1
00:00:06,260 --> 00:00:04,100
um like to begin by just noting that in

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:06,270
academic circles we all tend to have

3
00:00:11,930 --> 00:00:08,610
taglines we like to refer to ourselves

4
00:00:14,089 --> 00:00:11,940
as psychologists or mathematicians or

5
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:14,099
whatnot well I play that game too I

6
00:00:20,810 --> 00:00:19,289
refer to myself as a humanist and I used

7
00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:20,820
that I say that in order to make the

8
00:00:26,269 --> 00:00:24,150
point that I'm not a psychologist other

9
00:00:28,130 --> 00:00:26,279
than the fact that I kind of study the

10
00:00:31,759 --> 00:00:28,140
the larger context of the human

11
00:00:33,319 --> 00:00:31,769
condition if you will but as a humanist

12
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:33,329
I'm interested in the interior

13
00:00:40,430 --> 00:00:36,780
experience of the interplay of the human

14
00:00:43,250 --> 00:00:40,440
and the divine and I would say that in

15
00:00:46,819 --> 00:00:43,260
quoting one of the philosophers I

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:46,829
studied in my studies Pico della

17
00:00:54,020 --> 00:00:51,570
Mirandola 15th century Renaissance

18
00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:54,030
scholar he said that we exist in a

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:00:57,510
middle space being neither a heavenly

20
00:01:03,650 --> 00:01:00,930
being nor an earthly being and in this

21
00:01:05,810 --> 00:01:03,660
middle space he felt that human beings

22
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:05,820
can range between the level of the lower

23
00:01:10,580 --> 00:01:08,850
things or the higher things well I

24
00:01:14,060 --> 00:01:10,590
believe that we are a microcosm of that

25
00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:14,070
entire spectrum but we are gifted with a

26
00:01:19,060 --> 00:01:16,799
freedom that enables our movement our

27
00:01:22,219 --> 00:01:19,070
ability to change to grow and develop

28
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:22,229
and I became interested in the Manoa

29
00:01:28,130 --> 00:01:24,450
Institute because of its process for

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:28,140
exercising our freedom to explore the

31
00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:31,290
full range between the lower things and

32
00:01:36,050 --> 00:01:33,840
the higher things using the hemi-sync

33
00:01:39,710 --> 00:01:36,060
technology and many of you are familiar

34
00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:39,720
with Bob Monroe's work that Bob

35
00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:41,430
developed TMI programs off the

36
00:01:45,530 --> 00:01:42,780
opportunity to tune into different

37
00:01:48,830 --> 00:01:45,540
states of consciousness like tuning a

38
00:01:51,530 --> 00:01:48,840
radio into different stations right

39
00:01:54,499 --> 00:01:51,540
that's an effect that most everybody who

40
00:01:55,969 --> 00:01:54,509
goes to TM I have some experience of but

41
00:01:57,950 --> 00:01:55,979
what I was really interested in knowing

42
00:02:00,649 --> 00:01:57,960
and trying to understand it was the

43
00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:00,659
basis of the study was while their

44
00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:02,369
effect can be pretty dramatic I have

45
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:03,840
often wondered how participants have

46
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:06,329
integrated their experiences into their

47
00:02:12,230 --> 00:02:09,810
lives what difference has attendance at

48
00:02:14,270 --> 00:02:12,240
at TMI program

49
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:14,280
difference in terms of tuning in to

50
00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:17,490
different levels of consciousness made

51
00:02:21,020 --> 00:02:18,870
in the nature of their personal

52
00:02:23,540 --> 00:02:21,030
relationships their interests and

53
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:23,550
accomplishments their growth and

54
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:26,370
development if you will so this is what

55
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:29,370
the basis of the study that I've begun

56
00:02:34,370 --> 00:02:31,200
and this is only the beginning of this

57
00:02:36,980 --> 00:02:34,380
study there are several phases yet that

58
00:02:40,370 --> 00:02:36,990
I will be exploring but this initial

59
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:40,380
study started with two groups I looked

60
00:02:45,020 --> 00:02:42,750
at people who have attended just simply

61
00:02:46,490 --> 00:02:45,030
the Gateway Program which was the first

62
00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:46,500
program in the series and everyone's

