Harloween The Secret Classroom Gateway GATE and the Children Who Remember

Let me say this slow. Some of us were never just students. We were test subjects. At the time, it felt random and thought they were just doing normal testing, but now know that it was completely different. But you have these kids being blindfolded in these tests as well, trying to move things. I've never really had the courage to talk about it because it just makes me feel like sleeper cell, and don't really with that. Do you remember sitting in classroom, but it wasn't like the other classrooms? The fluorescent lights seemed too bright, the air too still. They sat you in chair, slipped headphones over your ears, and told you to close your eyes. You heard tones, not music, not words, just tones. And then nothing. For years, maybe you forgot until now. All over the internet, people are remembering kids who were part of something called Gate, Gifted and Talented Education. On paper, it was just program for bright children. But some of them recall odd exercises, strange tapes, and long blank spots in their memories. These people also claim to share certain traits. Hazel eyes, no broken bones throughout life, neurode divergence in adulthood, and darkness where childhood memories should exist. Is this coincidence or something more nefarious? Because at the same time these children were pulled into gate classrooms, the CIA was running program called Gateway. program designed to push the human mind outside the body and beyond time itself. Hello everybody. Welcome back to my channel and happy Halloween. was really excited to research and create this video for you and it has literally been months in the making. started looking into this subject or topic guess you can call it in early February of 2025 and you can ask the people who know me for long time it was all could talk about all could think about. every spare moment had was spent looking into this because every now and then stumble across topic that feels less like discovery and more like remembering. That's what happened when first heard people talk about the GATE program, the old gifted and talented education classes that so many of us were part of. At first, thought it was just nostalgia. But the more stories listened to, the more read, the stranger it all started to feel. There was this thread running through it, feeling couldn't shake, like deja vu, like I'd been here before, even though couldn't quite remember. So, started going down the rabbit hole. Tik Toks, Reddit forums, old documents, declassified memos, and every piece found made that feeling stronger and stranger, right? Familiar names, familiar sounds, the same strange memories popping up again and again from people who had never met. For months, couldn't stop thinking about it. So, did what always do. researched. pulled the files, read the theories, traced the connections, and tried to make sense of the whispers. And tonight, for Halloween, get to share what found with all of you. And I'm very excited to do that. I'm very excited to hear what you have to say about it in the comment section. So, we have lot to talk about today. lot. This is going to be very long video. I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry because it's all interesting and it's all great. You're going to like it.

This is complex topic. It's not simple story at all. It's tangle of CIA experiments, government classrooms, and strange memories that have followed people into adulthood. As always, to understand what happened at the end, we have to go back to the beginning. And you may not understand why I'm choosing this beginning to go back to, but stick with me. You will soon. So, Robert Alan Monroe was born in Indiana on October 30th, 1915 to pretty typical family. His father was college professor of romance languages and his mother was musically talented non-practicing doctor. Monroe studied engineering and journalism at Ohio State University, but he dropped out during his sophomore year due to an extended hospital stay for facial burn. So, in the 1930s and 40s, Monroe worked in radio broadcasting. And in the 1950s, he started his own company, Ram Enterprises, which originally produced and syndicated radio dramas, music shows, and entertainment programming. He ended up becoming very successful in the broadcast world. And by the mid 1950s, RAM, his company, had pivoted to sound research, specifically researching how audio could be used to improve learning and memory. Monroe became very interested in the idea of sleep learning and his company tested ways to use sound frequency recordings played during sleep to teach languages, boost memory, and reinforce good habits. However, while running these experiments, Monroe began to have strange sensations that would turn into his first out-of- body experiences. He claimed that for year he'd been having recurring dream of flying plane and getting the plane off the ground and once got it off the ground that would look up and here are all these wires. It was if one were flying down the street and there were all these power lines overhead and telephone lines and you couldn't find hole to get out of it. This dream that Robert Monroe had about flying plane was also accompanied by strange physical sensations. also began to experience funny kind of vibration. And went to my It was as if my body were shaking but there was no feeling of shaking. It was just internal. And went hurrying to my favorite doctor and he examined me and says, you are working too hard. You are stressful. good. There's nothing wrong with you. Go take pill and relax or something. So once Monroe received medical confirmation that there was nothing, you know, medically wrong with him, he sort of leaned into these strange sensations and events. He said that when he was in these states, these altered states, he was very scared at first and he would have to fight to pull himself away from them. One particular afternoon when was lying down, said, "All right, fine." The vibration came. If it's going to kill me, let it kill me. So, waited and waited and waited and after while, after about 5 minutes, it faded away and was still alive. So, thought, "Ha, now know it won't kill me. So, I'm on safe ground." So, after that, began to simply let it happen and wait that five minutes so could do something. Once he had learned to release control, Robert Monroe claims that this is when he had his first out-of- body experience. And on this one famous night, as we're in 1958, was lying in bed on Friday night, waiting for this vibration to end so could go to sleep. And as was lying there thinking about what was going to do the next day while this vibration got through doing what it was supposed to do, suddenly felt something bumping against my shoulder. And that of course is part of the history when discovered that what was bumping against was the ceiling of my bedroom. And that bumping turned around and did not know where was till saw this funny sort of fountain coming out of what thought was the floor. And thought, where am This is funny kind of dream. And looked more closely and there thought there's something terribly wrong. This is not fountain. This is the chandelier. the light fixture coming out of the ceiling. So looked around and sure enough down there in the bed below me was my wife lying in bed and beside her was man in bed. And says, "What kind of dream is this? This is strange dream. Who who would think of who would be in bed with my wife?" And said, can't resist finding out." So moved little closer and then this great shock came over me because the person in bed with my wife was me. And then the fright came, the terror. What am doing? Am dying? Let me get back quick something. So went through the air like this, swimming through the air to get back to the body. Pang and got back in the body. That was the first time that in turn found out. And then very quickly sat up and everything was quiet. was my heart was racing because was excited. But everything else was fine. My wife's asleep, quiet, nothing, no problem. So that is exactly how it began all the way back in 1958. In 1971, Monroe published his first book, Journeys Out of the Body, which became cult classic and introduced the term out-of- body experience to the mainstream. In the book, Monroe detailed how his obbees, or out-of- body experiences, had been triggered during his sleep sound experiments. and he described the loud buzzing, roaring and tingling vibrations that led to the sensation of separating from his body. He also introduced the concept of local which he described as levels of reality beyond the physical world. Monroe described slipping free of his body traveling across the earth and into other worlds, meeting beings that seemed to exist just beyond human perception. He felt that the physical body was simply vehicle that the conscious self could leave at any time with the right atmosphere and practice. But Robert Monroe didn't stop at writing books about his out-of- body experiences. He wanted to understand them, to repeat them, to teach them, and maybe even to be able to scientifically prove them. So in the early 1970s, he opened research center in the foothills of Virginia. He called it the Monroe Institute. To the outside world, it looked like retreat for meditation and self-discovery. But inside, it was laboratory for consciousness. Here, Monroe and his team developed something called hemisync, short for hemispheric synchronization. The idea was that by playing slightly different tones in each ear, the brain would lock on to the frequency difference. And you probably know this better today as the more modern term which is binaural beats or binaural beat. And Monroe believed that this hemisync technology could synchronize the left and right hemispheres of the brain opening the door to altered states of consciousness. Participants who took part in these studies described the same sensations that Monroe had. vibrations, roaring sounds, and the sensation of slipping free from the body. They reported lucid dreams, visions, and even journeys beyond time and space. And the strange part is that these states were repeatable, right? Like normal scientific study, they have to be repeatable. So with the tapes, anyone could learn to tune the brain to new frequency like radio switching stations. And this is when it seems the United States government became very interested in what Robert Monroe was doing. If sound alone could train the mind to leave the body, what else could it do? And more importantly, how could it be used? And that's when Monroe's hemisync tapes landed on someone's desk in the government. And to the CIA, this wasn't new age mysticism. It was potential tool. If altered states could be trained with sound, then maybe soldiers could learn to gather intelligence from across the world without ever leaving locked room. So to understand why the US government took Robert Monroe's ideas so seriously, we have to step back to the Cold War, which began in the late 1940s after World War II when the alliance between America and the Soviet Union collapsed into suspicion and rivalry. The two nations never actually declared war on each other. But they competed on every front, military, economic, technological, even cultural. It was battle to prove which country and which system of government would dominate the future. The cold war was defined by fear. Fear of nuclear annihilation, of infiltration, and of falling behind. So when the Soviets launched Sputnik in 1957, which was the first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth, it sent shock waves through the United States because it had caught