The Gateway Intermediate Workbook is a training manual developed by the Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences, primarily associated with the CIA’s Project Stargate, a secretive program from the 1970s to the mid-1990s that explored the potential of remote viewing for military and intelligence purposes. Remote viewing is a technique where individuals attempt to gather information about distant or unseen targets using purported psychic abilities, without relying on physical senses.
Key Details:
- Purpose: The workbook was designed to train CIA personnel in the techniques and protocols of remote viewing, specifically focusing on Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV). CRV uses alphanumeric coordinates to direct the viewer’s focus to a specific target, allowing them to describe details like location, physical characteristics, or activities psychically.
- Content: It includes lessons and exercises covering:
- Relaxation techniques
- Meditation
- Visualization
- Methods to access the subconscious mind These practices aim to enhance mental focus and coherence, often using sound technology like Hemi-Sync (developed by Robert Monroe) to synchronize brain hemispheres and facilitate altered states of consciousness.
- Structure: The workbook is structured as a series of progressive exercises intended for individuals who have completed introductory sessions, such as the initial Gateway Process training. It builds on foundational techniques to deepen the practitioner’s ability to achieve altered states and perform remote viewing tasks.
- Historical Context: The Gateway Intermediate Workbook is linked to the Monroe Institute’s Gateway Process, a system that uses sound frequencies to enhance brainwave coherence, enabling experiences like out-of-body travel, heightened focus, or psychic perception. The CIA declassified many related documents in the 2000s, sparking public interest in the workbook and its methods.
- Availability: The workbook is available in various formats, including PDF downloads from sites like Scribd or the Internet Archive, and as a paperback through retailers like Amazon and eBay (priced around $8-$12). It was published in its current form around March 2024, attributed to Robert Monroe, with ISBN 9798321237243.