63
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:48,060
required to go through before they can

64
00:02:53,930 --> 00:02:50,430
attend any advanced programs they were

65
00:02:55,820 --> 00:02:53,940
approximately 360 respondents in the

66
00:02:57,920 --> 00:02:55,830
Gateway group then I looked at another

67
00:02:59,780 --> 00:02:57,930
group called multiple program attendees

68
00:03:03,200 --> 00:02:59,790
people have attended three or more

69
00:03:05,390 --> 00:03:03,210
programs and as you'll see more than 75%

70
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:05,400
of this group attended actually four or

71
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:08,850
more programs all had attended at least

72
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:12,720
one program since 2000 all right but

73
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:14,130
some of the multiple program

74
00:03:19,610 --> 00:03:16,080
participants had gateways experiences

75
00:03:22,250 --> 00:03:19,620
being back into the 1970s I was an

76
00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:22,260
online questionnaire there was one

77
00:03:26,780 --> 00:03:24,000
section demographics psychographics

78
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:26,790
program affects about 61 questions and

79
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:28,290
then there was an optional section

80
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:31,650
looking at personality typology now let

81
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:33,570
me just simply kind of summarize some of

82
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:35,010
the independent variables came out of

83
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:37,770
this on the demographic differences some

84
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:40,260
of the key examples here is obviously

85
00:03:44,510 --> 00:03:42,090
for the multiple program group they're a

86
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:44,520
little bit older they've been going to

87
00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:47,010
TMI longer all right

88
00:03:50,060 --> 00:03:48,780
their education they have a higher

89
00:03:53,540 --> 00:03:50,070
percentage of people with advanced

90
00:03:56,420 --> 00:03:53,550
degrees all right they also have a

91
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:56,430
length of change in social status in the

92
00:03:59,690 --> 00:03:57,930
meaning that they've been widowed or

93
00:04:03,650 --> 00:03:59,700
diverse divorced those individuals have

94
00:04:06,350 --> 00:04:03,660
been widowed a divorce had been for a

95
00:04:09,949 --> 00:04:06,360
longer period of time they adjusted to

96
00:04:12,650 --> 00:04:09,959
that change and then income level was a

97
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:12,660
little higher so there are some of the

98
00:04:16,970 --> 00:04:15,290
you know independent variables between

99
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:16,980
demographically between the two groups

100
00:04:22,219 --> 00:04:20,400
on a psychographic level there were

101
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:22,229
really two key differences I asked

102
00:04:27,170 --> 00:04:24,210
people you know

103
00:04:30,350 --> 00:04:27,180
why did you choose to attend TM I gave

104
00:04:33,950 --> 00:04:30,360
him a list of ten different reasons you

105
00:04:35,540 --> 00:04:33,960
could select any or none and you could

106
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:35,550
select them as many times as you wanted

107
00:04:40,730 --> 00:04:38,130
to two dimensions came out between the

108
00:04:43,420 --> 00:04:40,740
two groups that was a statistically

109
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:43,430
significant difference one was curiosity

110
00:04:50,420 --> 00:04:48,330
the multiple programme attendees had a

111
00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:50,430
greater degree of curiosity and their

112
00:04:55,730 --> 00:04:52,889
reason for attending TMI and the second

113
00:04:58,070 --> 00:04:55,740
one was self knowledge that his are to

114
00:05:00,020 --> 00:04:58,080
understand themselves better these were

115
00:05:02,029 --> 00:05:00,030
two distinctions between the two groups

116
00:05:05,420 --> 00:05:02,039
and then in terms of personality

117
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:05,430
typology it's really interesting about

118
00:05:10,850 --> 00:05:08,130
the group is both of them have pretty

119
00:05:13,939 --> 00:05:10,860
much the same typology you know a little

120
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:13,949
bit beyond norm in terms of extraversion

121
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:16,610
that was a little unexpected on my part

122
00:05:22,719 --> 00:05:19,530
but they're dominant functions in is

123
00:05:25,159 --> 00:05:22,729
intuition and their auxiliary function

124
00:05:28,909 --> 00:05:25,169
primary auxiliary functions so for for

125
00:05:32,180 --> 00:05:28,919
most people it was akin the 40% top 40

126
00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:32,190
percentage basis for what I'd call this

