Jordan CrowderGUEST

So at the beginning, like when I got out of the hospital my body was in really bad shape and like basically no one thought I was gonna make it [laughs] except me.
Jordan CrowderGUEST
11:38
No one's gonna watch this.
Jordan CrowderGUEST
11:39
Everyone's gonna think I'm crazy." But I did it.
Jordan CrowderGUEST
11:41
And then it like went viral and, um, like my TikTok got like 400,000 followers and it had 200 million views, and I'm just talking about the weirdest shit in the world, and I'm like, "Whoa, this is crazy." So one day, [laughs] totally uninstigated, like I never reached out to him or anything, I get this call, or actually it started out as an email from the Monroe Institute, and they're like, "Hey, we're all here watching your TikToks." And I'm like, "What?" So I thought it was like a prank at first.
Jordan CrowderGUEST
12:07

Billy CarsonHOST

This is nothing new.
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
0:35
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
0:46
He's talking about states of consciousness, different levels.
Billy CarsonHOST
2:17
So we mirror.
Billy CarsonHOST
2:19
It's the mirroring neurons taking over, okay? This means you can use binaural beats to entrain your mind to reach a certain mental state.
Billy CarsonHOST
2:30
They discovered this in real laboratories, and that's why the CIA said, "We gotta look into this because this is pretty interesting." In order to describe the Monroe Institute technique for achieving altered states of consciousness, the Gateway Experience, involving brain hemisphere synchronization, or Hemi-Sync, the most effective way to begin is to briefly profile the basic mechanics which underlie operation of related methods such as, uh, hypnosis, transcendental meditation, and biofeedback.
Billy CarsonHOST
2:59
[clears throat] It is easiest to effectively describe what Gateway is by beginning with a short description of those associated techniques that share some common aspects with the Gateway Experience, but which are nevertheless different.
Mary Ella WoodHOST
45:45
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
45:59
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
46:13
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
46:27
So this was sort of a non-drug attempt to deliberately alter consciousness.