us off guard. America had thought that they were ahead of the Soviet Union in science and technology. But now new fear was unlocked. If the Russians could put metal sphere into space, if they had the tech to launch satellite, there was very real threat that they could also launch nuclear weapons. In response, Washington poured billions of dollars into science, math, and education in desperate scramble to catch up. And the anxiety and fear led to the National Defense Education Act of 1958. This would be the moment that the United States government stepped into public classrooms in way it had never done before. This act pumped massive federal money into schools, which was something rare at the time since education had previously been considered state and local responsibility. Almost overnight, the federal government started pouring money into math and science education, building out foreign language programs, especially in Russian, and creating the first largecale student loan system to push more young people into universities, training them in physics, engineering, and other defense related sciences. The government knew it was staring down long, bitter rivalry with the Soviet Union, and they knew they needed citizens who could serve on every front of that war. Where better to begin than the classroom, where child's mind could be molded, reshaped, and directed toward whatever purpose the state required. Raise them on math and science, and you produce engineers, scientists, inventors. steer them into foreign languages and critical thinking. And you've built the next generation of intelligence agents. The classroom became quiet factory, not just for learning, but for manufacturing the minds of the Cold War. But these kids were not just being trained and shaped. They were being watched and monitored. The National Defense Education Act ushered in the rise of standardized testing along with new wave of school guidance counselors and psychologists. On the surface, they were there to help, but their real role was to sift through young minds like files in cabinet, probing for talent, for weakness, for patterns that the government could use. Every test, every question, every observation was another data point in system designed to decide who you were and what you would become. Before the National Defense Education Act, the federal government had very limited role in local education. But afterwards, they had direct hand in what was taught, how it was taught, how talent was identified, and who got advanced opportunities. This is because there were strings attached to the funding that these schools were receiving. There were certain guidelines that the schools had to follow. Some of the guidelines were clear. Schools were required to introduce standardized testing to single out students with potential in science, math, engineering, and foreign languages. This sparked the widespread use of IQ tests, aptitude exams, and vocational profiling. Schools that accepted federal funding were required to keep detailed records of student performance and program results. And much of that data was sent back to state and federal agencies, turning children's abilities and intelligence into entries in national tracking system. This all sounds kind of crazy. It all sounds little dystopian, but you can look it up. It's very true. Everything I'm saying is true. So, by 1972, the push to sort and categorize children in the classroom took another official step forward. That year, the commissioner of education, Sydney Marland, Jr., delivered report to Congress on what he called gifted and talented children. It became known as the Marland Report. For the first time, giftedness was given formal federal definition. No longer just about high IQ. It now included creativity, leadership, special academic ability, even talent in the arts. And the message was clear. Schools should not only teach, they should sift and sort. They should identify, label, and pull out the exceptional children for special attention. On paper, the goal was to nurture bright young minds, but in practice, it meant more testing, more profiling, more files sent upward to Washington. The Marland report laid the groundwork for the gifted and talented programs that would spread throughout the 1970s and 80s. These programs would become secret classrooms where the best and brightest were quietly and systematically separated from their peers. The Marland report stated, quote, "Gifted and talented children are those identified by professionally qualified persons who by virtue of outstanding abilities are capable of high performance." End quote. So in other words, the government wanted experts to identify children whose minds and abilities set them apart from everyone else. Additionally, the report stated, quote, "These are children who require differentiated educational programs and/or services beyond those normally provided by the regular school program in order to realize their contribution to self and society." End quote. translation. These children were too valuable to be left in an ordinary classroom. They needed to be pulled out, separated, and trained differently because they might contribute something bigger to society, aka the government, aka the Department of Defense. This was something that the United States government didn't want to risk leaving undiscovered. But then, as it does, the political climate in the United States shifted. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Americans largely accepted the government's growing role in education. Aka, they trusted their government. There was pretty high trust in government throughout, you know, the 40s, the '50s, going into the 60s, and then we know that pretty much ended. But Sputnik had created sense of urgency and cold war paranoia made federal testing and recordkeeping seem like necessary sacrifice. But by the early 1970s, the tide was turning. The Vietnam War had eroded trust in Washington. The Pentagon papers revealed that the government had lied to the public about the war's progress. Then Watergate exploded, showing that even the president was willing to spy, deceive, and cover up. growing number of Americans began to wonder if leaders were willing to abuse their power at the highest level, what else were they doing, and how far did it go? In the middle of this political storm, parents started to look at schools differently. They started to see the endless tests and the psychological profiling, the permanent student files that didn't just contain information about grades, but expanded to cover IQ scores, psychological evaluations, aptitude and vocational profiles, teacher notes about student's personality, social behavior observations from school counselors. It goes on and on. the things that were being kept in these records that the schools were sending to the government. It was it was pretty extensive and stories began to surface that colleges were keeping files on students political activity, especially those involved in Vietnam War protests. High schools were recording behavioral problems and even family issues in permanent records. And federal agencies were requesting access to those files for everything from military draft purposes to law enforcement investigations. And that growing suspicion, that growing lack of trust in our government, led to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, otherwise known as FURPA. In 1974, Senator James Buckley of New York introduced FURPA to restore trust and give families some control and peace of mind. And under FURPA, parents would have full access to their children's educational records along with the ability to request corrections and the right to limit who could see those records. Additionally, schools could no longer freely share student data with government agencies or with anyone else without written consent from the parent. Now, you may think I'm being alarmist or unfair. You may think that the government just wanted to make sure the citizens of their country were the strongest and most intelligent that they could be. After all, that would serve the greater good. How many times have we been told that things we don't like or bad things that happen to us are to serve the greater good? But that's story for another day. You may also think that I'm reaching and that the federal government's involvement in education had nothing to do with their desire to recruit and train America's children from young age. And in response to that, would like to introduce you to the CIA access to educational records memo dated February 28th, 1974, smack dab in the middle of the debates that would lead to the passage of FURPA in November of 1974, that same year. And this timing is crucial because it shows that the CIA was directly aware of and reacting to Furpa as it was being written. So this memo literally says, quote, "The law goes into effect Tuesday, November 19th, 1974. They knew about it. They knew when it was going into effect. They knew everything that Furpa was going to do." The memo was written by George Kerry, who at that time was the CIA's legislative council, meaning he was the liaison between the CIA and Congress. Carrie was addressing and directly speaking to the director of the CIA and he was proposing amendments to these education acts of 1974 which included what became furpa. The CIA was specifically worried that restrictions on access to education records would interfere with its ability to evaluate and recruit candidates. So in this memo, the CIA requested continued access to certain student records and they justified this as necessary. so they could evaluate potential recruits and monitor personnel security. This memo also acknowledged the growing public and congressional unease about government overreach and the privacy of students. It cited recent legislation and investigations that made secret access to educational records politically sensitive and it recognized that public exposure of the CIA using school records would cause major backlash. This memo not only confirms that before Furpa, federal intelligence agencies were using schools as data source, but it also shows the CIA actively working to preserve this pipeline. It shows evidence of the government's deep involvement in monitoring students under the guise of national security. We're going to go over the timeline of everything in minute to show what believe to be clear example of cause and effect. But first, want to talk about the gifted and talented report which was done in March of 1974, just month after that CIA memo and months before furo would formally go into effect. So this report was commissioned by something called the office for gifted and talented which at that time was housed within the US office of education which would go on to become the US department of education that we know today. So, it is stated in this report that their purpose was to guide the private sector, especially foundations, in funding priorities for gifted and talented education. By 1974, the pressure to formalize gifted education had reached Washington. federal report that spring argued for central clearing house, national office that could coordinate programs, collect data, and guide private foundations in funding the best and the brightest. It warned against relying only on IQ tests, pushing instead for broader ways of identifying talent from creativity to leadership. And the message was clear. Gifted children were national resource too important to be left to chance. And later that same year, the government responded. The US Office of Education officially created the Office of the Gifted and Talented, federal unit with one