127
00:05:37,339 --> 00:05:34,080
dominant function of intuition the

128
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:37,349
secondary function was feeling and then

129
00:05:42,740 --> 00:05:39,810
as an axillary function intuition was

130
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:42,750
still the highest so on the two dominant

131
00:05:47,089 --> 00:05:44,849
and auxiliary determinants of

132
00:05:49,939 --> 00:05:47,099
personality typology intuition is the

133
00:05:53,260 --> 00:05:49,949
highest descriptor of the personality

134
00:05:56,990 --> 00:05:53,270
technologies of the people going to TMI

135
00:06:00,560 --> 00:05:57,000
now let's just take a look at the

136
00:06:06,070 --> 00:06:00,570
findings and go kind jump to the bottom

137
00:06:10,450 --> 00:06:06,080
line I did a fact analysis around 34

138
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:10,460
program effect items came up with four

139
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:14,010
categories in which I loaded those items

140
00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:16,370
on personal efficacy life satisfaction

141
00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:20,190
job satisfaction career performance then

142
00:06:24,260 --> 00:06:22,710
we did a regression analysis looking at

143
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:24,270
controlling for these variables these

144
00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:25,849
differences in demographics

145
00:06:33,019 --> 00:06:30,240
psychographics and we came to a rather

146
00:06:35,540 --> 00:06:33,029
interesting conclusion here is that

147
00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:35,550
those people attending multiple programs

148
00:06:39,580 --> 00:06:37,560
actually had

149
00:06:42,260 --> 00:06:39,590
statistically significant higher

150
00:06:47,150 --> 00:06:42,270
personal efficacy and life satisfaction

151
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:47,160
and those who just attended gateway now

152
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:49,110
what's also interesting is the r-squared

153
00:06:54,590 --> 00:06:51,810
there I don't believe I have enough

154
00:06:59,870 --> 00:06:54,600
variables to account for TMI as having

155
00:07:02,870 --> 00:06:59,880
much to do with that alright but what I

156
00:07:07,220 --> 00:07:02,880
can say is that TMI acts like a strange

157
00:07:12,940 --> 00:07:07,230
attractor of a certain kind of

158
00:07:18,350 --> 00:07:12,950
individual who comes through there okay

159
00:07:20,690 --> 00:07:18,360
now I want to go a little too fast there

160
00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:20,700
I want to point out some of the

161
00:07:25,210 --> 00:07:22,800
questions in terms of program effects

162
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:25,220
and look at this correlation between

163
00:07:30,110 --> 00:07:27,690
gateway only respondents and multiple

164
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:30,120
program respondents I thirty four

165
00:07:33,050 --> 00:07:31,650
questions looking at questions like I

166
00:07:35,890 --> 00:07:33,060
have a more expansive vision of how the

167
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:35,900
parts of my life relate to a hold on

168
00:07:42,620 --> 00:07:39,290
every one of the thirty four questions

169
00:07:46,610 --> 00:07:42,630
multiple program attendees more strongly

170
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:46,620
agreed with that question than with then

171
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:48,450
the Gateway only and here are the ones

172
00:07:56,630 --> 00:07:55,610
tremendously you know a measure of

173
00:07:59,480 --> 00:07:56,640
difference here on some of these

174
00:08:02,659 --> 00:07:59,490
questions additional questions besides

175
00:08:06,529 --> 00:08:02,669
these this to give you a feel for this

176
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:06,539
I'm a more effective decision-maker I am

177
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:10,530
more composed under pressure I'm more

178
00:08:16,450 --> 00:08:12,450
able to listen non defensively to

179
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:16,460
criticism I'm more productive at work I

180
00:08:21,740 --> 00:08:19,530
have developed new friends so I'm

181
00:08:24,650 --> 00:08:21,750
looking at aspects that would point to

182
00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:24,660
this question of quality of life life

183
00:08:30,740 --> 00:08:27,360
satisfaction if you will and on every

184
00:08:33,380 --> 00:08:30,750
one of those questions the people

185
00:08:36,529 --> 00:08:33,390
attending multiple programs had a much

186
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:36,539
higher satisfaction or strongly agree

