Bob Monroe 00:00
Well see a few changes
Bob Monroe 00:11
at least the weather lifted so that you could see what's over beyond
Bob Monroe 00:26
Well, if you will look do westerly, you will see a series of ridges leading up to the Blue Ridge.
And that's what we call our launch chute. A very nice, easy way to go cruising. And by next
year, this time, certainly we will have what we call flying free, which are videos of lifting off here
and flying up the chute and lay off. So we will let you know. Let's see, what am I supposed to
do tonight? Ooh, there must be something interesting. We can do tonight. Any profound
questions, let me get rid of those saying I don't know. I'd like to ask about resonance tonight.
What are we resonance to. But it doesn't sound fun to me, it doesn't sound very fun to me. It
isn't because no one is fine. It's very deliberately designed to seeking and that's why you'll find
it shifting off and on just as you unless you have very good musical pitch will shift off and on
until you find that what it does, I trust that you are blowing up through your closed lips and
going like that. And you certainly must feel the vibration in your lips. When you do. All right,
then slowly, that will begin to expand throughout your body. And then after a while, all you will
need to do is to think about it and you will achieve the same thing. We have a lot of fun with
that. The trick is of course that you can be as loud as you want. That's what the rule is here.
You don't have to be self conscious about how much tuning you tune vocally. Because who's
to hear you. That's the beauty of having an exclusive facility where you don't have to worry
about little small details about such things as unusual noises. We used to do that in a
conference room in a motel and you can imagine people doing that and you see all these
doors open people peeking in to see what's going on. They see all these dead bodies lying or
Robert Yes. And you run across any beings in existence who have a better guess about the
existence of God than we have here? Yes.
03:13
And what is what what are you aware
Bob Monroe 03:15
of that's not on the agenda. Okay, if that question remains on answered several nights from
now re ask it. I again hold up the mirror, the tools will let you find that out yourself. It doesn't do
you any good for me to tell you what I have perceived. In essence, if you go and you perceive
and you experience it, you don't need me and that's the truth. And that's the truth I was looking
for a shortcut. You're getting a super short cut now that's the whole point of how short Do you
want to use the brightest how you can condense this whole program if you work at it into about
two minutes at the most. How do you like 12am You mended to all this nice place very
comfortable nice place to be yes
Bob Monroe 04:34
to be done, can be very good at finding different know whatever is comfortable for you and
they and that are resonant tuning pattern is constantly overlapping. So you don't have to be in
sync with that at all. That's the important thing you may breathe differently and your your length
of your your sound may vary considerably. So with that what you hear on the tape? And that's
not important. All you do is do it. If it's two seconds, 10 seconds, doesn't make any difference.
Yeah,
05:12
if I heard you correctly, you just taught me something one year, and that is that we are to
concentrate on them, which I can.
Bob Monroe 05:21
Oh, yeah, you can shout it out. But it's the trickiest bloke, is the whole thing is tuning your jaw.
You can start with all like this, but you'll end up with a boo and you can smile when you do it.
That's a trick if you can do it move. But it is so that you can feel and get acclimated to that
vibrational feeling begins to reach out from very mechanically from your lips. Thank you. Yes,
ma'am.
05:54
I change pitches a lot is
Bob Monroe 05:57
that's all right. Do it in harmony. That's great. Go up there, you know, oh, great, I would expect
you to do that. Go up to go up to a minor third, that would be nice. Or the center that's nice to
play with. Yeah, or you can rip up and down.
06:16
So you don't necessarily need to stay with one.
Bob Monroe 06:21
Now, that is only a baseline from which you operate. You can that's the fun of it is to play with it
as much as you want. I do the arpeggio. Yeah. Great. You do a gliss you're pretty good. Whoo,
that comes close to a wolf howl, but you can make it. That's the fun of it. Where was I going to
do and beat a night? Oh, yes, I know. One of the key things that is the the important step that
you begin to take tonight is the beginnings because you now have encountered 12 From here
on things change, what changes basically this you are into another mode of communication.
We call it NVC or nonverbal communication. And what that means is that, that our whole
culture depends on the written vocal words. What you're encountering now from here on is
another form. That as near as I understand it is the communication used by all other intelligent
species it just by an accident that we use this system. And the sooner you begin to learn this
other system, this, the easier it will be for you to in turn, begin accurately perceiving what is
taking place. And the early symptoms are exactly what you would expect. Some of them are
kinesthetic, others are all sorts of pictures. And very occasionally, one will translate into a word
and that's your real lucky when that happens. That means that there's a momentary
conversion factor that let you interpret something, or you interpret it as a word. And a lot of
audio material begins to come into your pattern that is non verbal, yet it has great meaning.
Music, for example, is a nonverbal form of communication. And so you should do pretty well.