mission to sift out exceptional children and to shape their futures. Now, you might ask, how was the report commissioned by the Office for the Gifted and Talented when that office was not created until after the report went out? Well, it's complicated, and there are lot of gray areas, as there always are. The 1974 report was technically commissioned by the Office for the Gifted and Talented. But here's the strange part. At that point, the office didn't officially exist. Not yet. It was more like shadow unit inside the office of education already operating under the name already shaping policy before Washington ever admitted it had been created. And later that year, the office was formally established on paper. So in other words, the machinery to sift out the gifted was already running before it even had name plate on the door. So let's look at this timeline because it's important. From 1958 and into the 1970s, the National Defense Education Act gave the government, the United States government, unprecedented access to student testing, aptitude records, and psychological profiles. In 1974, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Furpa, pulled that access back. Suddenly, schools could no longer just hand over student records to federal agencies. Months before Furpa was officially enacted, the CIA was scrambling to state their case to Congress that they should still have access to these records and that Furpa was really putting cramp in their style. The month after that memo went out, some random office inside the US Office of Education began stressing the importance to create central office that would coordinate resources, services, and support for America's most priceless resource, its gifted youth. Okay, so the government has access to student records and then suddenly because of FURPA, they're not going to anymore. The CIA is like, we want access to this still." Then suddenly an office in the US Department of Education is like, "Hey, we should have central area where we can like find gifted and talented students and keep their records here with us." So, do you see what's happening? Do you see? I'm going to jump forward bit. So, bear with me because promise will tie this all back together. In 1988, the Jacob Javitz Gifted and Talented Students Education Act was first passed by Congress as part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. And this act was the first dedicated federal funding stream for gifted and talented education. It also created the National Research Center on the gifted and talented and it established permanent nationwide program for these kinds of kids. In short, the Javitz Act gave gifted and talented education legal anchor and steady funding, but it built on 15 plus years of prior experimentation in schools. Because by the time Congress passed the Javitz Act in 1988, gifted classrooms weren't new thing. For decades, schools had been quietly pulling children out of their classrooms, testing them, and running experimental programs under different names. They weren't called the gifted and talented program, things like that. They were just using different names for these programs. By the late 1970s, almost every state had some form of gifted programming. And Congress appropriated small annual amounts for gifted education. For instance, around 2.5 million in 1975. The Javitz Act didn't create the system. It simply gave official sanction to something that had already been happening in classrooms across the country, although on smaller and obviously quieter scale. Basically, these early nonofficial programs were test runs for what was to come. These early classes were called pull out enrichment programs where chosen students would be removed from their regular classes for few hours week. The students who participated in these pullout courses described them as feeling different, less structured, more experimental than their traditional lessons. and they recall doing activities like logic puzzles and brain teasers which were sometimes very advanced for their age at the time along with creative writing and divergent thinking tasks. So one example given was the student being asked to list 50 uses for brick. Right? Here's brick. What can you do with this brick? Well, you can build something with it or you could hit someone over the head with it. Or you could like put it and make it doors stop. See, I'm just I'm done. got three and then I'm done. Could you grind it down and use it for something? don't know. I'm not that smart or gifted and talented. So, some of these programs also included foreign language immersion, especially Russian and German, which reflected the Cold War concerns of the time. Other students remember being taught Morse code, ciphers, and logic games tied to cryptography. There's also something called creativity labs, which were especially popular in the 1970s. And during these sessions, children would sit in darkened rooms and take part in different activities. They would listen to soundsscapes or music and then be asked to report visions or stories they were seeing in their heads as they listened. The students would also be asked to draw abstract ideas, right? So like fear or time, something abstract that that you can't necessarily draw, but the instructor would ask the student think about fear, the idea of fear, and draw what you think that looks like. The children would work with clay, sand, or mirrors to stretch perception. And let me explain what mean by that. The kids would be given lump of clay and then they would be asked to shape and reshape the clay rapidly while an instructor gave them prompts. And this was intended to train the kids to shift perspective quickly. Tables or trays of sand would be used for pattern making or drawing symbols. So student might be asked to draw sound or show the instructor these abstract ideas like what fear looked like in the sand. Mirrors were also sometimes used in these labs. and the kids would be told to draw or write while only looking in the mirror, which forced their brains to adapt. Other children were asked to stare at their own reflection while describing what they saw changing over time. And this is actually very disturbing because what these kids, these very small kids sometimes were being asked to do is called the mirror staring effect. And it combines psychology, perception, science, and touch of the uncanny. So when you stare at your own reflection for several minutes under steady or dim lighting, your brain begins to misinterpret visual input. Your own face can appear to morph, distort, or change. And people often report seeing their own features shift into someone else's, or their faces stretching, shrinking, or melting. Sometimes they even report seeing superimposed image of an animal, demon, or monster, settling over their own mirrored image. Psychologists call this the strange face illusion, which happens because your brain's facial recognition system gets tired and it fills in the gaps with projections from the subconscious, and it can cause very strong sense of disassociation, like the face in the mirror is no longer you. The instructors called it creativity exercise, but in reality, this technique is guided disassociation, way of destabilizing normal perception and drawing out altered states of consciousness. And don't think need to tell you that for child whose brain is still developing, it could feel like very surreal or even terrifying experience to potentially see their faces melting or the face of monster looking back at them or even the idea that they had become someone else. tell you all of this to show you something, right? Let's go back to the timeline. In 1974, Furpa told schools they could no longer provide student records to federal agencies. We know the CIA was not happy about this. And that same year, the Office for Gifted and Talented was created. Then throughout the late 1970s and into the 1980s, gifted and talented programs began to expand throughout schools nationwide, pulling select students out of their classes and having them participate in special testing. That seems bit unorthodox, right? Having them stare in mirrors and see what their subconscious would reveal. So the theory goes if the feds lost the big net of student data due to FURPA, they created the Office of Gifted and Talented as more targeted way to keep tabs on children with unusual potential. Before Furpa, the government had file on every child. But after Furpa, that broad access was cut off. However, suddenly new program appears identifying subset of children for special attention. From the outside, it almost looks like Furpa closed one door. So the government opened another with these gifted and talented programs. Right? Are you keeping up with me here? So that brings us back to Robert Monroe and the CIA's interest in his gateway technique. We talked about how in the 1970s Monroe and his team developed hemisync using binaural beats to synchronize brain hemispheres. This became the core tool of the gateway process. And the idea was that by tuning the brain like radio, you could push human consciousness into altered states while the body stayed deeply relaxed. The science behind it is called hemispheric synchronization or hemisync. So different tones fed into each ear trick the brain into following along at the difference frequency. This would shift brain waves into patterns linked to meditation, trance, and even dream states. The Monroe Institute claimed this allowed ordinary people to reach these states quickly and reliably without years of spiritual training. The belief was that once in these states, the mind could do extraordinary things. Leave the body, explore other dimensions, see distant places, even step outside of time. So, we're going to get little scientific for minute. The brain's electrical activity is measured in hertz, unit that means cycles per second, and it's used to measure frequency. So if something vibrates, pulses or repeats every second, that is one hertz. When we talk about the brain in hertz, we're talking about how many times its electrical rhythms pulse every second. Slow waves, slow brain waves called delta, are linked to deep sleep. little faster, theta brain waves show up in dreams and meditation. Alpha waves are even quicker, tied to calm, focus, and creativity. Then come the beta waves, the busy brain states of problem solving or stress. and gamma waves, the lightning fast sparks of insight. Right at the edge between theta and alpha sits 8 hertz, which Robert Monroe was very specifically focused on because he believed that 8 hertz was the gateway frequency. Now surrounding the earth is an invisible heartbeat, faint electromagnetic thrum that pulses about eight times every second. Scientists call it the Schuman resonance born from lightning strikes echoing through the cavity between the ground and the upper atmosphere. To most of us, it's like it's not even there. We can't hear it. We can't feel it. But it is always there. constant planetary rhythm that some believe the human brain is naturally tuned to. At around 7.83 83 hertz. It sits in the same range as our dreamlike and meditative states as if the earth itself is whispering on the same frequency as the human mind. Robert Monroe and many others believed that 8 hertz was the gateway frequency because that frequency is the perfect sweet spot where the mind is calm and clear but not asleep. The body is deeply relaxed and consciousness can resonate with earth's natural frequency. This is why the gateway technique used by neural beats designed to bring the brain down into the 8 herz range. Monroe believed that this overlap opened the door to altered