Threshold moves from Focus 10 into Focus 12, the state of expanded awareness, and gives you tools to use there. The exercises are Introduction to Focus 12, Problem Solving, One Month Patterning, Color Breathing, Energy Bar Tool and Living Body Map. The unguided Free Flow 12, which group programs in the Journal pair with Threshold tapes, is listed by the publisher on Adventure, not Threshold. The 1983 Army assessment of the Gateway process describes the same techniques as tools used in Focus 12, along with remote viewing, which the publisher lists on the Freedom album. Patterning has its own page on this site. Wave III, Freedom: perceiving and moving energy According to the publisher, Freedom uses Focus 10 and Focus 12 exercises to teach you to perceive and control your nonphysical energy. The exercises are Lift Off, Remote Viewing, Vectors, Five Questions, Energy Food and First Stage Separation. Monroe described Lift Off plainly in a Gateway Voyage talk: it was not designed to get you out of your body but to give you the feel of the vibrational state he first met in 1958. A 1998 Hemi-Sync Journal guide to tapes by theme lists Five Questions, with Adventure's Five Messages, for readers asking who they are and why they are here. Wave IV, Adventure: directed exploration
SOURCE CONTEXT
The Gateway waves
The selected passage is highlighted. Adjacent passages preserve the surrounding source text.
The publisher presents Adventure as the ultimate expression beyond Freedom, an adventure you control and direct yourself. The exercises are One Year Patterning, 5 Messages, Free Flow 12, NVC I, NVC II and Compoint 12. The publisher spells out NVC as non-verbal communication and describes Compoint 12 as setting up a reference point for communicating with higher consciousness. A Gateway Voyage participant who wrote about the five messages exercise described apprehension before inviting messages from Guidance or the Higher Self. Wave V, Exploring: Focus 15 and intuition Exploring moves from Focus 12 into Focus 15, which the publisher describes as a no-time state and a way to reach the source of your intuition. The exercises are Advanced Focus 12, Discovering Intuition, Exploring Intuition, Intro to Focus 15, Mission 15 Creation and Manifestation and Exploring Focus 15. Focus 15 has long had a reputation for being hard to reach: the 1983 Army assessment estimated that probably fewer than five percent of participants fully achieved it during about seven days of training. Wave VI, Odyssey: Focus 21
Odyssey is the first album set in Focus 21, which the publisher calls the bridge to other energy systems. It invites you to embark on an odyssey of self-discovery, with high-adventure exercises in dimensions beyond physical time-space reality. They are Sensing, Expansion, Point of Departure, Nonphysical Friends, Intro to Focus 21 and Free Flow Journey in Focus 21. Free-flow exercises, here and in earlier waves, give you unguided time in the state to explore on your own. Wave VII, Voyager: Focus 21 to 27 and service Voyager is based on the Institute's residential Lifeline program. The publisher describes it as teaching service to self and others: you travel to Focus 21 and on through Focus 23 to 27, where you can contact people who have died but remain static, in the publisher's word, and guide them to a reception center. The exercises are Explore Total Self, Intro to Focus 23, Intro to Focus 25, Intro to Focus 27, Retrieval and Messages From Beyond. A practitioner writing in the Hemi-Sync Journal in 2002 paired exercises labeled Wave VII with Lifeline in personal work in Focus 21 and 27. Wave VIII, Union: Focus 27 and beyond
