.Your second body can perceive another's second body.On the technical side.Q: There's noise on my tapes.They all have a hissing sound which I can only partially filter out with the Dolby switch an my stereo.Are my tapes defective?A: No.The hissing or „tape noise” sound is intentional.It's known as „pink sound” and provides a bed for the Hemi-Sync signals.Pink sound contains all the tones the human ear can perceive.The higher and lower portions of the sound have been compensated for in volume so you hear the entire sound equally-it helps the mind create or select sound to complete the Hemi-Sync process.DO NOT use Dolby or other noise-reduction systems as they interfere with the Institute's sophisticated Hemi-Sync mastering process.Q: There's no indication of right or left ear on any of the later tapes.It is still important to have the headphones on correctly?A: No.On the earlier tapes, we make a distinction because of the design of those tapes.However, the techniques and sound combinations on the latter tapes are more sophisticated, and do not require any right-ear/left-ear adjustment.Q: Is the „clicking” sound on some of my tapes normal?A: No.If you are hearing disconcerting clicking or popping sounds on a tape (versus the „tape hiss” or „tooth brushing” of the pink sound), it may be defective.First, be sure the clicking is on the tape and not coming from your tape player.If you have a defective tape, return it to us for replacement.As soon as we receive it, we will send you a replacement at no charge.Q: I find the recording level on the tapes is high and the VU needle on our cassette deck often kicks into the red area.Is this okay?A: Most recorded material will peak in the red area.This will occur more frequently with some cassette deck players than with others.As long as there is no distortion of the sound, it presents no problem.However, we do suggest that the Hemi-Sync exercises be listened to at a low level.It is better to have the volume too low than too high.Q: What is the difference between hypnosis and Hemi-Sync?A: The term „hypnosis” is open to many interpretations.People often regard hypnosis as a process of being led into a state of high suggestibility and relinquishing control to the hypnotist.On the other hand, Hemi-Sync is designed to allow the individual to consciously control and manipulate his/her own states of awareness.With self-, or auto-, hypnosis the individual relaxes him/ herself, moves to a desired state of awareness, and consciously directs the exercise.Although similar in this regard, Hemi-Sync, with its special frequencies, assists the listener in achieving the desired state of consciousness much more quickly.(For more information on Hemi-Sync, please refer to Brain Power on page 8.)Q: Are Hemi-Sync tapes subliminal?A: No.„Subliminal” implies that a specific verbal message (in the case of audio cassette tapes) is recorded below audible level and often at high speed.The intention is to imbed a particular thought in the mind of the listener.By comparison, Hemi-Sync signals, although recorded at a subaudible level, are not verbal messages and are not recorded at high speed.The intention of the Hemi-Sync signals is to assist the listener into a state of awareness conducive to the development of a self-directed experience.Several Hemi-Sync tapes contain sleep periods during which verbal guidance is recorded at a very low level so as not to awaken the listener.The script during these periods is a repetition of the information heard previously on the tape.Institute programs.Q: What are the differences in the Gateway Experience, the Gateway Voyage, and Guidelines?A: The Gateway Experience is the home-study course based on the week-long Gateway Voyage.It is also used by those who have taken the Voyage and would like a refresher and/or reinforcement of the techniques learned - as well as for continued exploration.Many of the Gateway Experience and Gateway Voyage tapes are the same.Both programs assist you in a wide exploration of consciousness.However, Gateway Experience tapes implement Focus 10 and 12, while participants in the Gateway Voyage also experience Focus 15 (No Time, No Space) and Focus 21 (Other Energy Systems) as well.Guidelines, a six-day Gateway graduate program is open only to those who have completed a Gateway Voyage.Guidelines utilizes all Focus levels, with a concentration of Focus 15 and Focus 21.At Guidelines, the emphasis is on learning more about guidance - in whatever manner guidance manifests to you personally.Q: When will Focus 15 tapes be made available?A: (For those of you who have not experienced the weeklong Gateway Voyage, Focus 15 and Focus 21 tapes, which open areas of „no time” and beyond, are a highlight of the program.)At this time there are not even rumors that Focus 15 tapes might be made available outside the Institute.Those of you who have experienced them are undoubtedly aware of their potency, and remember the carefully controlled environment in which you listened to them here at the Institute or other training facility.We remind you also that once having used those tapes, the information and signals are in your mind; you can return to that level at any time you like, simply by remembering what Focus 15 or Focus 21 felt like.Equally important is to continue practicing the techniques you have learned.Just as people's experiences with Focus 12 vary greatly, so does the experience of Focus 15.The intent and desire to go beyond Focus 12, to continue to expand and experience is what is needed more than a specific tape.Q: What is the Personal Resource Exploration Program?A: The Personal Resource Exploration Program (PREP) provides individual sessions for self-exploration utilizing the Institute's research laboratory isolation booth.These sessions, like the Explorer Program sessions, are facilitated by trained monitors and technicians.The combination of Hemi-Sync, the sensory-deprivation booth, biomonitoring equipment, and trained monitors guiding the exploratory process, all converge to produce a personal growth tool, par excellence.For more information, call or write the Institute.Q: I'm going to be in Virginia on my vacation and would like to stop by and see the Institute and find out what's happening there.Where is Faber, Virginia?A: The Institute is located in Nelson County, Virginia, about thirty miles south of Charlottesville.While we are always happy to meet our many friends of the Gateway Experience, there is not a lot for you to see here because of the nature of our work.Our administrative building is simply a very busy office as we process your orders, correspondence, and course registrations.Just up the road, the Residential Center, Laboratory, and Conference Center are restricted areas while programs are in progress.(As I am sure you can understand by this time, silence is important.) One of the reasons for locating the Institute in this area is the fact that it is off the beaten track and therefore conducive to quiet and working with sensitive equipment.After considering the above, if you would like to drop by for a visit, please phone ahead so we can schedule you an appointment with a staff member.Even better, instead of a visit to a rather typical office this year, why not plan to spend your next vacation here at a Gateway Voyage, Guidelines, or Human-Plus program? That's the way to find out what's happening here!CONGRATULATIONSYou have completed the Gateway Experience, although „completed” is not really the appropriate word
