Lifeline brings participants to the Park and its reception center in Focus 27. The Institute says Exploration 27 takes you beyond the Park and Reception Center, which participants will have explored earlier, and into four further Focus 27 areas, the Education Center, the Planning Center, the Healing and Rejuvenation Center and the Coordination Center, which it says participants explore in detail. It describes Focus 27 as a state that opens access to creativity, information, healing and a universal love energy. Who can take it, and how the week runs The Institute lists Exploration 27 as an advanced five-day, six-night residential program. Admission requires an application and approval, and graduation from one of several earlier advanced programs, with Lifeline among them; only one is required. The days run from about 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. in morning, afternoon and evening exercise blocks supported by Hemi-Sync audio, with breaks between. Graduates describe listening in individual chambers, which they call CHEC units, with trainers and friends nearby. I-There: Monroe's term for the larger self

The Institute describes I-There consciousness as Bob Monroe's term for an energetic composite of all your personalities and experiences from other lifetimes, and says it is readily available in Focus 27. Participants may, it says, take away insights for their consciousness journey, past, present and future, retrieve historical data, examine artifacts, develop ideas for new creations and connect with nonphysical intelligences. It adds that graduates return with experiences they can anchor in daily life. Focus 34 and 35: the Gathering The Institute says Focus 27 can serve as a springboard for visiting Focus 34 and 35. At the 2000 professional seminar, an Institute speaker introducing Skip Atwater said he speaks to the Beyond Exploration 27 group just when they are exploring those levels, the area Monroe described as the Gathering, and that Atwater concludes there is no separation and that love is the force binding it all. Susan Taylor, an art teacher and Institute outreach trainer, wrote that she went to Exploration 27 anticipating the great adventure of experiencing the Gathering in Focus 35. The Healing and Regeneration Center, the most studied place
Atwater says the Healing/Regeneration Center is a Focus 27 experience tied to the Park or reception center concept from Lifeline. In a two-year qualitative study he asked 87 experienced participants in the Institute's Beyond Exploration 27 program to describe it, sealing the question in an envelope until afterward so that expectations would not color the answers. Seventy-two percent wrote an answer. The Institute's page today says participants may invite physical or emotional healing, release, forgiveness or a stronger life force, at their own choice. What participants report Accounts range widely. One participant wrote in the Hemi-Sync Journal that Focus 27 felt like home and that, when instructions came to return, they reacted with an adamant no way. Taylor met two personalities in Focus 35, nicknamed Heckle and Jekyll, and says that as she descended to ordinary reality they said she would receive a gift: a constantly available doorway into Focus 35. Atwater recalls that when he asked who gave Bob the Hemi-Sync idea, he was told to look it up in Focus 27's library, where the answer had to do with shape. Bringing it back: creativity and daily life
