A few useful starting points

Practice

Affirmation

Also: Gateway affirmation · more than my physical body

A statement of purpose or orientation used in Monroe-related practice.

Usage: Journal discussion of practice

Context & sources

The 2000 journal identifies the idea of being more than one’s physical body as a basic affirmation shared across the practices it compares. An affirmation expresses a participant’s starting intention; it is not evidence that the statement has been demonstrated.

Practice

Clicking out

Also: click out · click-out · memory gap

In exercise reports, a period the participant cannot consciously remember afterward.

Usage: Two distinct uses in the journal and Gateway report

Context & sources

The 1990 journal discusses this as a memory gap and offers state-dependent memory as an explanation. The 1983 Gateway report also uses “clicking out” for a speculative account of moving beyond time and space. These are different uses; a gap in recall alone does not establish either explanation.

Color breathing

Also: colour breathing

A Gateway visualization that associates vivid colors with intended changes in energy or bodily experience.

Usage: Technique described in the 1983 Gateway report

Context & sources

The 1983 report places it in Focus 12 work and makes claims about balancing and healing. The definition describes the exercise’s imagery and purpose without treating those proposed effects as demonstrated.

Encoding / verbal cue

Also: encoding · verbal cue · state recall

Learning a cue intended to recall a previously practiced state or function.

Usage: Human Plus research report

Context & sources

Energy Bar Tool

Also: EBT · energy bar

An imagined, concentrated bar of light or energy used as a visualization tool in Gateway exercises.

Function command

Also: H-PLUS command · PLUS-FOCUS

A named cue associated with a particular Human Plus exercise.

Usage: Archived Human Plus exercise booklet

Context & sources

The archived booklet pairs each exercise with a command and intended application. For example, its attention exercise uses PLUS-FOCUS. These are descriptions of the training system, not evidence that every listed application is effective.

Practice

Ident

Also: identification cue · mental address

A recognition cue used in Explorer sessions to return attention to a particular contact, place or experience.

Usage: Explorer session dialogue

Context & sources

A monitor asks the Explorer to obtain an ident for a return visit. It can be a remembered quality or description. The cue helps the participant recognize an experience; it does not verify the identity of a purported contact.

Also: LBM · body map

A visualization of the body and its major systems, often represented with different colors.

Usage: Technique described in the 1983 Gateway report

Problem solving

Also: problem-solving · intuitive answers

A Gateway exercise in which a participant holds a question in expanded awareness and attends to possible answers or insights.

Usage: Technique described in the 1983 Gateway report

Context & sources

The 1983 report describes both immediate impressions and ideas arising later. It explains them through its higher-self and hologram framework. Any practical answer still needs to be assessed on its own merits.