187
00:08:44,820 --> 00:08:43,709
that's one aspect of this study the

188
00:08:46,019 --> 00:08:44,830
other one which I find even more

189
00:08:49,079 --> 00:08:46,029
interesting is what I'd call the

190
00:08:52,079 --> 00:08:49,089
qualitative analysis because I asked a

191
00:08:53,610 --> 00:08:52,089
series of open-ended questions and one

192
00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:53,620
in particular was what's your most

193
00:09:01,699 --> 00:08:58,000
memorable experience and I got back a

194
00:09:05,819 --> 00:09:01,709
you know 200 pages of written comments

195
00:09:07,410 --> 00:09:05,829
single spaced and so I had to be go

196
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:07,420
through all that and began to try to

197
00:09:11,220 --> 00:09:09,130
organize it around some set of

198
00:09:13,650 --> 00:09:11,230
categories and here were four categories

199
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:13,660
in which I could pretty easily put most

200
00:09:18,449 --> 00:09:17,170
everybody's response all right I'm going

201
00:09:19,860 --> 00:09:18,459
to look a little bit here at this

202
00:09:24,660 --> 00:09:19,870
personal Learning and Development and

203
00:09:27,199 --> 00:09:24,670
share that with you now here's a sample

204
00:09:30,930 --> 00:09:27,209
of responses from the Gateway only group

205
00:09:32,610 --> 00:09:30,940
and I've highlighted a couple places

206
00:09:34,889 --> 00:09:32,620
here we'll pay attention to the language

207
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:34,899
because the language is key to kind of a

208
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:37,690
mental functioning the way people are

209
00:09:43,470 --> 00:09:39,970
structuring meaning from this experience

210
00:09:47,819 --> 00:09:43,480
so I'm accepting my limitations I'm

211
00:09:50,930 --> 00:09:47,829
forgiving myself I've cried with one's

212
00:09:53,550 --> 00:09:50,940
self of the young time together a

213
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:53,560
meeting having cried with one's self of

214
00:09:59,180 --> 00:09:55,930
a young time together learning to trust

215
00:10:04,110 --> 00:09:59,190
myself realizing how dumb I've been

216
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:04,120
discovering the clown chakra realizing

217
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:05,110
I'm still alive

218
00:10:12,030 --> 00:10:08,110
interesting interesting data here now

219
00:10:16,889 --> 00:10:12,040
let's compare that with the multiple

220
00:10:21,860 --> 00:10:16,899
program participants and you can really

221
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:24,990
characteristics in the language I'm very

222
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:26,529
different person much more whole than

223
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:29,050
before TMI help me heal when I was very

224
00:10:36,410 --> 00:10:32,770
bruised I'll always be grateful having

225
00:10:39,060 --> 00:10:36,420
confidence myself to dance with others

226
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:39,070
one part of our purpose here on earth or

227
00:10:43,380 --> 00:10:41,110
one way to look at it is to enable God

228
00:10:48,449 --> 00:10:43,390
to experience the physical in my case

229
00:10:50,490 --> 00:10:48,459
here and enjoy music realize that I

230
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:50,500
failed to follow my guidance if I was

231
00:10:54,430 --> 00:10:52,850
afraid of possible consequences

232
00:10:56,309 --> 00:10:54,440
learning to love and trust myself

233
00:10:59,259 --> 00:10:56,319
letting go shame

234
00:11:02,829 --> 00:10:59,269
now language here betrays a degree of

235
00:11:04,629 --> 00:11:02,839
integration of an understanding of how

236
00:11:06,970 --> 00:11:04,639
their life has changed and how they are

237
00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:06,980
living in accordance with that change

238
00:11:12,340 --> 00:11:09,649
that's one of the things that I'm taking

239
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:12,350
away from this to explain why they feel

240
00:11:18,340 --> 00:11:14,810
more life satisfaction and greater self

241
00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:18,350
efficacy right now obviously there's

242
00:11:22,180 --> 00:11:20,000
some things here that I still don't

243
00:11:25,930 --> 00:11:22,190
understand and one of the things that

244
00:11:27,579 --> 00:11:25,940
I'm proposing is that there are still

245
00:11:29,620 --> 00:11:27,589
questions around other variables

246
00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:29,630
contributing to this finding so there's

