Description

GOING HOME This set of learning exercises on audio cassettes offers a means whereby the individual can reduce dramatically the common fear of physical death. The result can be, at the least, greater tolerance of the situation. At most, the GOING HOME Subject may learn to control calmly the sequence of this critical event, allowing it to be one of peace and dignity. The GOING HOME system also helps family and friends understand better and accept the reality of the death process so as to provide badly needed specific support at critical moments for the departing Subject. It also includes methods that can be employed to help them consistently adjust to and recover from the loss of their loved one. GOING HOME makes the following identifications: one who is in the last and irreversible stages of a terminal illness or injuries is called the Subject. Those who are in close loving and family contact with the Subject plus care-givers are called the Support Group.

BASICS GOING HOME has been designed to support the deep spiritual principles underlying major religions without favoring any particular one. Thus any religious group or organization can utilize GOING HOME, and apply their teachings to it such as they may find appropriate. Still, the Subject does not have to believe in any specific religion to participate in the GOING HOME process. GENERAL DESCRIPTION – First and foremost, the Subject learns how much more the human is than simply a physical body. This is achieved through direct personal experience rather than merely statements or descriptions. – The experience of guided tours through states of consciousness beyond time-space is a method of exposing the user to options available after departure from physical life, specifically including audio patterns symbolic of major religions that offer continued existence after physical death. – A quiet effort is made to present the entire program as simply a system of remembering. This is based upon the belief that all humans have deep knowledge of our origins and destination, even if they have been clouded by the now passing concerns and hurry of ordinary physical life. Thus much of the experience can become familiar territory, again removing fears created by uncertainties. Therefore, GOING HOME is phrased in terms of helping the Subject gradually remember this deep knowledge whatever it may be. – Full use is made of the methods that have been in successful application at the Monroe Institute for the past 17 years. These have been enhanced greatly through participation and support by Elisabeth KublerRoss, M.D., and Charles Tart, Ph.D., both adding their experience to the development of GOING HOME. GOING HOME takes full advantage of simple labels given states of human consciousness through research by the Monroe Institute, and the experience by thousands of people who have used them as points of reference. Both the GOING HOME Subject and Support Group learn successively to experience these various states of consciousness while still possessing a living physical body. The labels are only a means of neutral identification. FOCUS ONE is a state of physical waking consciousness in the Here-Now portion of time and space we call the Planet Earth. FOCUS TEN is where the physical body is deeply relaxed enough so that physical sensory signals to the mind are greatly reduced, yet the mind remains awake and conscious, the physical body in light sleep. FOCUS TWELVE is a deepening of body sleep, where the mind begins to perceive in ways ordinarily restricted by physical signal input. It is the beginning of awareness of the freedom human mind-consciousness has from complete dependency on the physical body. FOCUS FIFTEEN begins the conscious experience of No-Time with progressively greater states of separation of mind consciousness from physical body signals very similar to the deeper stages of sleep – except that the mind remains awake.

FOCUS TWENTY ONE is the edge of human perception of time-space, equivalent to very deep sleep, yet the mind is fully conscious and active. FOCUS TWENTY TWO is the human mind border between time-space and other non-physical states of being. It is often experienced as a slight change in vibration. FOCUS TWENTY THREE is the condition of a human being immediately after physical death. It is a very active area filled with ex-physical human minds in various states of confusion, stasis, emotion – and sometimes waiting or curious. FOCUS TWENTY FOUR is the site of nonphysical activity generated by simple or primitive religious belief systems of humans both past and present. As in all belief systems at the non-physical level, there will be very little perception, only a flash or shadow or two if one knows nothing about the belief. FOCUS TWENTY FIVE is the expression of the major organized religious beliefs in recent human physical history. Distinctly separate in activity, here are Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam and others, complete with various denominations thereof. The visitor touring the area will be attracted only to those which have been and are a strong element in his or her physical life structure. Others will be flickering patterns much less coherent, varying in degree according to direct individual knowledge, experience and interest. FOCUS TWENTY SIX identifies narrow postmortal areas few in number that contain the structures and knowledge of various highly individual religious and other beliefs that are each based upon direct experience of self. Some are composed of no more than two or three ex-physical humans. Thus great selectivity is a major factor in both perception and admission into these sectors. Awareness alone is often the beginning or entry point of most of these unique and exclusive systems. FOCUS TWENTY SEVEN is on the edge of human thought capability as it is currently organized, the site of a way-station for rest and recovery from the trauma of physical death.

