The Monroe Institute (TMI) is a nonprofit education and research organization devoted to the exploration of human consciousness, based in Faber, Virginia, United States.〔(The Monroe Institute )〕 Upwards of 20,000 people are estimated to have attended TMI’s residential Gateway program during its first thirty years,〔R. Russell, Journey of Robert Monroe: From Out of Body Explorer to Consciousness Pioneer, Deep Books, July 2007, p105. ISBN 978-1-57174-533-0〕 with consumers of the audio industry founded on its research running into millions.〔R.C. Filimon, (Beneficial Subliminal Music: Binaural Beats, Hemi-Sync and Metamusic ), Proceedings of the 11th WSEAS international conference on Acoustics & music: theory & applications, 2010, p106〕 Currently, many tens of thousands of people have experienced the residential programs developed by the Monroe Institute at TMI's campus in Virginia as well as across the US and the world, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Cyprus, England, France, Germany, Japan, Romania, and Spain. TMI claims a policy of no dogma or bias with respect to belief system, religion, political or social stance. TMI was founded by Robert Monroe after he started having what he called "out of body experiences", now also commonly referred to as OBEs. It comprises several buildings on of land south of Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. One of its activities includes teaching various techniques, based on audio-guidance processes, in order to expand consciousness and explore areas of consciousness not normally available in the waking state. In 1978, the U.S. military evaluated TMI and arranged to send officers there for OBE training.〔(Gondola Wish Assessment Report ), 902d Military Intelligence Group, 25 Aug 1978.〕 In 1983, it sent additional officers.〔Remote Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Jim Schnabel, 1997, p292-3. ISBN 978-0-440-61405-0〕〔(INSCOM log for Aug 1983 to Jan 1984 )〕 ==Gateway Voyage== The Institute runs a program called Gateway Voyage, a training course that uses binaural soundtracks to facilitate exploration and replication of specific altered states of consciousness known as focus levels. Gateway Voyage is a six-day intensive of exercises using custom-designed sound booths (CHEC units), talks, and group interaction. Participants occupy the CHEC (Controlled Holistic Environmental Chamber) which is a booth that occupies part of a wall of the sleeping quarters. The booths are designed to be as comfortable and quiet as possible to minimize external effects on the participant's senses, whilst he or she wears headphones through which instructions and audio-guidance signals are sent. The Monroe Institute also has an Outreach program, where accredited facilitators travel to various locations around the world and deliver workshops. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Monroe Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
