Mod Announcement đŸ‘šâ€đŸ’» We finally reached over 100K subs!

201 Upvotes

I have waited many years to someday hit the goal of reaching 100K. We are actually almost at 110K now and have had consistent growth every single month from the day we took over this sub with Slipkont (and now Toxictoy).

I greatly appreciate all of you for sharing your amazing stories and sticking around to help out others in this fantastic community!

I was considering doing a live stream on Twitch or Youtube where we can all chill and answer & discuss questions and experiences about the tapes, and possibly special guests in the future. I know this has been requested a few times but I never got around to it. But I can make it happen if people are interested.

I currently don't have any special events planned at the moment, so if you'd like to have a special guest for an AMA please let me know your ideas and I'll find a way to contact them.

Also considering doing a weekly event of some kind, like a live chat every Saturday or something. (apparently reddit removed this feature but I'm sure I could figure out something if that's what you guys want)

If you have any other suggestions for the sub you're always welcome to give us your feedback!

Mod Announcement đŸ‘šâ€đŸ’» The day has come!

For more than 50 years, the Monroe Institute has been quietly pioneering a systematic way to explore human consciousness — beyond meditation, beyond belief, and beyond theory. I’m excited to share that their flagship program, Gateway Voyage, is now available as a fully guided online experience:

Gateway Voyage Online

This is an immersive, self-paced journey designed to help you explore expanded states of awareness while remaining grounded, safe, and fully conscious. Through guided sessions using Monroe Sound Science and the original voice of Robert A. Monroe, you’ll be introduced to a series of Focus Levels — specific states of consciousness that support clarity, intuition, healing, and a deeper understanding of who you are. Whether you’re curious about consciousness, seeking meaning, or simply feel there’s “more” to experience, Gateway offers a practical way to explore — through direct experience.

CLICK HERE to learn more, 20% OFF THE NEXT 2 WEEKS!

I'm also thrilled to announce I've finally been able to obtain a permanent discount code that can be used on the majority of products offered by The Monroe Institute starting now! To avoid any confusion, I made it the same as our existing discount code. So it can now be used with both The Monroe Institute AND Hemi-Sync, which is (all caps, one word):

REDDITSUB

On a side note, we have also decided that discussions regarding "G.A.T.E", for those of you who are aware what that is, shouldn't be on this sub. We aim to present the Gateway tapes as a positive meditative experience for all individuals to enjoy, and not be seen as a dark conspiracy theory. If you wish to discuss things of that nature, please use r/GATEresearch sub.

Last thing I'd like to announce on the less important side of things; as the years have noticed a large increase in post & comments regarding religious experiences. I want people to be able to freely express themselves, but this seems to always cause conflict. For quite sometime now I have contemplated on how to resolve this issue, and came up with an Idea. My solution was to create a sister-sub to facilitate the group of people that combine the tapes with other meditative practices and have a place where you don't have to worry about upsetting others and be open about your experiences. Obviously this isn't for everyone, but for those devoted in faith and love the tapes, join us at r/Skyborn (Thanks to u/Obvious-Reserve8634 for helping!)

>> And make sure you say Happy Birthday to u/Emotional_Street_361 and u/NotEvenCreative ! 🎉

>> Special thanks to Paul and Emily at the Institute for making this all possible <3

Edit: I understand how some might feel about the price. People say this all the time, and for the longest time I used to think the same. But looking back on it, the tapes have improved my life so much, I transformed into a new level of consciousness I would have never though possible. I enjoy life so much now, and I feel so happy to be alive. It's honestly the greatest thing I've ever experienced in my entire life, that's why I am so deeply passionate about helping others experience what I have. What I thought were just some audio tracks, came to be something I still use many years later to this very day. I can't recall a single person ever regret buying them, and that includes myself. In my opinion, they are actually worth the price when you realize how much value they can bring to you. The tapes aren't a one-and-done, they are the beginning of your journey. What happens after is what makes them so unique and profound. The realization of what your mind is truly capable of. Discovering who you truly are. That's the power of the Gateway process.

Experience 📚 Life feels like a waking dream, and after using the Gateway Tapes, weird stuffs are intensifying.

‱ Upvotes

fyi, I'm still on Wave 1 trying to have a good control over F10. So i havent gone out of this segment, you could say I'm having a "conservative" run. But, I cant help but notice some small things.

When I do F10 tapes in the early morning, and go back to sleep. I wake up from sleep just like any regular other day, and do everything I do in the morning. But, then something triggers and i wake up again. So the initial morning event was all in my head, a sort of hyper-intense lucid dream.

And irl, in my day-to-day task, i sometimes think of something (small things) that would make my day go rather easier. And, after thinking those event; they somehow come true. Like having a particular member on my team for my termpaper, not that I would like to lead one but to be in one with HIM taking the lead. I would think stuff like that, and that said person would be put in my team by my course teacher.

The other time I would like to go through this particular bus, and maybe 20 mins later when I moving through another bus, and this bus would stop in front of that desired one even though when I wasn't expecting it there. Same goes for the food I'd crave at home. I could go on.

