We do not provide a new belief system at the Gateway Voyage. Individuals from all walks of life, professions, and a wide variety of religious backgrounds have attended without encountering conflict regarding their beliefs. The only philosophical point we ask you to consider as a serious possibility is that you are more than your physical body. However, there may be times when you are asked to look at different overviews. It will be your choice to evaluate and accept, reject, or remain undecided as to the validity of those perspectives.
The out-of-body state and tools that may be used to achieve this particular state of consciousness are covered in the Gateway Voyage, but that is only a small part of the program's overall scope of self-awareness and self- empowerment. Please note that we cannot guarantee a conscious out-of-body experience during, or subsequent to, a Gateway Voyage Program -- but we do offer tools that can help you toward that end.
The Gateway Voyage program consists of progressive, audio-guidance exercises using the renowned and trademarked Hemi-Sync(R) process, application sessions, group discussions, and informal lectures, as well as free time for socialization and interaction with other participants.
During the program you will experience the following discrete states of consciousness: Focus 10 (mind awake, body asleep), Focus 12 (expanded awareness), Focus 15 (no time), and Focus 21 (other energy systems). Within these states tools are presented that can be used for a variety of goals such as: relaxation, recognition and control of personal energy, problemsolving, the out-of-body state, greater self-awareness, emotional cleansing, and programming your future.
We believe that coming to the Gateway Voyage with an open mind, a willingness to learn about yourself, and as few expectations as possible will greatly enhance your experience. The Program does not use a pass-fail, right-wrong learning model. We encourage the exploration of consciousness from a personal, individualistic standpoint that allows you to determine your ends and your means.