states of consciousness. But in essence, it works this way. If we put 100 audio signal, which you can hear, and put it in one ear and put 108 hertz signal in the other ear, the differential between those two would be an 8 herz signal. When we used that and had person listen to it, the brain would synthesize that 8 herz frequency, they wouldn't the brain wouldn't hear it incidentally, but the electrical signals in the brain synthesize that 8 herz differential. slight variation of it is part of the human resonance is the one that we as humans grew up with through millions of years and it will create form of physical relaxation. Because of that you are partially freed of the restrictions that are upon you during this normal wakefulness here and as result you are freed your mind is freed to perceive in ways it is has not perceived before and that's what that's where lot of meditation takes place. Now there's not only scientific support for this but also potential historical connection. Long before science discovered the Schuman resonance humans had already been tuning into it. Siberian shamans would drum at steady four to seven beats per second, often on large frame drums, and they did this without the intention of entering trance, but they did enter trance. And then they felt that they left their body and traveled to the spirit world. Anthropologists have documented shamans reporting roaring vibration and the sensation of flying out of their bodies when they're in this four to seven hertz which is strikingly similar to what Robert Monroe later called the vibrational state. Tibetan monks chant deep resonant mantras in extended low frequencies and when the groups chant in unison the harmonic vibrations fall into the 7 to9 hertz range. Practitioners describe it as merging their consciousness with the universe. tuning themselves into the cosmic order. And modern studies with EEGs show that their brains do in fact shift into theta alpha rhythms during chanting. In traditional ceremonies, Navajo medicine men used drums and rattles to produce steady transinducing beats, and participants described visions, connection with ancestors, and journeys guided by spirits. The rhythm of these drums and rattles again hovers around the 4 to eight beats per second sweet spot. These people didn't use instruments to measure hertz, but their rituals locked their brains into the earth's own heartbeat. The same resonance we now know hums at 7.83 cycles per second. They thought they were calling spirits. And in way, maybe they were the spirit of the planet itself. Now, I'm going to walk you through typical gateway session as quickly as can while still trying to keep all the important relevant information. The gateway process was designed to take an ordinary person from normal waking state into series of altered states where in theory consciousness could separate from the body and move beyond time and space. It worked in steps. First, guided breathing and visualization calmed the body while tones called binaural beats nudged the brain into synchrony, state Monroe called hemispheric synchronization. This created what he described as mind awake, body asleep. From there, participants could be guided into progressively deeper levels. Monroe called them focus levels. Focus level 12 is when participant achieves sense of perception beyond the five senses along with heightened intuition and an altered sense of space. Focus level 15 is referred to as no time, when the participant experiences sense of timelessness. And Monroe claimed that this state could be used to explore the past and the future. Monroe himself reported entering the state more than once. And he said, quote, passed through layers of reality, each more strange than the last. Some were filled with light and beauty, others with grotesque shapes that seemed to watch me. was traveler in place where human words have no meaning." End quote. In fact, Monroe claims to have traveled through different times, both past and future. He wrote about slipping into earlier eras and observing scenes that felt like recordings of human history. He also claimed to have occasionally glimpsed possible futures of humanity. In one of his books, Far Journeys, Monroe described visions of distant future where humans had evolved into non-physical beings existing as pure consciousness and energy. Robert Monroe argued that time is an illusion of physical life. It's layered, not linear. And during out-of- body experiences, you can tune in to other layers. He said, quote, learned that the past and the future are not lost to us. They exist side by side with the present and can be visited. stepped into another century as easily as stepping into another room. End quote. Monroe went on to say in his final book, The Ultimate Journey, our physical bodies trap us in time track, but consciousness is free to move across it. Once outside the body, you discover there is no past, no future, only patterns waiting to be experienced. End quote. Although Monroe spoke often about his visits to the past and future, he was very careful to explain that this wasn't necessarily time travel in the way we imagine it. He wasn't stepping into machine and being transported to the streets of Rome. In these times, he felt himself present and observing, but he did not seem to be visible to the people in that other time or place. He could see, he could sense, he could move, but it felt more like watching from behind glass wall, and people in these other time periods did not interact with him. However, Monroe mentioned few exceptions, stating that in some cases, animals or young children seemed to notice him, as if they sensed his presence without actually seeing him. He wrote, quote, walked through their world unseen. The people went about their lives unaware that another pair of eyes was upon them. At times, child would pause, frown, or glance my way, but quickly return to play. To them, was no more than whisper of wind." End quote. Focus level 21 is the boundary between ordinary reality and other dimensions, and Monroe called it the edge. It's been described as launch point for contact with other intelligences. Robert Monroe talked about encounters with non-physical beings that he called helpers or guides. These beings would appear in many forms, sometimes humanoid, sometimes abstract, or just presence he could sense. He wrote, quote, there were intelligences that communicated without words that felt both alien and familiar. They seemed to be waiting as if they had always been there just beyond the veil of our perception. end quote. Monroe did not believe these guides were there just for him. He felt they were there for anyone who reached these levels of consciousness and their role was to teach, reassure, and orient him as he navigated through altered states. Sometimes they would reassure him when he became afraid. Other times they would answer his questions or show him scenes like traveler being shown exhibits in museum. Fireside rituals from ancient tribes. Futures where cities glittered with unfamiliar technology. Vast dreamlike territories where the dead lived out their earthly beliefs. Each world molded by faith or fear. Sometimes he was shown whole other lives or fragments of himself playing out in different times and places. He said he wasn't there to change anything. He was there to see, to learn, and to understand that consciousness is larger than one lifetime, larger than one world. And the final focus level or stage is called the absolute. And it is supposedly direct encounter with universal consciousness where personal identity dissolves. In this state, Monroe claimed to sense what he called the source, the ultimate creative intelligence behind all of reality. He didn't refer to the source as God, although he acknowledged that it matched what many people would mean when they were using that word. For Monroe, the source was less personality and more vast loving presence, the origin and destination of consciousness. He described interactions with the source as overwhelming, melting into light, feeling merged with infinite awareness, direct transmission of love and knowledge rather than spoken conversation. Monroe described this experience as losing individuality, dissolving into something greater and returning completely changed. So, Robert Monroe wrote his final book, The Ultimate Journey, in 1994. And the major theme of that book was Monroe, the author, confronting his own fear of death as he got older and what he believed was the final frontier of consciousness. Throughout his own personal life and spiritual journeys, Monroe claimed he had lost all fear of dying. And that through countless experiences at the highest focus levels, he'd come to see death not as an end, but as transition into new levels of existence, graduation to higher awareness. Monroe felt that consciousness survives the physical body's death, and that each of us is connected to larger network of selves that he called the eye there. So in his final book, Robert Monroe stopped writing about out-of- body adventures like cosmic tourist and instead began charting the path that waits for all of us. The ultimate journey was his message from the other side of fear. That death is not the end, but doorway into something vast and that each of us is only fragment of greater self spread across time and space. For Monroe, the last and greatest trip was learning how to die. And this was trip he embarked on the following year in 1995. This is the first step along your path to gateway. gateway beyond which is discovery. Your own discovery of reality, of truth, of who and what you are. Robert Monroe's story reads like modern myth. broadcast executive who, while experimenting with sound, began slipping out of his body and cataloging what he found. He wrote it down. He built an institute and he turned audio experiments into repeatable training system. That repeatability is what changed everything. By the 1970s, US intelligence had already been warned through spies, open- source science, and rumor that the Soviet Union and other states were funding parasychology. The Soviet Union began studying ESP and psychokinesis in the 1920s, but after World War II, they began to pour more funding into this research. By the 60s and 70s, accelerated by the Cold War, intelligence reported that the Soviets were investing millions into psychic research, and it came to light that scientists have been quietly collecting reports of citizens with unusual abilities. One of these citizens was Nina Kuliga, who popped up on her government's radar during hospitalization for stress related health problems. During her hospital stay, doctors witnessed Kuliga do things they couldn't explain, such as move small items on her bedside table without touching them. She could feel colors with her hands, like she had knitting yarn next to her bed in basket, and she could touch the yarn and tell you which color the yarn was without even looking just through her hands. So, over the next 20 years, Nenah was studied by over 40 scientists, and she was filmed doing various tasks that were unbelievable. These films of her demonstrating PK were made in Russian hotel room and smuggled out of the country by American researchers. She gets the object moving with gestures of her hands or by fixating the object with nothing more than her eyes. Kagana has been studied intensively for more than 10 years by Professor Sergeyf of Lennengrad University who has reported on her work. According to those present at these demonstrations, it sometimes takes Mrs. Kagana 2 to four hours to rev up her supernormal powers. Her pulse races to 250 beats minute. She