Anyway,
08:44
you're out of your body or you're not even though you wrote down in the book words, what
really happened to
Bob Monroe 08:51
you was totally nonverbal. And that's been the exquisite problem is that when one gets in to
these other reality, other energy systems, they, meaning that energy system does not use
words as we know.
09:10
So part of my problem I see that I don't know about language, and they could be flashing like
crazy. And I wouldn't it would just be nothingness to
Bob Monroe 09:20
me. And that's right. And they would be running all this pattern of communication and you don't
and it runs right by you because you you don't perceive it as communication. This is why I
have a lot of be amusing thoughts as to the way our culture and our civilization looks at
communication. As near as I can perceive it and others. This other nonverbal system is
applicable in all other intelligent species. And here we have these huge radio telescopes out
looking for our F six those coming from someplace else indicate intelligence in other in other
places in the universe. So in the millions of dollars being spent there is much the same as if
someone tried to measure the exhaust coming out of our cars and saying what intelligence is
coming out of that. Here's cars going, Bert, plop plop is put emitting smoke, and somebody
analyzes that, say, what are they saying one of these very similar, because the whole EM
spectrum apparently, is the exhaust from other parts of this physical universe. So it gets kind of
funny to see looking for these particular intelligence signals. NVC is a is a very important but
albeit different difficult step to take. But it's timing. And non. Yeah, I'm using electromagnetic
radiation and I'm skipped over to you. And I went back to nonverbal communication. NBC, we
just love these acronyms, right? No, thanks. So cultural habit, a part of our box, you know,
anyway, think of this as the most major step that you can perform, is to begin to get the hang
of this stuff. And one of the reasons is that, again, our premise is that you are exposed to this
far more than you realize, let me use an illustration. Over the years, there's been an
astounding amount of dream research. And yet some of the most potent dream researchers
within the last five years about ready to give up. Because whatever true application, they begin
to pigeonhole, the whole concept of dreams, it slips out and doesn't fit. If you begin and yours
is the nice beginning to do think of dreams as nonverbal communication. And if you take it from
that aspect, it fits very, very nicely. And this is something that becomes something incoherent,
was slowly become intelligent to you. And it's a great challenge
12:38
images. Well, I shouldn't say. For me, most of the time, dreams are in images that I can relate
to, or they may be disjointed. But they're not foreign central.
Bob Monroe 12:51
Oh, no, that you the only tools that you can understand are the tools within your experience. In
other words, within your memory bank, what other tools are there, you see? So they say, Well,
we're going to make this monkey understand. So we have to take the monkeys understanding
of what is going on, and take it out of his memory bank and twist it together to get a point
across. It's, it's a whole different look at the spectrum of dreaming. And I could graph this very
nicely for you, because this is sort of a hotspot with me. Nobody put any pens out here. How
could that be? Oh, they're all right. Doo doo doo doo doo
Bob Monroe 13:44
must be a bear piece of paper IRS Americans. Thank you. Man. All right. Think of. I'll play this
all the way in San fast and then you'll all be totally bewildered. Think of here is physical waking
consciousness consciousness. T. W. C. Here is non physical.
Bob Monroe 14:23
Okay, all right. Now, as we know there is an ongoing barrier. That is at work. That's why we
think we don't perceive this. But let's, let's take an interesting graph and say that energy is not
energy unless it's in action, massive movement lessons. Performing something. Let's say you
add an entry points here. And an exit points here. You're a series of wave form. Whether you
like to think of yourself as that is not but you are, and you have a big basic waveform. Entry
Exit superimposed upon that waveform is a smaller wave form that goes something like this.
And this is a expanded Of course, so you can understand it or perceive it that is waking and
sleeping. Now, for example, if below this line, if you think of that as being here, below this line
here is the waking part above the line is the sleeping part here. I like to play with words,
because that's all I have at this moment. And so when you sleep you are unconscious, right?
What are you when you sleep? You are not in physical waking consciousness. Where are
you? Where do you go? What do you do? I have a lot of fun with this, these things that we pick
out of our history and our culture. Now I lay me down to sleep. And then what do you say? My
soul the key while you sleep, nevermind the other details while you sleep says Lord, take, take
care of me while I'm sleeping. I'm out there. And then you go over here and see if I should die
before I wake. You pray the Lord, He's gonna take you over there. All right. All these things
have sort of surface down through our culture. But if you go to that fundamental and say that
below here, this enlarged is awake and sleep. Your unconscious, supposedly, supposedly,
what are you doing when you sleep? This is the interesting thing. And I got an old buddy sitting
back there. So we have a lot of fun with this one. But have all of our civilized activity or
purportedly civilized we devote two thirds of it to this. But our animal life or what we think to the
