[00:42:00] about death that's over here and that'll happen when they're through doing what they have to do but this is a um this is one of the most fascinating things that has come out of this over uh overlay profile stuff that we've done with these people who've been in the program uh and the interesting part is that you can then begin after playing with that profile begin to spot people in their various motivations for for being and some who also I might add are
[00:42:30] desperately trapped in time space and would do anything short of uh the morality structure that they with which they've been imbued they would not do those things but they do about anything else to get permanently out of the scene and some of them then possibly in desperation uh uh either take a long suicide route or a short suicide route okay and there are there is much of a difference why are we so Specialized or localized as an awareness why did we
[00:43:00] choose to be this way why are we specialized I I think it's principally by choice U uh again the life pattern that you selected as a series of opportunities and in those series of opportunities U they are predicted opportunities but certain situations or certain events may not let you exploit that that given opportunity that you thought you would have and this
[00:43:30] I think is where we have turnaround problems uh in uh in the expectation in that given life I think that's quite quite prominent there no end of probabilities is whichever one you CH that's right but so life you entered this particular life with a set series of opportunities that you could perceive on a probability base the fact that they didn't turn out that way is may not have been quote your fault or the fault of
[00:44:00] anything else except an intense system of variables and it can be kind of no matter what the probability is it's all experience anyhow that's right you have to get that overview um that's the other part overview I think is is a key to this U this whole question of research effort and the results of it and overview is is what I think we to help people gain and that overview has to deal with what time
[00:44:30] space is what it is and and not only why you're here but what it is because if you obtain that then your participation here will be much different it'll much be much more profound to you to understand it and one of our favorite phrases developed is that uh time space H is local traffic and uh Earth living is local local traffic traff and so therefore we turn around
[00:45:00] and say to the individual well think of that and all the messy local traffic things in uh which are local inculturation local superstitions um local Illusions local misconceptions and that's all local traffic and this is local local traffic uh the Earth is a backwash in the backwash of the backwash of time space so uh if you think of that and then think of uh what we call Interstate which is above all of that
[00:45:30] without any of the local trafficing where you can go at 55 M hour and faster if nobody's looking um and how much different that is and the minimal problems one encounters because the flow you're part of a flow in One Direction or the other so that's what we do we like to play with and it's very very important to begin to get that that overview that different State and I other thing yeah I keep thinking of
[00:46:00] things that I should say uh one of the things that is our with working with all participants volunteers and anything else is it we have a fundamental Rule and that is that you must verify for yourself um whatever I say for example uh is a product of my own interpretation and the interpretation of of the results that we have uh the results that we have achieved uh
[00:46:30] so there's there are filtration processes that work at even at what I speak and and convey to you so therefore we have a firm rule whatever uh I may say whatever comes out of the Institute whatever uh you get in life in information you have the methods and we attempt to provide the tools with those methods to determine the reality of them that and it's up to you to verify it in
[00:47:00] your own not take uh anything as valid until you know it yourself so what I say uh you can say it's interesting and you can say well I believe you but to know is something else this is your own job have you worked with any terminal cases recently have we worked with any terminal cases recently uh unfortunately no the reason has been principally that uh most terminal cases need to be uh
[00:47:30] working in our program as it were uh through the physician and Physicians generally don't like to have that kind of responsibility and in a way you can't blame them because it is an unknown factor as far as they're concerned however uh we did have an interesting opportunity and it was during one of the and Gateway programs uh some months back that and I say interesting advisedly but here was the event uh we
[00:48:00] had one program uh and this woman was due to uh attend it and some by something that we didn't understand in getting on or off the plane she broke her leg and this was up in Washington DC airport uh that they discovered this and so that she was taken to a hospital in Arlington with a broken leg and she stayed there for some six or
[00:48:30] seven weeks and uh until she could attend the next Gateway program and then she in turn arrived on the scene on crutches at this this following program and uh a very uh warm and pleasant woman uh I would say she was in her 50s and uh as she got into the program we put
[00:49:00] her where she could didn't have to walk up and downstairs on her crutches and as a result uh about uh she she came in on a Saturday and by Tuesday thereabouts we had learned that she uh was indeed a terminal case that she had uh she had some form of cancer and she had been determined uh to attend our
[00:49:30] Gateway program and as a result had uh that's why she had stayed in the hospital instead of attempting to return to her home in the southwest in between programs anyway on about Wednesday of the program uh she notified our instructor that she had to go to the hospital because of the fact that she uh needed a blood transfusion and so we hustled into uh the University
[00:50:00] of Virginia hospital and uh installed her there quite concerned and um that was on a Wednesday and on a Thursday uh uh I got in to see her and she was in intensive care and as a result uh uh she was in uh on oxygen and and if you she was breathing in this
[00:50:30] very deep uh uh oh not quite a panting breath but it was almost that and uh in that particular mode she was uh if you didn't try to call her name or anything she just lay there and she was dropping out in the way so I uh called to her and she immediately responded and we had a very pleasant conversation and she did not appear to be in in very deep pain but um the tape recorder or tape player that
[00:51:00] we had left with her was not in use because the nurses didn't know how to operate it and she asked would I please get it set for her and what we had given her was a special set of tapes to use in the hospital and uh in intensive care anything they can do to help in this case anyway they were glad to let her have it so it seems that the uh it was very simple to push one button and get the tape recorder going and so I put the headphones on her and uh started to play
[00:51:30] the tape and uh she looked up and thanked me very graciously with a great sense of meaning in her eyes and her and the moment the tape started she began to breathe very easily and steadily and as if just as if she were going to sleep so there was no point to my sitting there much longer and holding her hand so I gently disengaged myself and uh then in turn went on um the I guess it was U about 5:00 the next
[00:52:00] afternoon the hospital called me to state that uh this uh woman I'll call her Jane had died just a few minutes before uh I felt mixed things of course U but certainly a little bit of sadness and also not knowing truly how how much pain she'd been in uh I didn't in turn
[00:52:30] uh feel anything other than this is what was scheduled to happen in any event we had a a an exercise session about to start so and the group here were very much aware of of course that this woman was in the hospital but they were not aware of course that she died so I Sy them into Focus 12 with a very simple instruction I said just go and
[00:53:00] perceive what you do and what what is there for you at this time interestingly enough fully half of them after the session in debriefing I reported all these different statements about this woman Jane uh one of them for example that she met uh Jane uh and Jane was on the bank of a stream about to cross this bridge and uh our pisma tried to cross the bridge with with her and Jane said no you have to
[00:53:30] stay on this side because you not ready to cross the bridge yet but I am and she went on and another one um uh reported n of our participants reported in and said that um he had uh met Jane and that uh Jane was had thrown her crutches up in the air and was with this bright joyous uh smile on her face was saying I'm free I'm
[00:54:00] free and there were things like that and as a result uhu in looking at at it from that point of view uh it was quite natural that uh that night um I went to check out on Jane myself and in checking out with her uh I did finally uh get in touch with her I'll put it that way and I found out why she had gone to the hospital which I thought was a very
[00:54:30] touching thing uh her reason for going to the hospital was not for a blood transfusion it's simply that she knew she was going to die and um she didn't want to embarrass Us by dying here at the Institute and that was a very warm thing and to have that type of consideration because we have never had that happen I suppose it will someday with a terminal case here but we would
[00:55:00] like to be set up for it before it happens so that's sort of the story of Jane and our recent terminal case and there you have it one report from one transducer as it were and much like all the others it poses more questions than it answers hm perhaps he should write that other book well this is Robert Monroe saying
[00:55:30] I'll see you around I hope
[00:56:00] e for