loses up to 3 lb after demonstration of psychokinesis. Edward Nomoff is Soviet researcher sitting to the left of Nel Kaga. He reports she was actually much sicker than she looks in the film. The strain on her heart was so great we had to stop the camera several times. Koolagina was also reportedly able to separate egg whites from yolks and alter or stop the beating of frog's heart during laboratory test along with being able to affect the cardiac or physiological functions of other animals. And know we're used to the Russians doing some wild experiments and studies throughout history. You know, the fact that they've been studying ESP and psychokinesis and stuff like that since the 1920s does not surprise me at all. But it wasn't just them, right? It wasn't just them. Declassified German files showed the Stazzi, the secret police, had parasychology unit in the 70s and 80s that studied remote viewing, clairvoyance, and dowsing, which if you didn't know is psychic ability that's used to be able to locate things underground. So like underground military sites in in the terms of like defense. By the 1980s, United States intelligence had also noted China's interest in what they called exceptional functions of the human body or EFHB. During the late 70s and early 80s, China experienced wave of Chiang fever. And this meant that breath and energy work and meditation had moved from being folk practice to national craze drawing in millions of practitioners and leading to mass gatherings of thousands who would practice together. Now the goal was to cultivate and directqi which they believed was life energy in order to alter the mind body state. Amid this craze, some people began demonstrating these extraordinary functions of the human body, such as telepathy, psychokinesis, clairvoyance, and even paranormal healing. Children, it seemed, were especially prone to showcasing these abilities, specifically being able to read things inside sealed envelopes. They could identify hidden objects. They could move small objects with their minds. According to CIA document, quote, "From 1979 to 1982, research into ESP and PK among children swept through China. Many hundreds of children with EFHB were found throughout the nation. Groups to investigate this phenomena were formed in almost all educational and research centers in large cities and even in some elementary and secondary schools." End quote. So some of these studies involving children were done with defense or government related funding in Beijing, meaning that they weren't just fringe experiments, but actually overseen and sponsored by official state institutions like the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Science and Technology Association, led by Dr. Chan Shusen in 1987, who was major defense scientist, sometimes called the father of Chinese rocketry. At the very same moment Americans were slipping on headphones and following Monroe's tapes into outofbody journeys, millions of Chinese citizens were gathering in parks to practice Chiang, breathing, visualization, and tuning their minds to the universe's energy. In both countries, the belief was the same. The human mind could change its frequency like radio and suddenly pick up signals from beyond ordinary reality. And in both countries, the state was watching closely, wondering how these supposed hidden powers might be used. In that climate, Monroe's methods were suddenly valuable intelligence, civilian recipe for induced altered states that might, in skilled hands, be turned into method for gathering information. The CIA and Army funded tests worked with contractors and research labs such as SRRI and quietly commissioned reports to assess one uncomfortable question. If consciousness can be trained to perceive beyond ordinary limits, can it be used in the field? Can it be used by the government? The answer would take years to sort out and would produce some of the strangest documents in America's intelligence history. On June 9th, 1983, the CIA received classified army document titled Analysis and Assessment of the Gateway Process, report that tried to explain how Robert Monroe's techniques might actually let human consciousness escape the limits of space and time. The CIA was especially interested in how this could be used for intelligence gathering, remote viewing, and strategic advantage. This is very lengthy, in-depth memo, and highly suggest that everyone give it read because while it's not dense or hard to understand, there's just ton of information in there. will do my best to condense it and explain the important points for the context of this video. So, the memo framed the human brain not as an organ, but as frequency transducer, basically biological radio, and its rhythms, measured in hertz, could be adjusted by external input to line up with deeper structures of reality. In this case, the memo was referring specifically to the binaural beats used in Robert Monroe's Hemisync. The idea was once the hemispheres of the brain are synchronized, they stop interfering with each other and allow the mind to achieve coherent signal strong enough to interact with the universe at large. The report also claimed that consciousness itself is hologram of energy embedded into larger universal hologram called the absolute, which as we know was the term Robert Monroe used in his gateway program. The memo states, quote, "The absolute is the primary matrix within which all energy systems move and have their being. It is infinity beyond time, space, and the source of all that is." End quote. The CIA report heavily referenced the work of physicist David Bow and neuroysiologist Carl Pabram who both advanced the holographic model of reality. Now I'm no scientist and I'm sure the majority of you are not as well. So let's try to break this down into the simplest of terms. Think of the holographic model of reality like hologram on credit card. You can see the whole image even if you cut the card in half. In the holographic view, the universe is built more like pattern of waves or information than like tiny billiard ball objects. So, every little piece contains information about the whole. David Bow and Carl Pabram used this idea as metaphor. The world we experience is three-dimensional projection of deeper, more fundamental patterns. So, instead of reality being room full of solid things, it's more like movie projected from an underlying coded pattern. And our brains are tuned instruments that decode parts of that pattern into the story we call reality, the here and the now. Now, the CIA document argues that the brain is like holographic receiver interpreting the universe's vast frequency field into the reality we perceive. Applying this to reality, the universe might not be solid fixed structure, but projection of underlying energy patterns. Human consciousness then is not locked in the brain. It's part of this universal hologram. and can potentially access any part of it. The CIA document said that altered states of consciousness can shift our brain's tuning, letting us tap into parts of the hologram beyond ordinary perception. And this could explain certain phenomena like remote viewing, precognition, and out-of- body experiences. So instead of creating reality, your brain is more like radio that's normally tuned into one station, which is our everyday reality. But with certain techniques, you can retune the dial and pick up other stations, aka hidden layers of reality. Now, the question would be, why are we stuck on this one channel, this channel of everyday reality? And the theory behind that is our brains have evolved to keep us alive, not to explore cosmic mysteries. Most people go through life thinking what they see, hear, and touch is all there is. The Gateway report suggests that it's not true. It says our brains are like radios built with the ability to pick up thousands of channels of reality. But here's the catch. Almost everyone is stuck on this just one channel. The everyday channel, the one that tells you the grass is green, the sky is blue, and time marches forward in neat little minutes and hours. Why? Because it's safe. It's stable. It keeps us from falling apart. mean, imagine trying to drive car, raise child, or cook dinner while your mind keeps slipping into the future, or floating out of your body, or picking up someone else's thoughts from across the world. You couldn't survive like that. So, nature locked us into the most practical frequency, the one that keeps us alive. The universe is so full of information, past, present, future, and if our brains didn't filter it, we'd be overwhelmed. But according to the CIA's gateway analysis, those other channels never went away. They're still out there buzzing and whispering just beyond the edge of our perception. With the right training or the right push, the knob on your mental radio can turn and suddenly the world you thought was solid begins to flicker. Time bends. Space dissolves. You realize you're part of something much bigger. vast hologram where every moment, past and future, is happening all at once. And here's the unsettling part. The CIA believed it wasn't just theory. They believed people could learn to do it, to step outside the ordinary channel and tune into something far stranger. The CIA memo even suggested that time and space are only constructs of perception and that trained consciousness can move beyond them. The document states, quote, "The individual perceives that he has escaped the boundaries of time and space. The gateway process is designed to bring the left and right hemispheres of the brain into state of coherence, permitting the mind to transcend the physical world. End quote. Basically, time is just trick of how we experience the hologram projection. But everything that has happened or will happen already exists. By shifting your consciousness, you could in theory visit the past or future the same way you'd flip through channels on TV. So, what are the implications of this? If the universe is holographic, then every human being already contains access to the entire cosmos within their consciousness and death in this framework is not an end. It's reintegration into the broader hologram. This is where the document edges into the spiritual while still stamped CIA. Human consciousness may be immortal, part of the infinite holographic perception. Like said, there's lot of other stuff in the document. It's very interesting and compelling and the author is talking about all of this and backing it up with scientific support. For instance, the document cites the work of its hawk Bentov who imagined the entire universe shaped like an egg. At the end of the egg is white hole. This is the point where energy bursts outward into the universe. At the other end is black hole where energy collapses back inward. And between these two points, matter and energy flow in cosmic circuit. Energy starts in the white hole, which acts like source or fountain, ejecting raw matter and energy. The stream spreads out, creating galaxies, stars, and planets. And over lot of time, the stream bends back on itself, curving around the egg shape. Now eventually the energy and matter are drawn back towards the black hole where they collapse, reabsorb and return to the source which Bentov also called the absolute the infinite timeless background of existence. From there the cycle can begin again the universe in constant state of inhaling and exhaling energy. Bentov tied this cosmic flow to information storage. He felt that as energy moves through the cosmic egg, it creates interference patterns like ripples overlapping water. And those patterns form universal hologram recording