That is just great.
Bob Monroe 00:13
Wow. When did you did you fiends dream Aleta focus gets worse as it goes on.
Bob Monroe 00:34
thinking whether we can put this year what we've been thinking about in the metal music vein
is to do some super rap music. This is perhaps the beginnings of it not in this tonality. But why
should all the kids get their rap, let's get our own rap, you know. And we could do some real
beautiful stuff on it. So if any of you are in the mood or modality to make a nice long pattern
rap that we can use dropping off in the next few weeks, stick it in the mail or whatever. And
that, of course, is the prime question that you have right now. And that is you're in a reentry
process. You're doing very well. Am I dead? That's great. Yeah, you needed the interesting
course. Interesting part is that when you go back to your home base, here, wherever here is
and people ask you what you've been doing all week, you're gonna have some problems.
What will you tell Oh, what'd you do? What'd you do? Well, we slept around
Bob Monroe 02:11
and you'll be so laid back they'll know that. They're so just to compound the problem. And you
know, we do have a Mac Aveda and St. It will get make it tougher. So what I'm going to pass
along to you is thing that you can say that you hate, you did learn a gateway. The point is, you
may have only a rare opportunity to use it. But basically what is it works this way you take you
and make a fist out of a stick the thumb like that. And then you make this motion. And when
you make that motion, you say the boom, boom,
02:58
boom, boom, Nick, boom, boom, litter, near boom, boom. Now,
Bob Monroe 03:05
what you're saying is a piece of very, very vulgar, slang, slang off the streets of Moscow. About
three or four years old, or something like that. But it has the meaning is very, very politely as
one can be whether you're saying he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. And
somewhere along the way, if you meet a Russian, especially one from Moscow, Muscovite,
and you've run this off on he will stare open mouth as you say, How did she know that? Nice
little piece of tool to take back with you and that's what you learn the gateway that will certainly
add to the confusion. At a more private level, there are some things you can play with that are
really private, personal fun, but when you're lying in your bed at night, and you are, they're very
comfortable and it's quiet, and you move to 10 or 12 of whatever feels comfortable for you.
Keep your hands down beside you like this. And then as you breathe very easily and calmly
begin to to try to lift your arms up closer on your hands or over your chest. What you want to
do is Abele have that normal feeling of listen, if you're very slow, very slow amount of you'll find
a resistance and it feels as if you're pushing against. Water filled balloon is about the best way
you can describe it. And you push and push and quite stiff arise that finding that because it
isn't the gravity, you can we understand that this is something else, you have to you have to
learn this from the moment you learn it, then you know it. And then all of a sudden, he gets
very difficult to push. And suddenly, it's as if the balloon bursts, and You Your hands will have
a tendency to go up. So we have to pull off this heavy pressure, and then bring them up over
your chest like this way, this is all with your eyes closed. And you do this several times. And
then you cheat and take a squint look at your hands. And if you have done this, you will find
that your hands are transparent. And that you can see through them. And there's a sort of a
glowing ring that outlines your hands on you wiggling, they feel very normal, very natural. And
yet, you can see through them. And then after you squint a little bit further, you go down your
arms, your physical arms and hands are down beside you, you can play with that for a long
time, it's very, once you get that break that surface tension feeling, then it becomes very easy
to do. And you can play with this and all sorts of ways. And fourth, you find then how very, very
elastic, this other part is of you because lying there you can stretch one arm that goes up
touches the ceiling, you're pushing into the ceiling, there's a little resistance, but you could feel
a full texture, the ceiling, the drywall, insulation, whatever, and go on up, up and up and up, the
arm stretches tremendously. And after going around the youth, I've never been able to put
eyes in my hands certainly not very good. So it gets kind of boring after a while. So then you
go out sideways like this. And that gets most interesting when you live in an apartment
building.
Bob Monroe 06:48
So the next thing is is half you get tired of that and you do you I assure you these you do only
these a certain number of times you get bored with it. But at least you recognize the next thing
you do is that you begin to lift your feet up. And you learn having learned this much easier to
get your feet up and put them together. And you can also see that these have transparency to
them and your other physical legs are down still on the bed. You play with that for a while. And
eventually you get tired of that because the legs are not much more fun in that type of way
than your arms worth. So what you do, then you if you start bringing your legs out like this, you
say Oh, I can just do a little more so you get your hips out. And then do you a get your waist
out and you get your chest off, get your neck out and finally you're all the way out here your
hands are now everything's up except your head and you go Yay. Yay. Yay, you can't get your
head out and I don't know why it doesn't work that way Don't ask him but it doesn't. Maybe you
won't be able to do that you finally give up in disgust because when so as such a natural thing
for you to want to do is to get the rest of the way up to simply pulling your head why that head
locks in. I don't know. So that's something to play with in the
08:08
shadows of your
Bob Monroe 08:09
night when you get a little you're not quite ready for sleep and you want to do something or if
you wake up at three o'clock in the morning ideal because you're rested relaxed and it's awfully
easy. Then to instead do that simply roll like a pole in water and log in water. It's easy to roll
out you really want to do that. Minus universe stuff to stay right within your body and roll out a
face like that so you're facing this way back to back and there's this opening and that goes into
this negative universal world Good luck have a good time. You can stick your hand through
first which is what I did out of curiosity you can feel the outline of in the outline is near identical
to the to the shape of your body and it feels just like a hole to about a one foot thick of
something is about but it feels like it looks like as or as near ability to perceive you reach your
hand to like this I remember about the second or third time that I was playing Regency what I
could find through there. I heard this voice a Rudy Rudy come here and look look at this. I got
the idea this had sticky down through the sea of
09:25
the people who see it anyway.
Bob Monroe 09:32
These are things you can play with local traffic toys as follows. But those will in some way help.
Your reentry process because you can have all these secret vices that you're doing. Nobody
can understand and do and then someday you will tell somebody and they will believe you
what's difference
Bob Monroe 10:06
the other part is that
10:13
you were
Bob Monroe 10:14
given a copy of the age plus exercise where you're not i It's been quite successful all over the
place of astounding astoundingly successful with me I have about three that I use on eight or
10 times a day I would use them in a maintenance thing I could give you a list of the physical
parts of me that this age plus formula has been very successful and these are one diagnosed
type of things that are no longer diagnoseable so very very nice and comforting to know that
you have something you can do that will take care of those kinds of things. And the only ones
that i i We have one that takes care of is for example and improves your seeing what allows up
my seeing so badly with this word processor stuff that that I that doesn't refocus very well after
five or six hours at it one of the things I haven't been able to totally do is handle certain aspects
of what I am in terms of human addictions I'll put it that way which is I guess my basic
remaining addiction to smoking and I smoked the lightest cigarettes that I can get and I do all
sorts of rationalization about it because I'm not in a rebellious mood anymore that I might have
been 12 or 15 and I do stop smoking probably about three hours every 24 hours but all these
very pure people look into the astonishment of how can I possibly smoke and I have a lot of
fun with it I say how can I possibly not smoke but I will probably have to forego that but I before
I forego that I kind of need some particular replacement and speaking of replacement, and I
have a little ritual that I want to follow if you bring my quality things up here I'm sure you take
them face down and because I don't want any disclosures going on
13:05
all right now I'm gonna
Bob Monroe 13:10
bring you a one at a time to go through this ritual because
13:14
in taking care of
Bob Monroe 13:18
I'll start with you. Now what I want you to do is come around and look over my shoulder and
then place within these the things that are significant for you. This is a nice repository box Are
