The “Gateway Project,” more formally known as the Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process, was the subject of a declassified 1983 CIA document.

The report, produced by US Army Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M. McDonnell, examines the Gateway Experience, a training system developed by the Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences (MIAS).

Key aspects of the Gateway Process described in the CIA document:

• Goal: To achieve an altered state of human consciousness that could potentially transcend space and time.

• Methodology: The system uses “Hemi-Sync” (Hemispheric Synchronization), which involves listening to specific sound patterns (binaural beats or “Gateway Tapes”) through stereo headphones to synchronize the brain’s left and right hemispheres.

• Theoretical Basis: The report draws on concepts from quantum physics, stating that the universe is a complex system of interacting energy fields, and human consciousness is a vibrational energy pattern. Achieving Hemi-Sync is posited to free consciousness from physical reality.

• Applications: The training was intended to develop and explore human consciousness, potentially leading to abilities like out-of-body experiences (OOBEs) and enhanced mental concentration. The document mentions training for “CENTER LANE” personnel, a project associated with intelligence gathering.

The document itself was classified from 1983 until its declassification in 2003.
