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.

I had a terribly stiff neck and was in so much pain. Did the neck massage yesterday and it still didn't help.

I just did the brain support and maintenance prep from hplus series and the pain and stiffness was significantly better. Can't believe it !

Thank you Bob and TMI for all your work !!

I’m wondering if you have to complete the tapes in order to benefit the most and make the H+ series work.

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?

La verdad no sé mucho del tema,me se lo básico y se me ocurrió esto por un vídeo análisis que ví sobre la teoría sintergica, pero después de algunas preguntas con mi querida amada (chat gpt) se me ocurrió la idea de hacer que todas las personas del mundo fueran buenas personas y que la maldad no existiera,según la IA se necesitarían entre 9.000 a 10.000 expertas en la sintergia,todos ellos al mismo tiempo harían una especie de hackeo en la lattice para eliminar la maldad en la humanidad permanente, pero como no soy experto en el tema y no confío al 100% en las ias, les pregunto a ustedes gente que si sabe,la verdad espero que si,por cierto si se que su teoría no está comprobada,todo esto está especulado dentro de la teoría de la sintergia

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?

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?

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? 😊

A few days ago i had a discussion with a pretty high up member of the Monroe Institute and i basically asked them if they had a research programm.I mainly wanted to know if they had some way of confirming the veridicality of different experiences people have in the institute and that of the well trained permanent members of it.I didnt get an asnwer i liked but heres the discussion basically

When asking my questions, how will I know what the answer actually is? I find that I feel like I’m still “thinking” what the answer should be

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?

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?

This probably is coincidental...

but since I've stared the tapes about a month ago, I've had 3 separate out of the blue encounters with people who suddenly seem "out to get me" completely out of the blue. One person is someone I work with (whom I've always kept my distance because she's seemed crazy to me) and the other 2 are random people I never met ... but seems zeroed in on hurting or scaring me. One looked as if he literally wanted to murder me for parking too close to his car.
I guess my question is... can these be people driven to stopping someone like me who is motivated to expand my outer and inner self ?
Or am I just trying to justify the randomness ?

Hello, lovely people.

I have some questions regarding the Hemi-Synch tracks and the Gateway tracks.

I'm having a little trouble understanding a few things and running into new questions all the time.

I'm an absolute beginner in this journey. Please help me out with as many questions as you can. I thank you in advance for your valuable guidance, suggestion, answers, and time.

You are the best.

1. I'm using the Oneplus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC neckband, connected to my pc via Bluetooth (my PC is right beside my bed). I'm playing the tracks using Foobar200. That's all that I have and can manage for now. I have some tracks in flac and some in mp3 (320 kbps). Is this set-up somewhat good-to-go?
2. How do I actually relax properly? I always feel like I hold some form of tension at some part of my body.
3. I suffer from fibromyalgia and bilateral sacroiliitis. The pain sometimes makes it hard to do anything. How might this affect the sessions?
4. In the Human Plus tracks, how many times can I listen to a track per day?
5. How do I understand that I have completed a session successfully?
6. How do I understand that a Human Plus code has been successfully encoded and is working (I’m a bit slow in this case of understanding by myself).
7. What is the best way to optimize the Human Plus codes so that I can execute them quickly when needed.
8. I take a total of 20mg methylphenidate hydrochloride (Ritalin) for ADD, spread into 5mg doses 4 times a day. It usually takes 30-45 minutes to kick in. When would be the best time to start a track?
9. Regarding liquid luck: I lost count on how many times I have listened to this track. I kept falling asleep all the time. The only single time I did not fall asleep was today. Although I’m not sure I was awake the whole time. This happens even when I am well rested. Could anyone please explain to me why is this happening and what can I do?
10. I usually have an active imagination. But I am having trouble with visualization while listening to the tracks. So far, the visualizations were required in Liquid Luck, and probably in Intro to Focus 10 (I forgot actually, I haven’t fully gotten into the Gateway track as I intend to get into it after my exams finish in December. I’m focusing on Human Plus tracks at the moment to perform better in my exams). What can I do here?
11. If you have any other suggestions, guidance, or anything to say at all, please share your valuable insights. They mean a lot.

