Robert Allan Monroe (October 30, 1915March 17, 1995) was an advertising executive from Virginia who became known for his research into altered consciousness. His 1971 book Journeys Out of the Body is credited with popularizing the term “out-of-body experience”. In 1978 Monroe founded The Monroe Institute, which carried on his work after his death.
He is also notable as one of the founders of the Jefferson Cable Corporation, the first cable company to cover central Virginia.
According to his own account, while experimenting with sleep-learning in 1958 Monroe experienced an unusual phenomenon, which he described as sensations of paralysis and vibration accompanied by a bright light that appeared to be shining on him from a shallow angle. Monroe goes on to say that this occurred another nine times over the next six weeks, culminating in his first out-of-body experience. Monroe recorded his account in his 1971 book Journeys Out Of The Body and went on to become a prominent researcher in the field of human consciousness.
Monroe later authored two more books, Far Journeys (1985) and Ultimate Journey (1994).
In 1978 he founded The Monroe Institute, a non-profit education and research foundation describing itself as being “devoted to the exploration of human consciousness”.
In his last book Ultimate Journey there is a chapter “About the Author”. In this chapter it is said that Robert Monroe is directing Monroe Institute – from There, meaning that he is able to take part in his Institute life from his post-death state.
In 1975, Monroe registered a patent for an audio-visual device designed to stimulate brain functions until the left and right hemispheres became synchronized. Monroe held that this state, dubbed Hemi-Sync (hemispherical synchronization), could be used to promote mental well being or to trigger an altered state of consciousness. Monroe’s concept was based on an earlier hypothesis known as binaural beats and has since been expanded on a commercial basis by the self help industry.
During the “Project Stargate” studies period into what is now called Remote Viewing, Robert Monroe’s interests and research in Out of Body Experience (OOBE) extended into the accepted scientific scope of Remote Viewing. His personal friendship and association with U. S. Army officer, Joseph McMoneagle from Ft. Meade, expanded remote viewing into the remote past and future. McMoneagle would later date and marry Monroe’s stepdaughter, Nancy Honeycutt, and become associated with research and study at The Monroe Institute. U.S. Media consultant and White House speech writer, Donald A. Stewart, who was also a personal friend and a former student in media, were influenced and inspired by Monroe, with their mutual interests into parapsychology and psychical research. He later met pioneer remote viewer, psychical-consultant, A. Edward Moch, who dated and married his daughter.

A higher spiritual awareness of the biology of the brain & mind can significantly advance one towards Enlightenment and Zen. The science of biology says that the brain's thoughts are just the result of cells doing work, and teachings on spirituality talk about having a silent mind of Zen. Biology + Buddhism = Enlightenment.

You don’t exist.
From the works of Living Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this clip, Swamiji tells us Shiva in this sutra is giving us a technique to explode into our inner space. The reason for all problems is we are not living in our center. This clip is taken from Shiva Sutras discourse titled, Love the way to your being. We sometimes have glimpses of our center, our very core, but we run away from this center. We contantly move away from our center to the periphery. Infact we do not even stay at the periphery, we tend to stay somewhere in between our center and periphery. When you are at your center we are Shiva or Buddha or Krishna. When we are at our periphery, we are mad. By lingering in the intermediate zone, you are neither in Shiva consciousness nor you are mad you become what is called the Human consciousness in this intermediate zone. In this sutra Shiva tells s that just by entering into a relationship you can move to your center, to the zone of Shiva consciousness. The discourse may be ordered online at www.lifeblissgalleria.org.
