in awareness toward a different point of perception.
Some participants described it as rising.
Others felt like they slid sideways or expanded outward.
The direction didn't matter.
What mattered was that their attention no longer matched the physical senses.
They were still conscious, still aware, but their reference point had changed.
Monroe said this shift is not dramatic once you understand it.
It's simply moving the center of awareness away from the physical body and into another level of experience.
And once someone learned to reach that state, they could begin exploring the structured areas he later mapped.
This takes us to the next part of his work what people actually experienced once they crossed that boundary.
Once people learned how to reach the state, Monroe trained them for something interesting began to happen.
Their reports were not random.
They were not completely different from one person to another.
Instead, many of them described similar environments, similar sensations and similar types of encounters.
This is what made Monroe take the data seriously.
At the Institute, participants were encouraged to record everything right after each session.
They wrote down impressions, movements, sounds, conversations, and any presence they felt.
Over the years, Monroe collected thousands of these records.
When he compared them, patterns started to appear.
Some people described areas that felt organized, not like dreams, which shift constantly, but like places with a stable layout.
Others said they entered what felt like open spaces with no form, only awareness and communication.
A number of participants reported meeting helpers, a term Monroe used for non-physical intelligences that seemed to guide or support them during the experience.
These Helpers didn't act like human beings.
They didn't speak with voices.
Participants described them as thoughts, impressions, or a kind of direct understanding.
There was no fear in these experiences.
The interactions felt calm, structured, and intentional.
Another common report was the feeling of being observed, but not in a threatening way, as if something was monitoring the process, making sure the person didn't push too far, too quickly.
Monroe never claimed to know exactly what these presences were.
He simply noted that the reports were consistent across many participants, even when they had no contact with each other.
There were also descriptions of transition areas, levels that felt close to the physical world and levels that felt far beyond it.
Some participants sensed that these places followed their own rules, independent of the human body or physical environment.
For Monroe, this was important.
It suggested that these states were not personal fantasies, but shared spaces that different people could reach through similar methods.
And as these patterns became clearer, Monroe started organizing them into a structured map.
A map that pointed to something even more complex than these encounters.
Something related to what happens when the physical body is no longer the center of awareness.
All these reports showed Monroe something important.
People from different places and different backgrounds were reaching the same areas of non-physical reality.
The patterns were clear, and they're repeated far too often to ignore.
You don't need to accept every detail to see that his research touched something real, something that goes beyond personal imagination.
Guys, that's it for today's video.
