Is anyone familiar with the<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.monroeinstitute.org/index.htm">Monroe Institute</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->?<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>The Monroe Institute programs encourage the evolution and growth of human consciousness through personal exploration of profound states of expanded awareness by utilizing Hemi-Sync®. Many who attend programs develop a different overview, a changed perspective from which life's experiences seem to take on new significance. Our programs consist of a carefully sequenced series of learning exercises designed to provide positive experiences. Step-by-step, the participant learns methods to move comfortably along a continuum of consciousness, shifting between one phase (or focus of consciousness) and another. Experiencing these phase-shifts to visit and integrate non-physical energy systems is a key element in all the programs.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>The founder, Robert Monroe, claims to have had out of body experiences in his book, <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.hemi-sync.com/shop/customer/home.php?cat=18">Journey Out of the Body</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->:<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>In 1958, a successful businessman named Robert Monroe began to have experiences that drastically altered his life. Un predictably, and without this willing it, Monroe found himself leaving his physical body to travel via a "second body" to locales far removed from the physical and spiritual realities of his life. He was inhabiting a place unbounded by life or death. His record of these explorations has comforted millions of people who have experienced paranormal incidents.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>But more interesting is the research director <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.monroeinstitute.org/programs/rvpract.html">Skip Atwater</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->:<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>F. Holmes “Skip” Atwater, Research Director at The Monroe Institute, is the primary trainer of the Remote Viewing Practicum. Years ago, Skip was the Operations and Training Officer for the U.S. Army Intelligence remote-viewing surveillance program. He worked closely with the scientific efforts of SRI International and trained career- minded professional intelligence personnel to remote view. He then used these highly skilled psychic spies to assess the security threat posed by a hostile government's exploitation of remote-viewing surveillance and planned, conducted, and reported thousands of remote viewing intelligence-collection missions for a variety of US intelligence agencies.<br></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://satwater.www9.50megs.com/skipatwater.htm">From another website</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>During the cold-war era, F. Holmes “Skip” Atwater used his natural psychic aptitude as a U.S. Army counter-intelligence special agent. He initiated the remote viewing intelligence program now known to the world by the code name STAR GATE, which used technology developed by Robert Monroe to train professional remote viewers including the renowned Joseph McMoneagle.<br> <br><br>Atwater speaks at several conferences around the world each year. He has been on radio shows such as Coast to Coast AM, and has appeared on nationally televised programs including Sightings, the Life Science Foundation public television documentary Intuition, the A&E series The Unexplained, The Learning Channel series Science Frontiers, and the A&E two-hour special Beyond Death. He lives near Charlottesville, Virginia.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>Someone I met a couple of years ago had attended seminars at the Monroe Institute and was encouraging me to go. It kinda gives me the creeps now, reading about Atwater's connection to our govt. and military! <p></p><i></i>