every event that happens anywhere across time. This is all described in great detail in the CIA document. The document concludes, quote, there is sound rational basis in terms of physical science parameters for considering Gateway to be plausible in terms of its essential objectives. Intuitional insights of not only personal but of practical and professional nature would seem to be within bounds of reasonable expectations. However, phased approach for entering the gateway experience in an accelerated mode would seem to be required if the time needed to reach advanced states of altered consciousness is to be brought within more manageable limits from the standpoint of establishing an organizationwide exploitation of gateways potential. End quote. The person writing this memo is like, hey, there's like really strong scientific proof that this is possible. However, if we want to exploit the gateway method on like larger scale and get people into these enhanced and like altered states of consciousness faster, we need to figure out like way to do that without it taking all this time that Robert Monroe says it takes, right? Because Robert Monroe says you got to go through all these phases, all these steps, and then finally you're going to reach the absolute. And the CIA is like, we got to speed that up. We don't have time for people to be like going on spiritual journey. We need them to use these abilities to help us. The CIA memo also lays out training recipe for taking someone from relaxed focus all the way to controlled out-of- body exploration and even attempts to read different slices of time. So, first you use hemisync tones and breath work to get the brain hemispheres working together and the body deeply relaxed. Then you add sleeplike REM frequencies and hypnotic self- suggestions so person can reliably enter and remember trance or out-of- body state at will. After practicing this repeatedly, trainees learn to steer their out-of- body awareness then push into deeper states labeled no time and beyond spaceime. The memo even proposes coordinated teams. Three viewers tuned to the same target from the present, the immediate past, and the immediate future whose reports can be compared to overcome distortion. Along the way, it recommends inner work to clear psychological blocks, group protection techniques against unwanted presences, and intellectual preparation for meeting non-physical intelligences. This is in the CIA memo. The last sentence of the memo reads, quote, "If these experiments are carried through, it is to be hoped that we will truly find gateway to Gateway and to the realm of practical application for the whole system of techniques which comprise it." End quote. So Washington poured attention into psychic research because if it worked, it would be the ultimate intelligence tool. human eyeball and ear that could peer anywhere, any time without satellites, spies, or boots on the ground. The promise was irresistible. Free, deniable access to secrets. They could use remote viewing to get information about enemy bases, installations, weapons, hostages, or covert activities without deploying agents. If consciousness could access future layers of the hologram, they could predict crises, coups, or military moves earlier than their rivals. They could even explore whether target minds could be influenced or whether psychic means could reveal hidden intentions, loyalties, or vulnerabilities. Basically, brainwashing and mind readading. The CIA memo doesn't name test subjects, but it absolutely proposes structured experimental regimen designed for military/intelligence trainees. It wasn't aimed at random volunteers either. It was aimed at creating trained operators who could enter outofbody states on command, gather data, and report back. So, let's talk about the Stargate program, which was the umbrella name given to series of classified US military and intelligence programs studying remote viewing and psychic phenomena. These programs ran from the early 1970s until 1995 and involved the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the US Army, and contractors like the Stanford Research Institute, otherwise known as SRRI, and Science Applications International Corporation. So, early experiments were done at civilian research centers like SRRI, and to the public, they looked like innocent university research projects, but behind the scenes, the work was classified. Funding came from government appropriations for defense and intelligence, aka taxpayer dollars, but was then funneled into classified accounts known as the black budget. By the late 1980s, the CIA's official position was that remote viewing was real enough to study seriously. They cited specific evidence for remote viewing, and they acknowledged that not everyone was capable of doing this. They claimed that most people in tests performed no better than chance. But small percentage of people did consistently score higher, which convinced the CIA that those people had real capability. That is when the CIA shifted their focus from the question of whether remote viewing existed to the question of who could do it and how would they identify and train these people. And that's when the group screenings began. It was talent hunt looking for those who were capable of extraordinary things. The CIA conducted many remote viewing tests with participants who were sometimes pulled from the military, sometimes from the general population. These people would sit in quiet rooms, often with headphones on and minimal distractions, and researchers prepared sealed envelopes or computergenerated randomized coordinates for the participants to identify. In some tests, hypnosis was used to deepen concentration or remove mental noise in order to see if altered states would boost accuracy. And it appears that they did identify some of these people through their tests and trials. In 1979, remote viewer allegedly described new Soviet weapons facility, which was later confirmed by satellite. Remote viewing sessions in the 80s reportedly provided details on the location of kidnapped United States general in Italy. And in 1989, remote viewer Joe McMman Eagle described new class of Soviet submarine before it was officially detected. Is it really possible to see through someone else's eyes or sense through their senses? Actually, we're not sure exactly how it works, but it is possible to report on the position or place that they're located. And how accurate is it? over number of times about 4,000 plus times that I've been tested in in lab under lab conditions, I'm running about 25 to 28% of the time get to target. Four sealed envelopes. Which one will he choose? The dice says number four. The envelope contains the secret location for his part in this remote viewing experiment. Okay. Meanwhile, Joe McGonagal is on his way to specially prepared room monitored by security cameras where he'll be locked away while he attempts to demonstrate his extraordinary ability. He'll never be out of sight of one of our cameras. For the first time for anyone actually involved in the experiment, the sight of the remote viewing is now revealed. Joe's used to all the paraphernalia. He's been tested thousands of times by US government agencies under strict laboratory conditions. Right. Okay. Is everything okay for you? Well, yes, that's fine. Okay. So, it's minute to quart 10. We'll be starting in minute. Accurate timing is important. The person transmitting must be in precisely the right place when Joe starts his remote viewing. Person out there at the sight of just Okay. And you never met him before, have you? No, I've never met him before. This is the only information that Joe gets. need something to concentrate on. Okay. First impression that I'm getting is of what would call an inside corner and there's two two light light colored stripes on either side. Short Taylor is on the north bank of the river Tempames opposite dockside, power station and railway bridge. What I'm doing is I'm essentially it's almost like tasting food. I'm just kind of reaching out there mentally and tasting things. I'm trying to concentrate on him and foresee what it is he's looking at. it's easy to get distracted and get information on lot of other things in the area. want to mix half circles with straight lines. My my sense of it is some kind of raised object perhaps. Starting to look lot like bridge, but don't want to call it bridge. Okay. don't want to call it bridge yet. Looks lot like bridge, but don't know if this is walkway or if this is actually waterway. This could be water as well. think the essential elements are vertical pillars or supports. somehow or another going away perspective passes under this. At this point, it's quite likely that he's stopped looking. That's what we asked him at this moment, sir. Yeah, we'll go with that. Go with number four. He's on his way to the location to see for himself how accurate he's been and to meet Shaw Taylor for the first time. That's quite pleasant to greet Joe. Joe, good to see you. Glad to meet you. Good to see you. feel I've been talking to you for the past half hour or so. Hopefully, you have. The moment of truth. Water. You've got water certainly up here. Now, tell you what is very interesting because was knew know the bridge. Uh-huh. And was very much aware of trains passing over it. Yeah. So, must confess it is quite possible. I'm not trying to stretch it. No. No. kept getting great throughway with some kind of the arches or something at the end. The incredible thing is that he could have described anything in London. churchyard, stadium, park, railway station, almost anything. But it was water and bridge just as Shaw could see it. So, how does all of this tie back to the Department of Education's gifted and talented program? know we got little off track, but once again, trust me, it's all going to come together. So, let's go back to the timeline. In 1958, the National Defense Act gave the United States government open access to the records of American school children, and Washington began pumping massive amounts of federal money into schools, which hadn't really happened before. In 1972, the Marland Report talked about gifted and talented children and urged states to create programs to support these children. Then, 1974 rolled in and lot happened. In February, CIA memo revealed that they were aware new law was passing the following November which would limit government access to student information. And the CIA was not happy about this, openly acknowledging that they used schools for recruitment purposes and that they were fighting to try and maintain access to this information. The following month, March of 1974, the Gifted and Talented report spoke about making the gifted and talented office official in the Department of Education and devoting resources to setting up these programs in public schools across America. From this point on, test programs were set up in schools that sorted some of the children out of their classrooms and put them in separate rooms where they were guided through variety of tasks that seem absolutely strange. In 1983, we have CIA memo created to assess the Monroe Institute's gateway process and its effectiveness in expanding human consciousness beyond physical limitations. This is the part of the timeline we already know, and I'm going to add few points to it. Now, in December of 1988, CIA document titled Mass Screening for Psychoenergetic Talent stated that screening effort had been mounted during the previous two years to discover individuals who showed natural remote viewing ability. And out of 196 individuals, three people showed evidence for