Open AI Summary

This CIA memorandum, dated August 23, 1983, discusses the Monroe Institute of Applied Science (M.I.A.S.) seminar called the Mark V program. The program aims to expand human consciousness and perception of reality through a patented technology that synchronizes right/left brain interaction and produces peak brain wave activity. The seminar consists of six days of intensive tape exercises followed by discussions with Robert Monroe and other M.I.A.S. personnel. Participants may also engage in one-on-one sessions with seminar counselors. The program is designed to broaden intellectual horizons and provoke emotional responses. While Out-of-Body-Experiences (OBE) can occur, they are not the purpose of the seminar. Personal value derived from the experience is dependent on the degree of individual participation. The memorandum recommends participants to be open-minded, to give and participate 100%, and to dress casually and engage in physical exercise during free time. It notes that not all individuals associated with M.I.A.S. are friendly towards the U.S. Government or Army Intelligence personnel attending the seminar.

 MEMORANDUM FOR MG STUBB.LEBINE                              23 August 1983
 SUBJECT:    The  Monroe  Institute  of  Applied        Science  (M.I.A .S .)
 Seminar  (U)
 The  Mark  V program at  M.I.A.S.,  is  the latest  improvement over
 the original "Gateway"     experience. This experience  is  intended
 to   expand  mans  consciousness   and  broaden  his        perception of
 reality.    This  is  accomplished  through   a       patented technology
 which  synchronizes   right/left brain  interaction    and  produces
 peak  amplitude  within the    optimum  brain  wave activity  areas.
 This  allows thought  while  in        higher order brain wave states;
 conducive to original thought and/or holistic idea formulation.
 Six days of intensive tape exercises; with each tape followed by
 a  discussion  relevant  to  the  experience.   This can       range  from
 personal (emotional), to group (intellectual) in nature.
 Approximate  one-.two  hour  discussion  periods  with  Mr.   Robert
 Monroe  are  presented   in  the    adjoining   David Francis  Hall.
 Topics covered are generally philosophic in nature.
 Various films and tapes are presented following the above talks
 which are designed to enhance the overall experience.
 Talks  are  also given  by other  M. I .A .S .    personnel, with direct
 reference   to  the  professional/medical         association,  New  Land
 concept(s),  and  may   include a tour  of        the  newly constructed
 M.I.A .S . experimental lab.
 One--on-one sessions between participants and the trained seminar
 counsellor also takes place as/or when necessary.
 Intellectual  horizons  will  be  broadened  and         new  concepts of
 perception are unavoidable.

 Light  and  heavy  emotion packed  responses  will  result from  the
 intensive tape experience.
 The    experience  can  be  expected   to  alter    the  participants
 personality with regard to interpersonal relationships.
 While  Out-of--Body-Experiences  (OBE)  are  known  to  spontaneously
 occur  as  a  result of the technology utilized,    this    is  not the
 purpose of the seminar.
 Personal value  derived  is  completely    dependent    on degree of
 participation or effort which one puts into the experience.
 M.I.A.S .  does not  "push" a specific philosophic,     spiritual, or
 intellectual position on anyone.   They do try to  open    the human
 concept of experience and consciousness.
 Prior to attending the seminar, practice tapes were provided      in
 order to assist the participant      in quick adaptation to training
 techniques.   Not using these prior to participation can directly
 affect  the  outcome  experienced    by  the  participant, due    to
 reduced sensitivity.
 The   Group   identity   will   have  a   direct   result   on   the
 effectiveness of  the experience.    In  this case  because of   the
 all  "military  minded"  group,  unless   participants  across   the
 board   are willing,  and  urged     to  divest themselves  of  peer
 pressure,  rank  consciousness,     ego  based self protectiveness,
 etc., the experience of the whole will be severely diluted.
 RECOMMEND
 Have no expectations other than to be "Open" minded.
 Give and participate 100%.
 Enjoy the experience more as a fun or human thing to do, versus
 work oriented.
 Dress in shorts and tee shirt, and carry along a bathing suit.
 Fasting  during  the  seminar,  or  conscious control  of  the amount
 of food intake has been known to enhance the experience.

 Prepare   to  spend  free  time  in  a  physical   exercise   (e.g.,
 jogging,   swimming,   hiking,   etc.).    This   will   assist   in
 "grounding"  the participant which in   turn   greatly enhances  the
 experience.
 Not   all of the people who reside on the property, or  those
 who    frequent or  visit  the  center are friendly  to  the  U.  S.
 Government  or  Array.    Some  can  be particularly caustic    with
 regard       towards "Intelligence" type personnel involvement  with
 M.I.A.S.   During my most recent visit it was clearly established
 by personnel (other than M.I.A .S . Employees)  that they were very
 much aware the U. S. Army,  specifically U. S. Army     Intelligence
 personnel, were coming to attend a seminar.