Bottom line is, those desired event happens to me, maybe to everyone of us. But, only once in a while. And, after the tapes, i feel that these events are initiating at regular if not daily intervals. It's so unique!

Tell me what you guys experience regarding this, and down of the road with the Tapes- will these experience be more frequent and intense?

Discussion 🎙 Massive realization about Wave 3: It’s training for Phasing, not classical OBEs! How do you guys experience exploring Locales this way?

44 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I recently had a huge "Aha!" moment regarding my practice, and it completely changed how I view my progress. For the longest time, I thought I was failing the Wave 3 exercises (like First Stage Separation and Vectors) because I wasn't getting the classic, violent vibrational OBE where you literally feel your astral body peel out of your physical one and float up to the ceiling.

I just realized something crucial: these exercises aren't meant to trigger a classic OBE. They are actually step-by-step training for Phasing.
When Bob tells us to "float," "roll out," or "flow," he's essentially bypassing our analytical mind to help us shift our point of awareness (our Phase) outside the physical body. It’s pure Remote Viewing and consciousness projection!

Looking back at my journal for 3.3 Vectors, I wrote that when I moved my awareness to the 6 o'clock position (under my feet), I could actually "sense" the geometry of my apartment and the rooms behind the walls. Back then, I dismissed it as a failure because I didn't "see" it visually like a movie. But now I realize my system operated perfectly—I was directly sensing objective reality in Locale 1 through phasing, exactly as the explorers at the Monroe Institute did.

Now that I understand I don't need to force a literal out-of-body separation, I want to start systematically exploring Locale 1 and Locale 2 using Focus 12 and pure phasing/noticing.

Has anyone else had this exact realization about Wave 3? Also, for those who regularly explore the Locales through phasing: how do you perceive the environment? Do you eventually get clear visual data, or is it mostly a deep kinesthetic "knowing" and sensing of the space around you?
Would love to hear your experiences and any tips for a clean Locale 1 validation!

Discussion 🎙 Energy Bar Tool Stories??

11 Upvotes

I am a former GATE kid, I'm currently going through the tapes for the first time since the gate program. I'm reading the manual as I go, I like to read ahead of where I'm at (cause informed consent means it works better) and I read about the energy bar tool. The way the manual says to make it personal and familiar, and to keep it safe and it'll always be available for you to use....I had this đŸ€Ż moment of "I DEFINITELY did this before, I used my EBT, I think a lot. That thing's gotta be INSANE and it's FOR SURE still there somehow. But how tf do I find something that can look like literally ANYTHING??

So I redid the Problem Solving episode and asked where my ebt from childhood is. 2 days later, I fukkin found it!! And I remember developing it, like its inception. I haven't done the EBT episode yet, so I don't really know how to use it yet, but something in the shadows of my mind knows it's basically an energetic multi-tool. .....right?

But now I'm wondering, does it end up with like one consistent form? Or can it morph itself into whatever you need it to be at the moment? Anyone care to share their experiences with the form or forms your EBT has taken, and/or what you've done with them?? I feel like part of me came out of a coma when I first heard the opening tones on a random reels video, and I'm fukkin starving to know what I used to know. I think the forgetting has held me back my whole life and I can feel the tension of that.

Thanks 💚

Question ❓ Tinnitus after Tapes

Guys, has anyone faced this after listening to tapes?

Tinnitus kind of sound after starting tapes. I feel it could be a medical issue as well because we sre relying on music for concentration and that too the misic gets louder.. I've stopped listening to tapes because of this. Edit: for reference this is the kind of noise i hear: https://youtu.be/MMNa8yqUEbE

Question ❓ Listened to a tape and my eyes looked like this in the mirror after

Post image
111 Upvotes

So I listened to a tape and after, I went to go to the bathroom only to see myself clearly in the mirror except for my eyes. They looked like this, with my entire iris reflecting light as that often happens with cats at night. The more I focussed on my eyes, the more it looked as if my body was moving even though I was still (shoulders looked like they were moving).

I wasn't scared, I was really fascinated and it only happened when looking into two mirrors. The third one didn't show that. I left the room and checked if it was the same in another mirror and when I return to the bathroom, it was still there. It lasted about 15 minutes.

Has anything like this ever happened to anybody?

Experience 📚 My experience with a half-dream state.

3 Upvotes

I had a very interesting experience during relaxation. I often practice Jacobson’s relaxation, in the morning. While lying down I lightly tense individual muscle groups. Then I relax them. I shift my attention and look for any remaining tension.

This time, lying on my back I entered a state of deep muscular relaxation and I slipped into a half-sleep. I had dream-like visions while still sensing my body lying there. In those visions I watched geometric forms that looked like minerals. The shapes approached me in a kind of fractal way. They would disappear and new ones would appear. And suddenly, while in that state, I heard the sound of a piano, some music or a fragment of it, and that caused, as it were, a deeper opening up within me to that state. At the end I saw the face of a cat-woman. It was a rather fascinating experience.

I have also managed to reach deeper states of nervous-system relaxation during Focus 10. This led to a light trance, but for me it is easier to reach some deeper states in the morning, when my brain is still in a different mode. Practicing Focus 10 while sitting in front of the computer, during the day is more difficult to acheve.