RECOMMENDED Meetings with Subject and Support Group, including medical helpers and care givers, should be held to describe and give instructions regarding the GOING HOME methods and application. If the Subject is unable to attend for any reason, be sure to try and keep the Subject aware that such meetings are taking place. For recording the comments, discussions and Subject’s response for family history archives, a simple tape recorder can be invaluable. Here are the main items to be covered: First and foremost, be sure that all members of the Group have read carefully both the GOING HOME information booklet and this Instruction Manual. If the Subject cannot do so, one of the Group should read them directly to the Subject. AA. Select one person from the Group who is considered the most capable in terms of a Coordinator. It will be this individual’s role to see that the flow of GOING HOME runs smoothly. A. Select the one person in the Group that is among the most intimate and most loved by the Subject and with whom the Subject is most apt to confide. This is the one who will spend significant private time with the Subject. 1. In meetings, discuss the BASICS and the six SECTIONS as provided in this Manual. If the Subject is not present, have the appropriate member of the group (A) conduct a private meeting with the Subject soon thereafter. 2. Practice the proper use of the cassette tape players. (Two or more are recommended, one to remain always with the Subject, and the other for rotation among the Support Group). They should be stereo, with volume and balance controls, switchable Auto Reverse, preferably AC powered instead of batteries. Quality headphones are best, but audio speakers can be used if necessary, one on each side of the Subject’s bed, facing the pillow.

3. Great care should be taken in the volume and balance of the tape playback to the Subject, and by members of the Group. It should be heard equally in both ears, and not too loudly. 4. Two GOING HOME albums are provided. The first, labeled Subject, contains learning exercises (with an “S” suffix to the tape number) that are specifically designed for and should remain with the Subject. Those with an “E” added to the tape number suffix are to be played to the Subject, only at the appropriate time, and with selection by the Subject if possible. Any of them can be reviewed by members of the Support Group if desired. Even the “E” Subject exercises can be explored, as they will end only in sleep for the individual. The second album, labeled Support, contains information and exercises to be used by the Support Group. These tapes are identified by a “G” suffix added to the tape number. With the exception of the information cassettes (HEMI-SYNC TECHNOLOGY and GOING HOME LEADERS), these learning exercises should be used by the Support Group only and not by the Subject. The reason for this is quite simple. Although the Support exercises may seem the same as those for the Subject, they include various physical health affirmations that may induce internal conflicts within the Subject due to an inability to conform to them. 5. When GOING HOME exercises are taken either by Subject or Group member, be sure to lie down in an isolated area, and that no interruptions will occur during the exercise. Very soft lighting is best, but not total darkness. 6. Each tape exercise should be used in the recommended sequence. This is important because GOING HOME is an evolving learning method. Exceptions are GOING HOME LEADERS (GH-201G, Sides A & B) and HEMI-SYNC TECHNOLOGY (GH-202G, Side A) which are informative rather than actual exercises. REMOVE AND RELEASE (GH-203G, Side B), RECHARGE AND REGENERATE (GH206G, Side A), and RESTORATIVE SLEEP (GH-206G, Side B) can also be used out of sequence. 7. Each tape exercise should be repeated at following sessions until Subject or Support Group member appears cognizant and/or satisfied as to the personal, individual results. 8. Check that all tapes are fully rewound before using, as starting in the middle of an exercise can be confusing. 9. Before beginning the exercises, the Subject and the Support Group should each design their own mental Security Repository Box. This is the image of a large and strong box with a heavy lid that each will use during the learning process. To get it firmly in your mind, make a simple sketch on paper. You will mentally open and close it during each learning session to insert distracting thoughts. If the Subject is unable to think it out alone, one of the Group can draw one for this purpose, with the lid of the box both open and closed. Here is a sample illustration, or one you can use if desired: 10. Gather your Support Group together as often as may be convenient to discuss the response of the Subject. Include the Subject when and if it seems appropriate. Record such meetings on audio tape if possible – you eventually will be happy that you did! 11. Keep a simple diary of each tape exercise as it is used, reporting the response of the Subject, and that of the Group. This will make it easier to fill out a Completion Form which you will receive later from the Institute that can be of great service to others. 12. The Exercise REMOVE AND RELEASE (GH102S, Side A; GH-203G, Side B) can be repeated again and again as needed, especially in between the other exercises. It has a long and successful history of adjustment and understanding of emotional traumas that may be latent or dominant in the Subject and the Support Group in attendance. 13. Exercises RIGHT OF PASSAGE (GH-104SE, Side A), HOMECOMING (GH-104SE, Side B), FREEDOM FLIGHT (GH-105SE, Side A) and RETURN TO REVELATION (GH-105SE, Side B) are not to be used until it becomes obvious that the Subject is ready and desires to depart. Use the one or ones