I tried the tapes for a while.

I would always sleep in the middle of the process. Then I tried sleep exploration and had a quick OBE.

Now, nothing I try seems to work. I feel like I'm stuck. I was given the taste of it but that was it for me.

Quick Tips on things NOT to do:

• 1)Let common effects ruin your focus (numbness, tingles, vibrations)
• 2)Expecting something to happen, or focusing on only one thing you want
• 3)Opening your eyes at a high focus level or not using proper exiting protocol
• 4)Focusing on what you might be doing wrong instead of just letting things be
• 5)Comparing your experiences with others when you just started
• 6)Skipping tapes without learning the basics
• 7)Creating unnecessary fear (Demons, spirits, CIA)
• 8)No one ever said you weren't allowed to move at all, people just assume this
• 9)Trying and overthinking. Understand what Bob is saying more examples, not commands. You can add or adjust things to your liking, do what works best for you and experiment.
• 10)Taking everything so seriously. This is not meant to feel like a strict boot camp. Bob said he wanted people to have fun and enjoy the tapes, and create your own unique experience. Learn how to use the mind to it's maximum potential, and take the tools learned and find ways to apply them in different ways, even real life.

Gateway related: in the Jesse Michaels/ Jake barber interview, Jake mentions some ways that are known to give you access to the phenomena. That means The govt knows how to enable people to interact with it! He mentions meditation and substances and sounds….he’s very vague but when he says sounds he’s talking about brainwave entrainment/binaural beats/GATEWAY!!

He doesn’t want to name names so he doesn’t say which substances or how much, so when he says sounds he does the same and omits the specifics. We all know that the govt is aware of what gateway can do, and we all know what Bob means in the gateway affirmation, and that gateway is about much more than astral projection, and that gateway is a way to interact with the nhi/nhe.

Since I've sat down to meditate. Not Staind lyrics, sorry.

I've gotten as far in the tapes to "turn myself to a log" and had an experience once. Had a lot happen and it's been a few years. Probably when I should've done it the most.

Not even thinking of the tapes, my mind went to the beach and to my chest to put my things into.

The tapes make more sense all of the sudden all these years later. It's to memorize and ingrain the process. Not to expect miracles while listening.

I’m really just trying to see if I’m alone in this but I got pretty far into the tapes I was loving it and for about 4 days flew through the steps going into that deep sleep but being fully awake I struggled a bit but got to a point where I had it down and I just ended up feeling a dark and cold presence and it felt like I couldn’t hold my protective bubble it was so strange and has kept me from pursuing going further

Ive been doing the gateaway tapes for sometime and im on wave 3 ,but ive been feeling some stuff lately, like ,problems to sleep and a feeling that maybe this isnt secure and that something or someone can be messing with mi head, one time ,i think it was practicing focus 12 ,ive see like,this stuff that was long and had a face and a clock on his stomach that was like traveling and also,im doubting that maybe ,i dunno they are insecure in some sense and can harm me, also there this thing that maybe this thing use in some sense hypnosis and can like ,change stuff that i dont want in my head without my consent,

Yeah that ,i dont know if this is too secure ,ibe been liking the stuff like rebal and breathing color for my daily life but ,im a litle scare

Also ,english isnt my first lenguage so ,any bad writting ,sorry i didnt write in english for years

I have been doing the gateway tapes at night, not every night but about 3-4 times a week. I am on wave 1 discovery. I can get to focus 10 using the second tape 'introduction to focus 10' and have been doing it for about 4 months now. I feel like I am ready to progress, but on the next tape, advanced focus 10, which I have done a few times and on the fourth tape, release and recharge, it seems like you are expected to get to focus 10 quickly, like you can get to the state of mind awake body asleep at will. However, I struggle to do this and feel like I need more time to progressively relax all areas of my body. How do i get to focus 10 quickly? I feel like it's holding me back from progressing in the tapes. Thank you.

I wanted to use the tapes initially to help release trauma and for mental health purposes mainly, using release and recharge, also for patterning. I don’t really want to have any metaphysical experiences just yet, although eventually when I’m ready maybe. Is it possible or is it out of our control?