247
00:11:35,230 --> 00:11:32,660
a phase to this study yet to be done but

248
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:35,240
there's also a need to get other

249
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:38,569
people's perspective on these people so

250
00:11:43,449 --> 00:11:40,250
I'm proposing to use a multi rater

251
00:11:47,019 --> 00:11:43,459
instrument in a follow-up study with 34

252
00:11:48,610 --> 00:11:47,029
of these individuals now the final

253
00:11:50,259 --> 00:11:48,620
comment I take this from Richard

254
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:50,269
tarnishes work on the passion of the

255
00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:52,610
Western mind and I certainly saw that

256
00:11:58,509 --> 00:11:55,310
happening with both groups of people is

257
00:12:00,370 --> 00:11:58,519
the way in which we've focused on the

258
00:12:02,470 --> 00:12:00,380
world our intentions we bring the world

259
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:02,480
the world opens up and begins to ratify

260
00:12:08,439 --> 00:12:05,649
that experience for us so with that I

261
00:12:10,210 --> 00:12:08,449
kind of conclude my presentation open it

262
00:12:26,660 --> 00:12:10,220
up to any kind of questions as I've

263
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:31,290
um I'm Tennant I tend to be slightly

264
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:34,110
suspicious of self reportage in

265
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:36,880
psychological studies I don't mean to be

266
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:39,570
too cynical but isn't it possible that

267
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:42,310
some of this effect is simply due to

268
00:12:47,310 --> 00:12:45,760
self suggestion and self selection in

269
00:12:51,030 --> 00:12:47,320
other words people that go through

270
00:12:54,210 --> 00:12:51,040
multiple programs are one one example

271
00:12:59,550 --> 00:12:54,220
would mean that they would be tend to be

272
00:13:01,500 --> 00:12:59,560
motivated to to feel that they had to

273
00:13:06,660 --> 00:13:01,510
change in response to spending all that

274
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:06,670
money there wasn't it wasn't a waste and

275
00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:09,610
and to justify it to it even on a

276
00:13:13,290 --> 00:13:11,649
questionnaire but of course I assume

277
00:13:17,730 --> 00:13:13,300
these people were anonymous

278
00:13:19,260 --> 00:13:17,740
so so there was no ego issue there so

279
00:13:23,250 --> 00:13:19,270
anyway I think that there could be other

280
00:13:26,010 --> 00:13:23,260
from other factors that cause those

281
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:26,020
results sure and I don't disagree I

282
00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:27,730
really what's coming across here is an

283
00:13:34,050 --> 00:13:29,920
attitude I don't really know if they're

284
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:34,060
happier by but you certainly get from

285
00:13:39,269 --> 00:13:36,130
their responses a clear indication

286
00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:39,279
particularly when you do the analysis

287
00:13:45,150 --> 00:13:42,000
that they're statistically a difference

288
00:13:47,250 --> 00:13:45,160
now what explains that that's something

289
00:13:50,460 --> 00:13:47,260
I would like to get into a deeper

290
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:50,470
understanding now okay so I agree it

291
00:13:55,769 --> 00:13:54,490
could be other factors here yeah um my

292
00:13:57,420 --> 00:13:55,779
question was similar to his in terms of

293
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:57,430
a self selection of fact I guess the

294
00:14:00,780 --> 00:13:58,450
other question is is that do you have

295
00:14:02,970 --> 00:14:00,790
any pre data so do we we don't know how

296
00:14:04,199 --> 00:14:02,980
much gain may have occurred no we don't

297
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:04,209
have a baseline this is one of the

298
00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:06,250
things I've told the folks at TMI you

299
00:14:10,290 --> 00:14:08,110
need to start collecting data on tipos

300
00:14:12,210 --> 00:14:10,300
that come in in so you know something

301
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:12,220
about you know what you are trying to

302
00:14:17,389 --> 00:14:14,170
evaluate in terms of long term effect

303
00:14:19,829 --> 00:14:17,399
and they haven't begun to do that yet I

304
00:14:22,949 --> 00:14:19,839
know in the beginning that Monroe

305
00:14:24,660 --> 00:14:22,959
Institute had all these frequencies to

306
00:14:26,090 --> 00:14:24,670
help people get out of their bodies did

307
00:14:27,710 --> 00:14:26,100
you even ask

308
00:14:29,870 --> 00:14:27,720
fool about where they're getting out of

309
00:14:33,499 --> 00:14:29,880
their bodies morgue has the whole focus

310
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:33,509
of the Institute changed no what you