selected by the Subject if possible. If not, use the one that relates to the earlier version that brought out the best response in the Subject. The only difference in those with the “E” at the end of the number is that these do NOT close with a verbal guidance back to complete physical waking consciousness. The one selected may be repeated until the transition takes place, or substituted with other “E” exercises as desired or needed. Most important, the choice of departure and destination remains solely that of the Subject. If this does not take place, the Subject will drop off into sleep and eventually wake up physically. 14. Many spiritual systems and religions, as well as the non-ordinary experience of some living people, strongly suggest that the disassociation and departure of the non-physical self at death is not as instantaneous as it seems. In many cases, the last physical link appears to be the sense of hearing. RELOCATION THEME (OH-106SE, Sides A and B) is to be played to the Subject’s body immediately after medical diagnosis that the physical body is no longer alive. It should be repeated for at least one hour after such notification. Two to three hours are preferred. Make such arrangements with the medical authorities long before the actual physical death seems imminent. Most important, the Support Group may be able to give vocal messages to the departing Subject during the playing of this recording, which is basically music. To help the process, the Subject’s headphones can be loosened and moved slightly to one side. Identify vocally the Group Member just before the message is spoken. Speak softly near the ear, but not too close. Physically touching the Subject’s body does not have any major effect. Based upon the personality of the Subject, this is a climaxing opportunity for the Support Group to improvise. Perhaps a farewell party around the departing Subject’s body may be appropriate. 15. From the very beginning, discuss candidly the following among the Group, and privately with the Subject, and continue to do so during the growth of the Different Overview generated by GOING HOME: – THE FEELING OF EACH ABOUT THE COMING DEATH OF THE SUB JECT. – THE FEELING OF THE SUBJECT ABOUT DEATH, BOTH CONSCIOUSLY AND UNSPOKEN, AND IN THE OPINION OF THE GROUP. – ACTION EACH CAN TAKE ABOUT ANY UNRESOLVED EMOTIONAL OR OTHER CONCERNS THAT MAY BE PRESENT IN THE SUBJECT. – CHANGES IN EMOTIONS AND ATTITUDES OF THE SUBJECT AND MEMBERS OF THE GROUP AS THE PROGRAM PROGRESSES. – PLAN STEPS TO BE TAKEN BY THE GROUP AFTER THE SUBJECT’S DEATH, WITH DESIRES OF THE SUBJECT CAREFULLY AND CASUALLY OBTAINED AND INCLUDED. 16. Read some of the books and papers by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Charles Tart and Robert Monroe, available in public and institutional libraries as well as bookstores. They will assist greatly in the understanding of GOING HOME. 17. Record in your diary any specific impressions or “messages” you feel you received from the Subject after his or her departure from this physical reality. If it is material that can be verified, make a serious attempt to do so, if for no other reason than your own knowledge and satisfaction.

18. After departure by the Subject, maintain contacts among the Support Group, even to continue use of the exercise tapes including those in the Subject album, if so desired. However, the Group Coordinator should eventually retrieve all tapes and albums, including this Manual, to hold in reserve for the next Subject among the Group’s family and friends.

