A ‘workbook’ produced by a secret US Army program claimed to have broken the rules for reducing pain symptoms by repeating five numbers.
Written by Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences In 1977, this ‘Gateway Intermediate Workbook’ was the only training manual provided by a secret team to the US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) on secret intelligence.
On page 14 of the 21-page document, which was declassified by the CIA in 2003, it includes a section on ‘everyday tools’ to reduce pain symptoms, remember life events and ‘charge the body for greater speed and power.’
Although many people try to reduce the pain with drugs, the report says that it can be done in minutes using only your imagination.
‘To reduce pain symptoms,’ a confidential training document advised, ‘focus with your eyes closed on the side of your body that is the source of the pain symptoms.’
‘When you look, repeat in your mind the number 55515.
‘If you do these two things, the painful symptoms will gradually decrease until they are no longer necessary.’
The meditation courses were part of a series of top secret programs sponsored by the CIA from about 1972 to 1995, which investigated ways to increase the intelligence and human capabilities of spies and special ops groups.

Written by the Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences in 1977, the book ‘Gateway’ was the only aid that the secret society gave to the US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) to create a magical spy. Above, a picture from the workbook

The document says that if you close your eyes, look at where your pain is and repeat the number five, the pain will leave your body.
Most of these products, with names like ‘Star Gate’ and ‘Grill Flame,’ are very focused psychic espionage or ‘remote viewing’ of distant regions interested in time and space.
But others had tangible, physical goals, like this book.
‘You are learning greater ways to develop and control your personality by using your whole being,’ the document reads. ‘You’ll be able to use it whenever you want.’
The book also described a way to ‘charge the body for high speed and power,’ leading the US Army INSCOM staff to ‘close your eyes, take a deep breath, think about the body that needs to be treated with red-hot energy.’
It can be as simple as that, according to the Monroe Institute: ‘When you exhale, open your eyes and do what you want to do.’
Another ‘everyday tool’ claims to help people remember what’s been lost.
‘To remember any part of your life, close your eyes and gently touch the fingers of your right hand to the center of your forehead,’ reads the document.
‘When you do this, you remember and remember quickly what you want.’
Today, the Monroe Institute’s little-known approach to pain management is still focusing on meditation — now with the help of a recording they call. Hemi-Sync (abbreviation for Hemispheric Synchronization) which makes sounds more frequent.
Hemi-Sync’s ‘audio-guidance technology’ promotes communication between the left and right sides of the brain, the organization says, enhancing awareness.

Citing a work published by the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2016, now he is in charge that ‘meditation can teach you to live with your problems which, in the end, will teach your brain to overcome the painful messages and give you relief.’
Six years after the 1977 ‘Gateway Intermediate Workbook’ was written, the US Army INSCOM issued a report on the Monroe Institute’s Gateway approach.
US Army Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M McDonnell, author of this A fascinating study of the 1983 Pentagonhe promoted the secret process at the time as ‘a teaching method designed to bring increased energy, focus and coordination…to transform knowledge.’
“There is a clear and reasonable basis in terms of the physical sciences to consider the Gateway to be reasonable in terms of its important objectives,” he said.
Joe McMoneagle – Vietnam veteran who served as Remote Viewer No1. in one of INSCOM’s espionage programs – now he is on the Board of Advisors and works as a ‘Gateway’ teacher Monroe Institute today.

An interesting Pentagon study was commissioned to understand what the law enforcement officers are doing by sending employees to a small school in Charlottesville, Virginia – The Monroe Institute – to learn about the ‘Gateway Experience’ group.
But, at times, according to McMoneagle, Gateway’s well-known methods at the Monroe Institute have given former spies both pain and relief.
In one less disturbing moment, Remote Viewer No.1 is tasked with observing a ‘UFO target’ with his mind’s eye, only to encounter a magical and hostile ‘group’.
“I felt something reach inside me and jolt the nerves that made me sick right away,” McMoneagle said. 2021 interview.
“I felt like I was going to throw up and I found myself convulsing in my body when I was sitting so hard that I hit my head with my monitor,” he said.
Looking back on the incident, which left him and his partner both ‘holding our heads in pain,’ McMoneagle said his experience with the Gateway project has left him and his view of the world’s environment completely changed.
‘You have to start wondering where reality begins and ends when you’re involved in this kind of thing,’ he said.
‘For me this experience was real but I can only say.’
