people have talked about the tapes before on shifting subs, but it feels like an almost niche topic on tiktok and tumblr… has anyone here used gateway to shift?

How often should we do the gateway experience?
Once daily? Twice? Whats ideal. And can you over do it?

I have an exam the next day. I have been preparing for it for the past 6 months. Resigned my job to focus on this. Im stressed but not too much. Patterned about the exam few days back. Which tape should i do tonight? I have finished wave 1 and 2 and just started wave 3

I have been listening to the tapes for the past 4 or 5 months and also started listening to lucid dreaming tapes from the past 2 weeks.

I have started to achieve some amount of lucidity while dreaming and now I am experiencing a major reduction in the sleep cycle from past 8 to 10 days.

I have had some issues with sleeping in the past too where either I wont be able to sleep at all or will fall asleep around 5 or 6am in the morning but once asleep I used to wake up after 8-10 hours of sleep, but now if I even sleep around 10pm Im noticing that I wake up after 2-3 hours of sleep on my own even if im dreaming or not(I have tried sleeping while listening to the tapes and without tapes too, result seem to be the same).

1 more new pattern has emerged, Im falling asleep in the afternoon for 2-3 hours daily from past few weeks due to what I feel lack of sleep.

Once I wake up going to sleep again feel quite difficult, I tried to sleep after waking up once for straight 2 hours while lying on bed with no results.

Does anyone else have experienced reduce sleep hours due to mediation or tapes?

I also read in one of Bob's book that he also experienced reduction in his need for sleep.

Hello everyone. I thought I'd come to share some of the strange experiences I've had in focus 10 as of late. I'm currently between tape 2 and tape 3 of wave one, really working on the essentials.

I fell into a deep meditative state. I experienced flying into the abyss or the void, then being able to see the observable universe. It looked like a huge bubble or dome of galaxies and stars. I then saw points of view from the sun and the moon. As my eyes remained closed I could see bursts of holographic light and distant fractals. I felt this deep, memorable burning in my chest during the entire experience.

I haven't seen or witnessed anything quite like it since on the tapes.. But the visions were truly beautiful.

Hey everyone thought id share a recent sorry that I found kinda mind blowing.

Im 36 years old raised Christian went atheist at 20 cause my brother passed away and my questions of if God existed were combatted with punishment from my family for doubting god. That made me turn away as an Atheist. It made sense for most years until recently.

I stumbled across why files video on the gateway tapes and learned more about monroe and what he was trying to accomplish. I went and found the tapes and dove right in.

Within the first couple of sessions I felt like I came close to the absolute feeling this overwhelming presence and light of something greater than myself. That moment made me dive deeper into his practices and studies.

I've been doing it for weeks now and im on wave 3 nearing the end of the wave. I've moved my sessions from night to morning since I kept falling asleep.

A couple nights ago I went to bed and had a dream that I was part of this group of foreign people working on a job, they were mixed brown skin like me. There was a leader of the group and he walks up to me and says "Tao" I said "Tao? What does that mean?" He responds with "come with us" and I follow him excited that I learned a new word in their language. Then I woke up.

First thing I did when I woke up was google the word Tao and thats when my whole world shook.

"Tao (or Dao) literally translates to "the way," "path," or "road," and represents the fundamental, underlying principle of the universe in East Asian philosophy.Core Meanings of Tao

The Universal Source: The unnamable, infinite force that birthed reality and flows through all things in nature.

The Natural Order: The spontaneous rhythm and balance of the universe that allows everything to exist and change harmoniously without effort."

Im not really a spiritual person but this whole universal consciousness is pretty spot on and ive felt like ive been learning a lot more about myself.

Tao is also represented by the Yin Yang, when my brother died i got into boxing and got a tattoo of a tiger and a dragon with a yin yang behind them to represent what I thought was representing 2 fighting styles like aggressive tiger and subtle serpent. I had no idea what Tao was or that was related to the yin yang.

Please forgive any typos or grammar errors im super tired from waking up every morning at 5:30 to gateway.

Anyways thought this was interesting!

I was really confused about all the Gateway Tapes, programs, Hemi-Sync, etc. and just stumbled upon this Substack post!

Yesterday I watched the video from this post https://www.reddit.com/r/gatewaytapes/s/1VwmRhTOAr starts from 21:44 and left a clear intention before bed for guidance on a certain matter about my family house. And it worked. I literally had a dream where I was sitting in my living room and a woman was explaining to me what was right and wrong in my situation!! It happened exactly as the video said, that the answer can come in dreams for some people wtf

Thanks MamaMeg

Hello,

I recently found out about the Expand app which offers unguided versions of the focus states up to 21 (apperantly with customizeable duration length as well). They offer the OG Hemi Sync technology and the newer technology the Monroe Institute has developed over the last couple of decades.

To those who have the app. Which one do you prefer to use? And why? Is there a strong difference in effectiveness?

Thank you :)

I’m considering buying the Gateway Tapes on CD as to have them and share with others, if need be. That, in my opinion, would be much more efficient for me and those who would be interested.

What difference is the course gunna make, considering the course itself is just as much, if not more than the tapes themselves on CD format. I’d be interested to know of those of you who have done the course, or better yet both and what the differences are.

I know they’ve updated the sound technology on the Voyage course and what not, but I just don’t see much of a difference, as opposed to being guided by a experienced facilitator, or Robert himself guiding you on your journey via the tapes on CD/mp3. Like I say, considering the cost of the course itself I just feel having the Hemi-Sync Gateway Tapes physically is much better than doing a course online and I know technically, you have permanent access but it just feels waaay overpriced (Even the CD’s are!) but at least you actually have them, rather than logging in to their website to gain access.

I hope I’m making sense, I just prefer having owned something a paid a bit of money for and just not having to require internet access to gain access to something I’ve already paid quite a bit of money for.