To learn more, we need to hear from users of this series, from both the Subject and the Support Group. So please. for the sake of future GOING HOME users, drop us a line. What works really well? What could be improved or added? Let us know: THE MONROE INSTITUTE Route 1, Box 175 Faber, Virginia 22938-9749 Phone 804-361-1252 FAX: 804-361-1237

Bridging The Gap -Throughout human history, there has been a common yearning and nostalgia for something deep in ourselves -- our true identity, our origin. Many of usinterpret it as a desire to revisit the site of our physical birthplace and childhood. Of those who do, most come away vaguely unsatisfied and unfulfilled. They expected more but cannot define what they mean by "more." Then there are among us ordinary people, those who sometimes pause for a moment to reflect what it all means, but just for a moment. A growing number of us finally become astute enough to realize one way or another, that each of us will eventually be "Going Home," to our original point of origin. Not Here but There, without keen knowledge of what "There" really is. It's only a matter of time. The Life Span System developed by the Monroe Institute, is based upon a determination to provide a learning process for every human need. The newest and latest within this system is a special kind of help for those with life-threatening illness or injuries, and for their family and loved ones. It is appropriately labeled:

GOING HOME This is a set of learning exercises on audio cassettes designed for use at a private residence, in hospitals, hospices and nursing care facilities. GOING HOME came into being with the participation and support of two long time friends of Robert Monroe, Founder of the Monroe Institute. They are Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D, long accepted world-wide as the leading authority on human death and dying; and Charles Tart. Ph.D., author, university professor, and internationally known for his research into altered states of human consciousness. For clarity, GOING HOME makes the following identifications: one who is in the last and irreversible stages of a terminal illness or injury is called the Subject. Those who are in close loving and loved contact with the Subject, family, friends, and care-givers are called the Support Group. The Primary Purpose is to provide the Subject with an interesting prospect of valuable knowledge achieved through direct experience, rather than simply awaiting a dull and distasteful event. Related Secondary Purposes: A. To release the Subject from the fear of physical . death. This is achieved by developing in the Subject the surety that one is more than the physical body, and one does survive physical death. B. To help the Subject let go of emotions, guilt, and obligations that are no longer needed and bind one to the present physical life experience. C. To help the Subject recognize and remember some of the possibilities subsequent to this present physical life experience. D. To provide the Subject an opportunity to exercise calmly and rationally the option to depart this physical existence when one so desires. E. To provide the Support Group of the Subject with enough exposure to GOING HOME learning exercises, so as to assure their understanding and encouragement for the Subject engaged in the process. Equally important, such action can reduce greatly the stress of each before and after the coming critical event. These purposes are achieved by introduction to, and the experience of, specific states of altered consciousness through the application of sound patterns known as Hemi-Sync, a product of over thirty years research and development by the Monroe Institute. Many thousands of persons have successfully achieved and utilized the states of conscious awareness generated by these methods and techniques. GOING HOME guides the individual through the various physiological states similar to the typical stages of sleep – with a major exception: the mind remains alert and conscious while the body exhibits all the signs of deepening sleep. As the learning progresses, fewer and fewer physical body nerve signals enter

the mind until a basic conclusion is reached: the human mind-consciousness does not require such signals in order to exist and be active. Secure in this knowledge, the learning system then provides the experience of guided visits and tours into states of consciousness just beyond time-space – those that are usually entered upon departure from physical existence, and explored many times by Monroe Institute research teams. Participants with profound religious beliefs may easily identify states of being that are familiar, although no particular religious pattern is part of the process. In many, a feeling of remembering may arise during such tours which can alter significantly their mental and emotional set when they return to physical wakefulness, yet no specific memory suggestion is provided. Included in such tours is a visit to the Park, an interim “way-station” for those just completing the physical death transition, a point of rest and recuperation if needed. The result for one who participates in these guided visits and tours via GOING HOME can be, at the least, greater tolerance of any present life situation. At most, the GOING HOME participant may learn to control calmly the sequence of the coming critical event, even to the point where it becomes interesting and exciting. The GOING HOME system also helps care-givers, family and friends understand better and accept the reality of the death process so as to provide badly needed specific support at critical moments. They are an equally important part of the program. Included are methods that can be employed to help them consistently adjust to and recover from the loss of their loved one. From Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: “Ten years ago, I would not have believed that something like GOING HOME was possible. But here it is, and the pattern of the program is so simple that almost anyone can benefit from using it. You don’t have to change your religious or other beliefs to participate. I also like that family and loved ones are included. So often they are not a part of the system that tries to give care to the person who is dying, and these others need help almost as much in other ways. Very important, all of what we have learned and taught through the years can be a part of this program. All our books and papers can be provided to assist in the understanding of the process. All of the care givers in hospices, hospitals and nursing homes can use their knowledge of our work when this program is used in their facilities. Now, what we begin in our workshops and lectures can be continued wherever our friends are when they leave. And most important, the GOING HOME program is finally a way that we may be able to help our dying friends not only during their transition, but afterward as well. Several times, I myself have visited the Park, the way-station they call Focus 27 in the program. It is a beautiful place and filled with love and understanding. Maybe we will meet there some day.” From Charles Tart:

