Exploration 27 Exploration 27 goes beyond the Park into Focus 27's four centers, the I-There and optional visits to Focus 34 and 35, with accounts from graduates. Exploration 27, known as X27, is the Monroe Institute's advanced residential program for Focus 27, which the Institute says Robert Monroe defined as the area beyond the limits of the Earth Life System. Lifeline brings participants to the Park and its reception center; the Institute says X27 takes you beyond them into four further areas it names the Education Center, the Planning Center, the Healing and Rejuvenation Center and the Coordination Center. The Institute presents the week as a guided journey to a place of unlimited creation, with access to information, creativity, healing and what it calls universal love energy.

The Institute's description also introduces I-There consciousness, Monroe's term for an energetic composite of all your personalities and experiences from other lifetimes, and says Focus 27 can serve as a springboard for visiting Focus 34 and 35, the region Monroe called the Gathering. Graduates describe both ends of that range. One participant felt so at home in Focus 27 that, told to return, they reacted with an adamant no way. Another met two personalities in Focus 35 so alien that they would have been terrifying outside the security of an Institute booth, and developed a mutual sense of trust with them over a couple of days. Institute researcher Skip Atwater studied the Healing and Regeneration Center in Focus 27 with 87 experienced participants. The publisher of the Gateway Experience says its album Union, A Journey Beyond Time and Space, is based on Exploration 27, so part of the territory can be approached at home. Everything reported from Focus 27 and beyond is first-person experience, and the researcher who studied it framed the open question himself: is it out there, or is it in here? Where X27 begins: past the Park
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
