The Monroe Institute

Attending programs at the Monroe Institute in Faber, Virginia (www.monroeinstitute.com) further expanded my photographic repertoire of the unseen, as well as visually seeing interdimensional forms. The institute uses patented hemi-sync audio technology to enhance and develop expanded awareness. It's not unusual to be in an altered state for several days during or even after the programs are completed, at which time, one can still be receptive to interdimensional communication in various ways, depending on the person. For me, that communication primarily comes through my camera. The photos included here were taken on site at the Institute, and within a day or two afterwards, when I returned home from a program. I highly recommend the three books by the late Robert Monroe, Far Journeys, Journeys Out of the Body, and Ultimate Journey, detailing his discovery of out-of-body states of awareness, and his subsequent founding of the institute for scientific study of altered states. Robert Bruce, one of today's great experts on out of body states and author of Astral Dynamics, was one of my instructors at TMI for a weekend workshop. I have included here photos from that workshop. click images to enlarge


Orb photos at the Monroe Institute are fairly common, but always a pleasure.

This is an enlargement of an orb taken at The Monroe Institute during the Gateway program, 2006.


Here are two other orbs taken during the Gateway program, which exemplify opaque, self-luminous orbs. As a phenomenon of interdimensional life, orbs come in many varieties: textured, opaque, self-luminous, transparent, colored, cut-out, ringed, and other forms. Many I have photographed have faces, and recently, I have begun to get orbs with what appear to be wormholes in them.

	During the Gateway program, we enjoyed going outside at night to orb-hunt. I took this picture of a member of the group about to take a picture, and this heart-shaped light showed up!

During the Out-of-Body weekend workshop with Robert Bruce and Maureen Caudill in May, 2007, I took these photos of Robert during a toning meditation outside one night. Notice the white film over his face, because I believe this white film is a beginning manifestation of his astral body, which appears in the following photo.

	I have never gotten a photo like this before, or since, even in simple blurred images. The astral body, or his etheric double, the head above Robert's head, is not exactly like his real body head. The light perspective is different, the eyes do not have the "red-eye" artifact of the camera, and the expression in the face is different also. I did wonder if this were just a blur of the image, but if it were just that, I think Robert's blurred head would have been to the side, and not up high like this. At any rate, this image seemed very appropriate to the situation, since we were in heightened states of awareness already, both Robert himself, and me, the photographer at an OBE workshop! I thank Robert for his permission to show this photo of him on my site.

Another image of Robert's toning with the men's group, with orb present. From my friend, Bev Scott, healer and energy worker: The Universe is founded on music and mathematics. If you could hear the heavenly bodies as they travel the Universe you would hear beautiful tones emanating from within each one. You can say then that Toning is the Music of the Spheres, it is also a wonderful healing tool and simplifies and strengthens prayer and meditation, there are no words to limit or hinder the process. Everything has its vibrational frequency including our bodies and everything therein. If our body's vibrational frequencies are out of tune, toning can bring them back into harmony and healing begins.

	During the OBE weekend, outside the Roberts Mountain Retreat Center. I really have no idea whether this light is an artifact of slow shutter speed or not, but the tree is not blurred. Keep in mind that during "nightshot" images, if your camera does not have the infrared sensor blocked, you may get interdimensional light frequencies, and if you are in an altered state of consciousness, facilitated by the hemi-sync technology, you may get even more in your images, because you are resonating with the higher realms.

After returning home to Arizona from the OBE workshop, within a day, I was still in a slight meditative state. About 5 p.m., I was looking out my window and saw a small white column of light floating from the top of the mountain, down the side. It was very small, but the movement was smooth, not like a bird in flight, and the column remained vertical the entire time. I grabbed my camera and got a few images before it floated away, over the mountain top. I immediately asked that it return, because I was so enthralled and mystified with it and I wanted more photos. To my surprise, it did come back and it then came back down below the top of the mountain, and split into two pieces on a ridge. To some extent, I do attribute these sightings and photos to my experience at the Monroe Institute a few days before, because the work at TMI will most often open your third eye to other dimensions. In my case, I believe I channel through my camera, and my workshop experience with Robert and Maureen simply expanded that ability. In addition, I saw this light visually, expanding third eye awareness.

I think the hemi-sync technology at TMI, affected my ability to connect with higher dimensions while using my camera, even after returning from the retreat. What this light was, is another issue, but seeing into the other realms is the beginning. Discovering what we are experiencing, is also a component of the Monroe programs, so there is more work for me to do there.

	I met a man from Florida who had attended TMI several times, and the night before I left for the institute for my first time, Basil sent me a blue orb as an experiment. He gave me a time to photograph it on my balcony. I believe this is the orb he sent me to wish me a safe and pleasant journey.