this skill. This is obviously showing deliberate effort to test groups of people under controlled conditions with the goal of spotting innate psychic abilities. But the report specifically says, quote, "Traditionally, psychoenergetic experimenters at SRRI International have relied on the remote viewing of relatively small number of talented persons in laboratory experiments. But as the number and nature of experiments and/or applications increases, the necessity for discovering additional talented individuals becomes acute. End quote. That same year, the Jacob Javitz Gifted and Talented Students Education Act was passed by Congress. That means the same year the CIA said they needed to come up with ways to discover additional psychic talent, we also see the first dedicated federal funding stream for gifted and talented education. Both initiatives were about finding hidden talent. Both emerged in the late 80s, midc cold war intelligence experimentation, and both carried the aura of selection, testing, and pulling people aside from the general population. Am saying that the CIA was suggesting that they would turn to schools as way to discover additional talent? I'm not necessarily saying that out loud, but it's also not impossible that an initiative for testing children for these abilities early on would be method that the government would use. Many cultures and researchers alike have claimed that children are more psychically open than adults and that the very things we call telepathy, precognition, or remote perception show up more easily in childhood. The reasons offered are simple. Children's minds are less trained to dismiss strange experiences. Their brains are more plastic and more dreamlike, and they aren't yet burdened by the social filters and skepticism that shut down wild imaginations and impressions. This is why so many experiments and sensational demonstrations in the Cold War era focused on children. The Soviet Union did it, China did it, and we've done it, too. Maybe the CIA documents that discuss psychic experiments with children are still in the vault. After all, if American parents didn't want the government in their children's school records, how would they feel about the government getting into their kids' brains? But we have countless examples of experiments and testing being performed on American children for decades. The Fernald State School in Massachusetts house children who were labeled as feeble-minded. And throughout the 1940s and 50s, researchers from MIT, working with the United States Atomic Energy Commission, created fake science club for the boys who were told they would get special privileges if they joined. What they got instead were piping hot bowls of oatmeal mixed with radioactive iron and calcium tracers so that researchers could study the effects of radioactive isotopes on the human body. Of course, there was no informed consent because who the hell would consent to that? At Willowbrook State School, developmentally disabled children were intentionally infected with hepatitis to study the course of the disease and test vaccines. And this happened from the 1950s all the way into the 1970s. During the 1960s, adolescents at Laurel Children's Center in Maryland were dosed with high levels of psychoactive drugs like LSD and measculine as part of MK Ultra linked studies on behavior. could keep going, but you get the point. So, let's go back to the timeline and add another layer. 1989, when CIA document titled, "An effort to improve remote viewing quality using hypnosis, suggested the CIA was exploring ways to enhance remote viewing performance by combining screening with hypnotic techniques." Quote, "In 1986, SRRI was tasked to explore the use of hypnosis as method for improving remote viewing. The rationale for choosing hypnosis as tool for improving remote viewing was twofold. Hypnosis has been associated with the manifestation of sigh phenomenon since the days of memer. Experimental work in the area has shown that there is consistent improvement in ESP scoring with transinduction condition compared to noinduction condition. End quote. So where is this all going? What's it all leading to? Well, adults who were enrolled in gifted and talented programs decades ago are now questioning if they were unknowingly the target of covert CIA project to identify potential psychic gifts. pattern has emerged in personal stories, missing childhood memories, intense sensory experiences, unusual health or learning profiles, and the sense that they had been quietly watched. Now, dozens of people going on hundreds of people honestly are comparing notes online, the same odd tests, the same strange exercises, similarities that go beyond coincidence. And if you remember gate tag being pulled out for advanced testing, you weren't being rewarded, you were being flagged. And not just for your brain. You ever wonder why some of us always felt different after that? like vivid dreams, hearing tones, feeling watched, memory gaps like your childhood just got scrubbed from you. And why only certain kids got it? Usually the gifted ones, the ones who could see things others ignored. After that, you got labored. Hyper hyperactive, too sensitive, needs medication. And just like that, your truth got buried under diagnosis. Were you in the gifted and talented program as child? Some people called it gate, some people called it GT. There's actually lot of different names depending on where you live in America. But do you remember being selected in elementary or middle school for some sort of accelerated learning program and being taken out of class and brought into other rooms with smaller group of children? And do you have an extremely hard time remembering that? Basically, the gate program would like come to schools and they would take children and put them in these really dim lit rooms with no windows and they'll give you like an old headset. These were the headphones. Some people might just see these and get like an instant trigger. And basically what they would do is they'll have us take these strange tests like remembering shapes and like patterns. When you place those testimonies next to what we know from declassified CIA memos, lobbying to retain access to student records, government investment in gifted offices, and the Army's gateway analysis, the ordinary story of education starts to look like more complicated seam in Cold War history. This is the moment we move from paperwork to people, their memories, their fears, and the hard questions of whether the classroom doubled as recruitment and screening ground for something far darker. So, there's many Reddit threads talking about this, but there's also an entire Reddit thread devoted to bringing former gate kids together, and they've compiled list of common experiences, memories, and traits. They remember being pulled into the program after standardized testing and told to not talk about anything to other students outside of the program because the other kids might feel excluded or jealous. As far as what happened in these secret classrooms, I'm going to break that up into five sections. Hearing tests, pink drink, curriculum, tests and tasks, and common similarities. So, for some context, was in the GATE program during my elementary and middle school years. So, I'll sprinkle in my own experiences as we go if they are valid, which sometimes they will be. Every school kid remembers lining up once year for the routine hearing test. You sat in chair, slipped on oversized headphones, and raised your hand when you heard tone. Quick, simple, and over in minute. But former Gates students describe something far stranger. For them, the headphones weren't an annual ritual. They were weekly one. Heavy padded corded headphones clamped over their ears, connected to bulky machines. The tones weren't just pass or fail. They were patterned, repeated, sometimes painfully high-pitched. If you were in the gifted and talented program as child, you probably have super limited memory of most of the things that went on there, except for few odd things that stick out in your mind, like this hearing test. As someone who went through this program myself, but is also registered nurse trained in pediatrics, want to clear up little bit of confusion for the people who think that this was just the standard hearing test. First and foremost, yes, there is hearing test that we administer to all school-aged children looking specifically for hearing deficits. This was not the same test. For one thing, this test is only given once to all kids to test for hearing deficit. and you may have gone through the test again if the results were inconclusive or if they actually found deficit and they are trying to measure it throughout your age. The testing that they did with us in the gifted and talented programs was very different from the one that was trained to administer. This one was long-term test. remember many many hours of wearing these headphones and specifically trying to almost psychically predict which side of the headphones the tone would come out of. And sometimes it was more of hypnosis tape type situation where they were trying to induce certain states of consciousness in us. Now personally remember wearing these headphones lot and hearing differently pitched tones coming through either one ear or the other. remember being asked to raise my hand on the side heard the tone, but also remember being asked to lift my hand on the side thought the tone was going to be played on next. So, that's very interesting to me because that doesn't seem like something that would be part of hearing test, right? That seems almost like prediction, anticipation. will you be able to tell us or maybe pattern recognition, like will you be able to tell us what side we're going to play the tone on next? And this creator, Jake knows nothing, believes it might have been test for psychic ability. And that could be, but it also could have been an indicator for pattern recognition. also remember listening to different meditative sounds, sometimes just white noise, other times guided meditations, but that took place in different room where they would pull the desk to the side of the room and then lay mats on the floor and turn the lights off and then ask us to lay on our backs on the mats and listen to the headphones. And after the session, we would be asked to write down what we saw in our heads or what we felt while we were laying there listening through the headphones. And if we fell asleep, we would be asked what did we dream while we were laying there listening to the headphones. also remember sometimes having feeling of falling asleep, but at the same time still being aware of where was and what was happening around me. So, this creator also talks about how he believes that it was intentional that the gate program headphone activity so closely resembled the normal hearing test that every kid gets. So, that if these memories ever did resurface, others would come out and tell people they were just being silly and every student went through an experience like this. But that's not true. Every student did not go through an experience like this. Additionally, can anyone remember anything happening after their standard and annual hearing tests? Were your parents informed if you had issues hearing? Were you sent to doctor? And we can admit that having intact hearing is very important for learning. So, get wanting to do hearing tests in school, but would also argue that having good vision is also important. And don't recall ever receiving vision tests in school. So, because I've been looking into this for so long and I've been talking