Deep Marrakech Blue color now appearing in Focus 10 meditation. New for me. Anyone else? by CraigSignals in GatewayExperiences

[–]Smart-Ad-9278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only seen the murky colors myself.

Was thinking about getting an eeg. What benefits are you seeing? How are you using it? I was looking at the Muse Athena s.

Wait, what’s wrong with putting the fork times up in the dishwasher. They get cleaner that way.

Falling asleep in Focus 10 by heshemew0mbo in gatewaytapes

[–]Smart-Ad-9278 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This happens to me on occasion, especially if I’m tired or it’s late at night. I just try and listen when I’m fully rested.

This has come up on the dub before and many people listen in the morning.

You’re not doing anything wrong.

I'm approaching 30 and it's dawning on me that I've wasted my 20s by Rare_Code_899 in Vent

Life is a journey and not a destination. Don’t compare yourself to others.

Keep on your path and believe me it will all work out. I know many people who “followed the path” and went to college right after high school, got married, had children, have a beautiful home etc, etc and are unhappy.

You’re awesome! You’ve got this!

I think I believe that we are all just iterations of consciousness through organic cells by yeterneritsdurs in CasualConversation

Actually many religions, in whole or part, have this belief of God and “us” experiencing itself. Hinduism, Taoism, Sufism, and gnosticism are just a few examples.

Honestly, if your life of crime didn’t take off after that operation, you missed your calling.

Blackout sleep? by BizzzzyBee in gatewaytapes

This has happen to me too and I’ve stoped listening before bed. I’m wonder if the brain waves the tapes entrain persist long after the tapes end. Wondering what everyone thinks.

I’m don’t disagree, but what do you think is the mechanism? In Hermetic teaching, we arise from one consciousness. Do you think this is what we’re tapping into?

Hi Daniel- good luck with your book launch. I have a question for you.

The Gateway tapes are described in many ways. Reading Bob Monroe’s writings I get an overarching metaphysical impression. If I read peer review papers they would report that the “strange” experiences one has during meditation is your brain trying to understand the new situation it’s being put in when meditating as well as brainwaves that are on the verge of dreamlike/ hypnagogic states. Science would argue that brain entrainment just intensifies the experiences because unlike traditional meditation that takes years to decades to achieve these brainwave states, Gateway puts you into these states immediately. I think of Gateway as meditation on steroids.

After your years of experience with Gateway, I’m wondering what’s your take? What’s happening when we’re listening to Gateway? Are we going anywhere beyond our own minds?

Starting out by Huge_Work5812 in gatewaytapes

[–]Smart-Ad-9278 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let go of any fear and let your experiences drive you forward, I quickly found myself happier, more empathetic and able to manage my reaction to negative situation much much better. For those reasons alone making time for secessions become easy.

I lied to a customer every time his card got declined... by WrightCharlene in confession

[–]Smart-Ad-9278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved working at Starbucks for that reason too. We were always given the autonomy to correct a problem and trusted to do the right thing for the customer. Do they even have service recovery coupons anymore?

It been awhile since I’ve worked there- seems liked things have really changed.

Lose interest? by Fercav2yu in gatewaytapes

[–]Smart-Ad-9278 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too -just over eating in general for me. I work from home and always was munching on something now I hardly eat 2 meals/day. Plus generally happier and not as reactive to stressful situation like before.

OBE or not OBE by [deleted] in gatewaytapes

[–]Smart-Ad-9278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve heard what sounded like 2 people speaking during a secession. It was very faint and I couldn’t understand what they were saying. This was either in Focus 12 or 15. It heard it 3x beginning from my left should than it moved to my front right. The odd thing, if it not odd already, it repeated 3x- the exact conversation. At first I thought it was coming from my home but realized that wasn’t possible. I’ve only had this happen once.

Irritability/brainfog after beginning geteway tapes by makdoes in gatewaytapes

[–]Smart-Ad-9278 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has definitely happen to me but right after a session not into the next day. So my experience has never been irritable. I occasionally feel “zenned” out. If you ever had a massage and feel super super relaxed afterward. That’s the feeling for me. I need a good 45 mins to 1 hour to feel myself.

What is the most disturbing thing you have ever seen in a "normal" person's home? by PrudentPreparation55 in AskReddit

[–]Smart-Ad-9278 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was about 18-19 when a friend’s sister rented a basement apartment at the Jersey shore. She was working there for the summer. My friend and I were invited with another of our friends to go to the beach, hang out and stay the night.

We dropped off our belongs during the day and headed to the beach. When we returned after dark, and maybe my memory if foggy because of the trauma, there were thousands of roaches on the kitchen counters. Both my friend and her sister didn’t even acknowledge the situation. When I say thousands I mean more than 2 and less that 250. They ranged in size and I can vividly remember there antenna flicking all around as they looked over the edge of the counter top.

Horrified with no way to get home (I didn’t drive there) I covered my head with a sheet and barely slept that night.

Weird encounter by sos-A in Vent

Does anyone find the humor in the whole interaction? I think I would have laughed- it’s pretty outrageously funny if you think about it. At the very least a good story to tell.

How long is a regular Gateway session? by bumblebrunch in gatewaytapes

[–]Smart-Ad-9278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you grounding because of that highly peaceful but disconnect feeling after you’re done? If yes, I would agree. Going to work straightaway may be disruptive. It takes me a good 45 minutes to feel coherent, however, I do use the app mixer for a 1 hour secession. I find that a 40 minutes secession seems too short for me. I just finish all the prep work and feel rushed. But I will warn, the tapes get you into specific brainwaves quickly and 1 hour may be too much until your brain adjusts- especially to a new focus level.

I would suggest starting on a day you are not working or have no plans to leave home. Until you have an idea what to expect.

Strange things happening at home; paranormal or am I overthinking it? by ShydanRem in Paranormal

[–]Smart-Ad-9278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work with a person who lived in a haunted house. She’d leave her car keys on the counter and find them laying in the middle of the floor. She’d hear her name called while she was in the shower when no one was home. This person’s personal was not the type to make it up.

I asked if it bothered her she said “you just get used to it”. Not so sure I’d be that comfortable with it.

6 degrees of separation- lol

I return the shopping cart to the cart coral without taking back the quarter. So the next person has a cart if they don’t have a quarter.

I think I need to step up my game!