“The tremendous advances in medical treatment in our times has, unfortunately, a shadowy side to it: the way we treat the dying. Instead of recognizing our natural dignity and spirituality, we suppress them and believe all things are material, so death often becomes a medical ‘failure,’ best ignored as much as possible. Sedate the patient, add distractions and don’t think about it too much.

Yet impending death can be a resolution and culmination of life – a time to embark on a psychological and spiritual adventure, time to become acquainted with our deeper selves that lie beyond the distractions of everyday life. The possibilities are hinted at in many life experiences which normally get too little attention, which are dismissed by our too busy, work-a-day minds – the peak experiences, the fleeting

mystical tastes of deeper understanding, the psychic flashes of knowing about things at a distance.

The GOING HOME training series on audio cassettes is based upon modern scientific and technical discoveries for getting acquainted with and exploring the deeper aspects of your mind, what we call altered states of consciousness. While science can go only so far in thinking about what lies beyond death, we can die in a far more interesting and challenging way. Designed for the skeptical as well as the deeply religious, GOING HOME invites you, the dying person, to open to and cooperate with a deeper part of you that is beyond ordinary life and death.

You don’t need a medical pronouncement that you are close to death to benefit from the training series. We are all dying persons. It’s just a matter of time.” From Robert Monroe: “GOING HOME is most particularly the result of a recent Life Span project titled LIFELINE. This program was an attempt to solve a personal problem – the onset of cancer in my wife Nancy. I felt I needed ‘death insurance,’ a guarantee that we could be together whatever took place. When our research and exploration team discovered the Park, many visits were made to verify the experience. LIFELINE then was developed and became a week-long seminar where individuals learned to go to Focus 27 (modern label for The Park) as visitors and helpers. Who and what originally created the Park is unknown. An uncounted large number of humans suffering post-mortem bewilderment and fright are constantly arriving at the Park and its environs for rest and recuperation. When they are calm and rational again, each makes a choice as to the next life sojourn from the many options available. After several years of successful LIFELINE program experience, we realized something was missing. This missing element was brought forcefully into this ‘loved one’ with the death of Nancy. We did not deal with the emotional and other factors of the death transition itself at the Here-Now level. Not just for the Subject, but for the family and loved ones.

GOING HOME SEQUENCE The Series consists of two six-cassette audio albums, one for the Subject and one for the Support Group. Although some parts may seem similar, each is different in expression The First Section An introduction to the factors and people behind the organization and production of GOING HOME, Two elements perform this function: Hemi-Sync Technology demonstrates the pattern of Hemi-Sync Sound developed for accelerated learning by the Monroe Institute, a major key to the effectiveness of the learning series. The second is Going Home Leaders, an audio introduction via recorded interviews and discussions with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Charles Tart, and Robert Monroe. The Second Section This provides the beginning of an intensive learning program of differentiation between human mindconsciousness and the physical body. The first is the exercise Mind Awake, Body Asleep, which brings recognition that physical body signal input is not necessary to maintain active consciousness. This is demonstrated fully in the exercise Flying Free, where one soars high above both Earth and towering clouds.

