A Gateway to Gateway

The declassified report that concluded leaving your body was physically plausible – and what it actually recommended.

$3.99

In 1983, a U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel wrote an official report concluding that leaving your body was physically plausible — and drew up a plan to train soldiers to do it.

Almost everyone gets this document backwards.

The story you've heard is that the Army looked into the Gateway Process, applied some healthy skepticism, found nothing, and shut it down. It's tidy. It's also wrong, and you can verify that yourself in about ten minutes.

What Lieutenant Colonel Wayne McDonnell actually wrote was that there is "a sound, rational basis in terms of physical science parameters for considering Gateway to be plausible." He then proposed a phased program to develop the capability — Hemi-Sync audio, REM-sleep frequencies, hypnotic suggestion, deliberate out-of-body training, multiple simultaneous observers to filter distortion out of retrieved intelligence, and preparation for encountering intelligent non-corporeal energy forms.

His closing line: "it is to be hoped that we will truly find a gateway to Gateway."

That is not a debunking. That is an officer asking for a program.

This book walks through the real document in plain English — no hype, and no talking down to you:

  • Who wrote it, who asked for it, and why Army intelligence was taking this seriously in 1983

  • The Focus levels — 10, 12, 15 and 21 — the framework the entire report runs on, and the part most summaries skip entirely

  • What the training actually involved: the Energy Conversion Box, Resonant Tuning, the REBAL, patterning, the Energy Bar Tool

  • Hemi-Sync and binaural beats explained honestly — the real mechanism, and exactly where the claims outrun it

  • The holographic model of consciousness McDonnell borrowed from David Bohm and Karl Pribram — and the leap he made that they never did

  • The missing page 25: absent for eighteen years, declared nonexistent by the CIA, recovered in 2021 — and what "The Absolute" actually says

  • McDonnell's real conclusions and recommendations, quoted and unpacked

  • What the 1995 shutdown of the remote viewing program did and did not decide — the confusion at the heart of every bad retelling

  • What neuroscience has learned since 1983 about inducing out-of-body experiences in a laboratory

No background required. No belief required. Every claim in this book is checkable against a free public document, and the last chapter shows you exactly how to check it.

Read what the report actually says here — then go read it yourself.
