Of course, the skeptical view holds that the Gateway Tapes are a sophisticated placebo combined with autosuggestion. OBEs, in this model, are merely vivid dreams or dissociative states triggered by the expectation of leaving the body. The “vibrational state” preceding an OBE is simply a hypnagogic hallucination of proprioceptive disorientation.
The "Gateway Experience" is a specific 7-level curriculum (originally 34 tapes, now digitized into waves). Each tape builds upon the last. Here is how they work to facilitate non-physical exploration. hemi sync gateway tapes work
While individual results range from "nice nap" to "astral projection," common feedback includes: Vibrational State: Of course, the skeptical view holds that the
The most sophisticated resolution is the one: The Tapes generate a specific, measurable brain state (Hemi-Sync). This state, by altering thalamocortical gating and interhemispheric coherence, facilitates the perception of phenomena (OBEs, expanded awareness) that are normally filtered out. Whether these phenomena are “real” in a physicalist sense (i.e., a non-local consciousness leaving the skull) or “real” in a psychological sense (i.e., a profoundly vivid hallucination generated by the brain’s own model of space and self) is a question the Tapes cannot answer. What they can do is provide the tool to explore that question firsthand. The "Gateway Experience" is a specific 7-level curriculum