311
00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:35,130
didn't see up there was what I call the

312
00:14:39,259 --> 00:14:37,649
mystical experience and a number of and

313
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:39,269
what's really interesting here is you

314
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:40,170
would think that that would be the

315
00:14:46,999 --> 00:14:44,360
probably the number one area of

316
00:14:51,740 --> 00:14:47,009
memorable experience and actually it

317
00:14:53,030 --> 00:14:51,750
isn't and in fact among this group I

318
00:14:54,740 --> 00:14:53,040
don't think that there's more than a

319
00:14:57,740 --> 00:14:54,750
handful of people he even spoke of

320
00:15:00,620 --> 00:14:57,750
out-of-body experience but they spoke of

321
00:15:03,069 --> 00:15:00,630
a wide range of what I call meta normal

322
00:15:08,389 --> 00:15:03,079
functioning the experience of themselves

323
00:15:11,210 --> 00:15:08,399
under different influences experiencing

324
00:15:14,030 --> 00:15:11,220
themselves transported in time speaking

325
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:14,040
with their their their relatives outside

326
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:16,110
of time soul retrieval a number of

327
00:15:22,910 --> 00:15:19,110
various activities that are very much at

328
00:15:25,639 --> 00:15:22,920
the heart of what Monroe does but by and

329
00:15:27,050 --> 00:15:25,649
large the large majority was around

330
00:15:29,629 --> 00:15:27,060
personal learning and development and

331
00:15:31,970 --> 00:15:29,639
what I'm calling belongings their

332
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:31,980
relationship to others was more

333
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:34,130
memorable than some of those experiences

334
00:15:41,059 --> 00:15:38,250
so I found that interesting I had a

335
00:15:43,579 --> 00:15:41,069
question about the two populations did

336
00:15:46,009 --> 00:15:43,589
you control for the amount of meditation

337
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:46,019
in the two populations and that was one

338
00:15:52,129 --> 00:15:49,290
of the questions I didn't ask is like

339
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:52,139
what other work are you doing alright

340
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:53,250
and that's one of the things I'm going

341
00:16:02,360 --> 00:15:55,170
to go into in greater detail in the and

342
00:16:05,740 --> 00:16:02,370
then in the next phase of the study we

343
00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:08,020
just like to comment and ask a question

344
00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:10,310
my sense is that the particular

345
00:16:15,970 --> 00:16:13,040
technique of the induction that you're

346
00:16:17,950 --> 00:16:15,980
studying could be is interchangeable

347
00:16:20,650 --> 00:16:17,960
with you could make quite a list of

348
00:16:24,460 --> 00:16:20,660
other programs of self development and

349
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:24,470
personal change and you would find in in

350
00:16:30,970 --> 00:16:27,410
all these cases a moment of initiation

351
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:30,980
or kicking open the door or some kind of

352
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:33,710
blast off experience and then you would

353
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:35,510
find long periods of sustained

354
00:16:41,980 --> 00:16:38,510
development which are making exactly the

355
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:41,990
kind of mature integrated human beings

356
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:46,010
to come forth and and so what I really

357
00:16:52,690 --> 00:16:48,710
appreciate is is the the joining of this

358
00:16:56,860 --> 00:16:52,700
technology with spiritual traditions and

359
00:16:59,410 --> 00:16:56,870
many others and I the more data we have

360
00:17:00,910 --> 00:16:59,420
of each and every one of these the

361
00:17:03,700 --> 00:17:00,920
better and I really appreciate it thank

362
00:17:08,170 --> 00:17:03,710
you and and let me just simply add there

363
00:17:10,390 --> 00:17:08,180
was another reason for why skip

364
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:10,400
backwater wanted us to do this study was

365
00:17:14,949 --> 00:17:13,250
also to look at why not more people were

366
00:17:16,750 --> 00:17:14,959
coming back there would seem to be about

367
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:16,760
a 36 month period of time from the

368
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:19,730
initial finding out about Monroe until
