Emilio OrtizHOST
So you're explaining ascension from that lens.
Emilio OrtizHOST
You also related that to Robert Monroe's work.
Emilio OrtizHOST
I know you're just coming back from the gateway experience, and he called this realm the amnesia producing realm.
Emilio OrtizHOST
And so tying all of that in into where we are in that ascension journey of remembering our multidimensionality while being faced with amnesia, um, are we getting close to a breakthrough point at this time, a tipping point of what it means to release our amnesia and master this earthly realm?
27 MINS LATER
Sarah ElkhaldyGUEST
And so because of that, it's far more nebulous to be like, "Well, we're also patterned in a more invisible way by our soul's memory from past lives." Yeah.
Emilio OrtizHOST
Hmm.
Emilio OrtizHOST
I'd love to go deep on, uh, Robert Monroe's work, and I know you're just coming back from the gateway, and I'm curious to know, after having some time to integrate that experience, what do you feel Robert Monroe was really trying to leave behind as his message and legacy to what this reality really is?
Sarah ElkhaldyGUEST
I think he couldn't say a lot in his time period.
Tyler KiwalaHOST
Following a transformative near-death experience in 2019, he dedicated his life to understanding consciousness and exploring humanity's role in shaping reality.
Tyler KiwalaHOST
Trained at the legendary Monroe Institute, which we're gonna get into today, Crowder combines insights from neuroscience, philosophy, emerging technology, and metaphysical traditions to challenge conventional assumptions about the mind, identity, and human potential.
Tyler KiwalaHOST
And it goes on, but that's just in a nutshell, kinda who you are and what you do.
Tyler KiwalaHOST
So I guess we'll turn it over to you and give you an opportunity to better introduce yourself to us and our audience.
Tyler KiwalaHOST
In, in fact it, it helps me better understand and relate to people in that position.
Tyler KiwalaHOST
Be like, "I, yeah, I was there." Like I, I get exactly why you're, you're there and doing that, you know? So, uh, you know, e- to each their own, but here we are.
Tyler KiwalaHOST
And so this obviously inspired you to train at the Monroe Institute, or how did that actually come into fruition?
Jordan CrowderGUEST
Yeah, that was wild, man.
JonathanHOST
I definitely want us to do that here soon.
JonathanHOST
But I think what we're going to have to do before we do the Gateway Tapes, I need to brush you up on who Robert Monroe was and Itzhak Bentov and stuff like that.
JonathanHOST
And so I think we're probably going to be doing a Monroe... kind of centric episode here soon because it's been a little while and it's very, very good information.
JonathanHOST
So I think we're going to probably be doing that here soon.
James BartleyGUEST
I just couldn't do it.
James BartleyGUEST
And this compelled me to go out and read Robert Monroe's books, because he developed techniques of how to come back to his body.
James BartleyGUEST
So back then we didn't have the internet, as y- you know, so I've always been something of a reader.
James BartleyGUEST
So my way of coming to grips and getting a handle on all this was just to read incessantly anything I could find about the subjects, including astral, uh, out-of-body experiences.
Paul BoultonGUEST
Um, so, you know, you have to do courses and, and all that sort of stuff and genuinely read lots of books to, um, to-- if you wanted to be in this sort of an area.
Paul BoultonGUEST
And, um, but, um, yeah, so one of the, one of the probably most influential books I read in that sort of timeframe was from Robert Monroe, and he's, uh, had the Monroe Institute in Virginia Beach in the States, um, which is where some of our friends were a couple of weeks, uh, couple of weeks ago.
Paul BoultonGUEST
Um, and, um, but it's also the headquarters of, uh, um, um, Edgar Cayce and the, um, Association for Res-Research and Enlightenment.
Paul BoultonGUEST
And Edgar Cayce was called the Sleeping Prophet, who died in 1943.
Paul BoultonGUEST
Um, but they've got 14,000 accredited to him there.
Paul BoultonGUEST
So it's a really interesting little small village on the east c- the Atlantic coast, but it's got this great lineup of things.
Paul BoultonGUEST
So the important thing about Robert Monroe, back to him for a sec, and the Monroe Institute was he trained people to go astral traveling, and he trained tens of thousands of people with the process he had to go out on the silver cord.
Paul BoultonGUEST
And, um, and people could, uh, travel anywhere around the world.
Billy CarsonHOST
It's an audio technology developed by the Monroe Institute based on the use of binaural beats to enhance cognitive abilities and promote specific states of consciousness.
Billy CarsonHOST
So Robert Monroe, the founder of TMI, pioneered research in the field of altered states of consciousness and developed the Hemi-Sync technology to aid in achieving these states.
Billy CarsonHOST
He's talking about states of consciousness, different levels.
Billy CarsonHOST
So your brain and binaural beats, how does it work? So the beats that I create are set up this exact way.
Jordan CrowderGUEST
I was like, "This is nuts." And I was doing this and then so I start searching more.
Jordan CrowderGUEST
Okay, who created Hemi-Sync? Where did this come from? Why aren't more people doing it? And I discovered Robert Monroe, and I got all the Monroe tapes and, and then I just started like doing all the stuff at home.
Jordan CrowderGUEST
I had no idea what I was doing.
Jordan CrowderGUEST
And I started having the wildest like out-of-body experiences and astral travel experiences, and I was going to other dimensions and I had like, like encounters with aliens and non-human intelligence and, and, and people, like people that I don't know, like other people.
Jordan CrowderGUEST
And then I start researching more and I'm like, "Oh, this stuff isn't made for meditation." That's just like a side effect.
Jordan CrowderGUEST
It's made for altering your state of consciousness in a very deliberate way so you can do very deliberate things like travel to other dimensions, have conversations with NHI, all sorts of things.
Jordan CrowderGUEST
And I was like, "Okay, this is nuts." Anyways, long story short, started researching Robert Monroe.
Jordan CrowderGUEST
He's a very fascinating person.
Stilo FreeGUEST
I have a friend who has epilepsy.
Stilo FreeGUEST
And when I was looking into like Robert Monroe and the Monroe Institute and binaural beats and all that stuff, I was learning that.
Stilo FreeGUEST
The way our brains perceive reality, our left brain and our right brain are not synchronized.
Stilo FreeGUEST
You know what I mean? So when you synchronize them, that's when you get into these expanded states of consciousness.
Mary Ella WoodHOST
And they actually report enough apparently successful results that the government kept funding the work and later developed structured training programs to teach people how to do this that weren't actually psychics to begin with.
Mary Ella WoodHOST
Then eventually, what I think is actually the most fascinating was the U.S. Army's exploration into what is called Gateway Process, which is actually a real consciousness training program developed by Robert Monroe and the Monroe Institute.
Mary Ella WoodHOST
And they used guided meditation, deep relaxation, visualization, and what they called hemi-sync, so kind of like binaural beats, to get people into these deep altered states of consciousness while the person was completely consciously aware.
Mary Ella WoodHOST
So this was sort of a non-drug attempt to deliberately alter consciousness.
speaker_6NARRATOR
Through the 1980s it changed managers, sponsors, locations, contracts and codenames.
speaker_6NARRATOR
Some army personnel attended programmes associated with Robert Monroe's organisation, which used audio-assisted altered state techniques called hemi-sync.
speaker_6NARRATOR
A 1983 army paper analysed what was called the Gateway Process.
speaker_6NARRATOR
That document has been turned into a source of elaborate modern stories about portals, out-of-body travel, time travel and hidden dimensions.