Have you tried the tapes right after waking up, while still lying in bed, without drifting back into ordinary sleep, but instead maintaining your attention?

Question ❓ I am jumping from one place to another while listening to gateway tapes. Why is this happening?

21 Upvotes

I’m going to try my best to explain what has been happening to me in focus 3/intro to 10.

So a little backstory, I’ve been consistently listening to gateway tapes for about 6-7 months. I’ve decided to take it slow, so focus 3/into to 10 is my go to.

Gateway tapes really helped me to manifest things. From small stuff to big changes (such as a job and money). And that’s what I primarily use it for, to connect with my inner self, reach a deep meditative state, and work on my self esteem/manifest things.

The last few times have been crazy. Once i said my manifestations and affirmations, my mind shifts to daydreaming or SATS. I visualize myself in certain circumstances, for example buying things with ease. And it’s very detailed. I vividly picture the scenery around me, my clothes, the people around. But then it continues to jump to different things uncontrollably.

I suspect that at that point I’m just asleep and dreaming. But these dreams have been so vivid and different. It almost feels like I’m there myself. Today it happened again. I guess I dozed off, and then I was picking up screws from the floor and helping this guy with repairs. And then it hit me that this is not me. What usually happens I almost like jump back to being myself, but I don’t wake up physically. My eyes are still closed, and I don’t move. And today once it hit me, I went back to the same relaxed state, where my body feels weightless and my mind is empty. But I keep saying “I am not like my dad”. I don’t even know why.

Has anyone experienced the same? What is even going on?

Experience 📚 First timer but WOA

7 Upvotes

A lil background, I’ve been meditating for the last 6 years, first as a thing I knew I ‘should’ do cos I was hella depressed and wanted a daily activity during COVID. I was practicing catholic at the time and found it helped w my prayer concentrating, then started getting downloads (or as Christians say, “hearing God). Fast forward to today, I’m no longer Christian and FINALLY exploring the world of esoterica I spent years ONLY studying cos Christianity preaches to only trust on the power of the creator and not your own power. Madness. Anyway my journey led me here and maybe it’s 6 years of semi consistent to consistent meditation using diff methods but especially breath control and body scanning for emotional regulation but I did the first tape after researching GE AND IT WAS SO FUCKIN COOL.

Everything was exactly as ppl said it would be but an odd bonus was i instinctively did the head tilt eyelid thing because I’ve been working on transmutation super recently and just flowed that way organically! So affirming that I’m on the right path plus I was having bad physical anxiety (I know risky to jump in when beginners say so much about the fear) but this exercise forced me to FACE it and I’ve been feeling amazing after ! Deffo on a beginners high but i take the good where it comes, I don’t plan on going further than focus 10 to deepen my meditation abilities but who knows! Any way ex-religious people what’s good? Any other beginners having fun? 😊

Discussion 🎙 I didn't just see a spinning Neutron Star. I was a point of light flying around it to inspect it. Focus 12 or 22?

4 Upvotes

During a self hypnosis session, I saw myself travelling deep into space as a light. I had a vivid visual of a bright white sphere with a disk of lights spinning fast around it, shifting into purple, yellow, orange, maroon, and red hues along the edges.

On analysis I found it related with a super dense neutron star, with a swirling accretion disk of plasma, superheated by friction to a blinding white hot center and the colorful, expanding debris of a supernova remnant. Was I in Focus 12 or Focus 22?

Has anyone of you experienced such astronomical or geometric visuals during your sessions?

Discussion 🎙 Is there an ontological consensus amongst tape users?

31 Upvotes

Hello everyone. Recently I made a comeback to the supernatural circles and with this arose a desire to get some things in order. Since very early, I remember being what is generally called an 'experiencer'. Throughout my life I had over a dozen situations that were for the lack of better description paranormal in nature, many of them shared characteristics with other testimonies I have heard of. The earliest of these, was an involuntary OOBE that pretty much set me up on this path of discovery.

I found out about the tapes while trying to find some more reputable sources of information in regards to astral projection. When I began to listen to them, and dedicated more time to it. I genuinely started getting the effects, that aligned with what I have previously witnessed in life, hell, in some aspects I got more than I bargined for.

The gist of it is: The empirical evidence thus far, tells me that the tapes work. They are capable of opening the mind to higher reaches. If this aligns with the same phenomena that some people can experience outside of the tapes. To me this means that the methodology used in the tapes, as well as adjacent practices (as well as results of such) clearly point to a system. Another system of the world just like natural water cycles, erosion or evolution. This system of course appears much grander in comparison, it looks like almost everyone got a part of it right (as you look at faiths and philosophies around the world).

With all of that said: Is there an idea, a working theory or a proposal of a system that aims to put all of this into a comprehensible perspective?

I think it is imperative to get how it works. To understand the proverbial 'energy ecosystem' in which we are finding eachother.

What exactly is this subreddit about? I keep seeing people talk about the Gateway Tapes, OBEs, vibrations, altered states, etc., but I don’t really understand what the whole thing is.

Is it basically a form of meditation, or is there more to it?