The Third Section Here are key steps in knowing that we are indeed more than our physical bodies. The first is Remove and Release, a systematic exercise where one learns to detach from binding and restraining anxieties and concerns that prevent full expression of what we truly are. The second learning exercise is experiencing with full non-physical consciousness the Freedom Route to the Edge of Here-Now, where time no longer exists, and space is but a thought. The Fourth Section With the knowledge that human consciousness is much more than a physical body and certainly not dependent upon it for continued existence, a guided visit along the Freedom Route into those states of being just beyond time and space is offered in the learning exercise Touring Interstate. It is within this exploration that valid memory of who and what you are, including that of Home, may indeed occur. Based upon such experience, the exercise Moment of Revelation is available to verify again and again what you have perceived. The Fifth Section With extended knowledge based upon personal experience, the GOING HOME learning series provides the following exercises as ways and means to explore more widely, to do and be that which you desire: Right of Passage – return to states of being you know and understand along the Interstate. Homecoming – Further selective tours of the Interstate. Freedom Flight – Reunion with the contacts already made. Return to Revelation – Expand, remember and hold that which you experienced. NOTE: There is NO direct or subliminal suggestion in GOING HOME learning exercises that the user terminate physical life existence. The program does provide a way to resolve any fears or emotional barriers related to this natural process. The decision and resolution to act accordingly based upon this different perspective is left entirely with the individual. Thus anyone can participate in GOING HOME learning, and benefit from the experience, especially those close to the dying loved one. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D. For over 20 years, Dr. Ross has been recognized world-wide as a foremost authority in the field of death, dying and transition. She has made singular and ground-breaking contributions to the movement toward greater understanding of these life experiences both within the medical establishment and the community of the helping professions, as well as among the general public. Her work in providing help and service to those in the final stages of physical life has been truly unique. Her first book, ON DEATH AND DYING, has become a master text on the subject and is required reading in most major medical and nursing schools as well as graduate schools in psychiatry and theology. Her sixteen additional books plus hundreds of lectures and workshops held both in the United States and abroad have benefited millions of people in these matters of intense human interest and concern. Charles Tart, Ph.D. Dr. Tart is a Professor of Psychology at the University of California at Davis and is internationally known for his research in altered states of consciousness, transpersonal psychology, and parapsychology. His books include two that have become classics: Altered States of Consciousness and Trans-personal Psychologies, and eight others dealing with related areas of human consciousness. His latest book is Open Mind, Reflections on Human Possibilities. Another, Living the Mindful Life is to be published in 1994. A researcher and lecturer, he also has been a student of many diverse meditative states and disciplines. His primary goals are to build bridges between the scientific and spiritual communities, and to help bring

about a refinement and integration of Western and Eastern approaches to personal and social growth. Robert A. Monroe The origin of Mr. Monroe’s interest took place in 1956, when he set up a small research and development program in his New York based company. The research was designed to determine the feasibility of learning during sleep. In 1958, a key result emerged – a little-known state of consciousness separate and apart from the physical body. The Research Team gave it the label, Out-of-Body Experience (OBE), which has become generic in our culture. In the ensuing years, Mr. Monroe and his group began work on means and methods of inducing and controlling this and other forms of consciousness in their laboratory. As specialists in creating patterns of effective sound, they used this base for their research. Their efforts gradually produced significant results, and attracted international interest among people from all walks of life. These included medical doctors, psychologists, physicists, psychiatrists, ministers and research engineers, to name a few. The Monroe Institute was formed out of the original research group, and began conducting learning seminars in self-control of human consciousness. These seminars were held at various locations both in the United States and abroad, although most are now conducted at the Institute Center in the foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge. Over 6,000 people have attended their GATEWAY, GUIDELINES, LIFELINES, and LIFE SPAN 2000 Programs. Through the years, there have been many major articles published, based upon the Monroe Institute activities. Several related books are in publication, including Ronald Russell’s Using the Whole Brain and Robert Monroe’s trilogy published by Doubleday, Journeys Out of the Body, Far Journeys, and Ultimate Journey. Also, the Institute has produced several hundred audio learning exercises on tape that have benefited many thousands of individuals and groups in their control of consciousness. GOING HOME is the newest of these.