to people on social media who are also looking into this and talking about this, I've met lot of people and made some friends and one of my friends who goes by Enriched Talks on Tik Tok and I'll link his handle in the description box so you can check him out. He handles this objection very well. So, why would the government need to test the hearing of elementary school students anyway? That's my first question. Were they going to pay for the surgeries to fix hearing if that was possible? No. Were they going to pay for hearing aids for students who needed them? Was the government going to do that? We don't have free healthcare here. Were they going to pay for American Sign Language to kids who needed it? Mm-m. But they just were interested in your hearing. Hey, guess so. Maybe in your city, maybe in your city they cared about you. but yeah, think with two seconds of analytical thinking, we know it wasn't hearing tests. But understand how it could be scary for you because you don't know what to do with this information. When you read the comments and you see with everybody is having the same experiences, the same abilities, they can dream the future. They have deja vu where they've experienced it before, so they've done it before. know you don't know how to process that. And so it's easier to laugh than it is to comprehend. Many people believe the tones and sounds being played through the headphones was method used to do exactly what Robert Monroe claimed to have achieved with his gateway program. Put the two hemispheres of the brain on the same frequency and observe which students were able to alter their consciousness, which would be sign that those students might be more prone to psychic abilities. Some believe the intended purpose of these exercises was much more nefarious. However, Tik Tok creator Museum of Tarot explains this very well, and he brings the facts and receipts. If you were part of the GATE program and you remember strange hearing tests, weird music, or missing time, then you may have been experimented on with one of these. This very rare piece of equipment is known as binaural signal generator by AWI Electronics out of Tacoma, Washington. This device was made in the 1980s and the company that made it is long out of business. Believe the gentleman that owned it is in his 70s right now. But they made many different variations of this unit over the years, including one that was made and branded specifically for Bob Monroe and his Fed cult called the Hemisync Synthesizer. This is actually more deluxe model than the Hemisync branded model. It has more bells and whistles, but it's practically the same device with the same intended purpose. You would set up an audio device that plays into this. This would overlay an entrainment signal onto it, and it would play through headphones or through speakers to put the audience into hyper suggestible altered state. There is paper trail of these devices being made and tested in schools under the pretense of what is called superarning. Well, superarning like super memory, super learning, superarning 2000, mega brain and side testing. The problem is none of you seem to have actually received any of that superarning training. There were accelerated learning techniques that were being tested using this technology at that time, such as Suggestipedia by Dr. Georgie Lzanov out of Bulgaria, which promised that you could pick up language in just few weeks. But how many of you are out there speaking six, seven, eight languages right now? How many of you were actually trained to have idetic memory? You weren't because the benefits of all of that research were never intended for you. And this is where the dark side of this technology comes into play because we're going to introduce somebody that was referenced very heavily by Monroe and the various testers that use these. One, Dr. Thomas Budinski. Now, Budzitki is really interesting character because he started off as an electrical engineer and aerospace engineer working at Area 51 on the SR71 spy plane for the CIA. And wouldn't you know it, in typical Fed fashion, he makes mega career change just after he reached the top of the aerospace industry. He decides to go off and study something completely unrelated in psychology, namely the use of binaurals and bof feedback in order to dominate the human mind. He had mastered aerospace weapon system. So he wanted to master another weapon system, the human mind. And he created an early version of what would later be called Hemisync that he called twilight learning. And I'm going to read to you that twilight learning utilizes EEG neuro feedback to train the subject to enter the theta rhythm dominant brain state of 4 to 7 hertz and then presents auditory change messages to the individual while in this hyper suggestible state. One of the symptoms that people report when they've been put into this hyper suggestible hypnotic state is the perception of missing time. And know from reading many people's accounts of being in the GATE program, including my own experience in the GATE program, how many people report that they went off to do hearing tests or other assorted testing, and they thought they were gone for 15 minutes or half hour and when they got back, they were gone for an hour or two hours. From the last 200 years of hypnosis studies, we know that the more intelligent person is, the better hypnotizable subject they are and the more capable they are of retaining difficult information in their hypnotized alter state. So what was everybody being reprogrammed with or as Bodzinski calls it rescripting? Dr. Thomas Bodzinski was one of the earliest and most influential figures in BOF feedback and neuro feedback. He came out of the 1960s, 1970s era when scientists, psychologists, and even intelligence agencies were fascinated with brain waves, altered states, and whether consciousness itself could be trained or harnessed. And he believed the brain was trainable like muscle. And his twilight learning concept suggested the brain is highly impressionable in theta states, which is ideal for reprogramming habits and beliefs. He once said, quote, sometimes wonder if what we are really doing is teaching people to control the gateway to consciousness itself. End quote. And by people, he could have meant you and regular people who want to quickly absorb new information or new behaviors. Or he could have meant people who would use this knowledge and technology to insert specifically chosen information into others to implant whatever ideas or behaviors in whoever they wanted. So, it's definitely food for thought. That weird pink liquid. And if you answered wrong or remembered too much, you got the pee drink. You know the one. Do you remember having to drink some sort of weird liquid out of little Dixie cup? I'm talking about reddish, pinkish, purplish. People describe it as different colors, but distinctly remember having the experience of having to drink this weird liquid out of cup. Among the most chilling and common memories Gate alumni share is the pink drink, bubblegum pink liquid handed out in paper cups in special Gate sessions. One Reddit user recalled, quote, doctor gave me glass of thick pink chalky liquid and told me it was very important to drink it. tried to get out of it because it tasted horrible, but they kept insisting and eventually finished it and fell asleep. End quote. Another user claims, quote, remember the chalky pink drink, the way it coated my throat, leaving strange sensation that lingered long after the testing began. End quote. And the typical response to this is that the pink drink was fluoride rinse that schools implemented, but that it was voluntary and parents had to sign off on it. Tooth decay was reportedly rampant in the early 20th century and research showed that fluoride and drinking water reduced cavities significantly. So the United States began widespread efforts to put fluoride in water in the 1950s. However, they claimed they needed an alternative for rural areas that didn't have fluoride in the water and in schools serving lowincome children, which led to the creation of fluoride programs in schools. In the 1960s, the US Public Health Service rolled out fluoride swish programs for elementary students. And this solution was often tinted pink or red and was weekly ritual where students would be given small cups of the solution that they were told to swish around in their mouths for one minute before spitting it back into the cup. Now, lot of people who took part in the gate programs say they do remember getting the fluoride cups, but they also remember being given another pink or red substance that they were told to swallow, not swish. So, let's look at some of the theories of what they believed this pink drink was intended for. Some do believe the drink was fluoride, but that the fluoride was intended for darker purposes than preventing tooth decay. Recent studies and even 2024 federal review suggest that too much fluoride, especially during pregnancy, may be linked to small drops in children's IQ. But US health agencies still stand by adding fluoride to drinking water at the usual level of about 0.7 milligs per liter. And they say it helps prevent cavities. Now, let's go even deeper down the rabbit hole because that's what we do and that's what we have more freedom to do during Halloween. So, we're going to talk about the pineal gland, small endocrine gland located at the center of the brain, and its primary function is to produce and secrete the hormone melatonin. Most of us probably know that melatonin regulates your sleep and wake cycle. It helps maintain the body's natural daily rhythms, such as being awake during the day and being asleep at night because the pineal gland is sensitive to light, which is detected by the retina and transmitted to the brain. So, this allows the gland to adjust melatonin production based on the time of day. But melatonin also influences puberty and reproduction. Levels of melatonin decrease during puberty, which triggers the release of other hormones that promote sexual development. Melatonin also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can protect the body from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. And some studies suggest the hormone may also play role in mood regulation, reducing the risk of depression. Since the 1970s, some researchers and many mystics have suggested the pineal might produce DMT, powerful psychedelic, sometimes called the spirit molecule. Studies in mice and rats have found that the enzymes needed to make DMT do exist in the pineal gland and in other brain regions, but lot in the pineal gland and small amounts in other brain regions. And some researchers have found that the pineal gland tends to accumulate mineral deposits as we age and that fluoride can show up in those mineral deposits. Many believe the pineal gland is the third eye which plays role in spiritual experiences and intuition and if activated it can bring about profound spiritual and mental changes. The pineal gland has long history as the third eye in mysticism and new age thoughts. So theories that it's being shut down or calcified by fluoride fits the narrative of hidden control, forced public health measures, and cold war secrecy. As you all probably realize, the pink liquid that they tricked so many families into and so many children into taking back when we were growing up in grade school and very specifically in the gifted and talented classes was very concentrated fluoride mouth rinse. And my belief is that they tricked everybody into taking this in order to damage you. The most recent studies into fluoridees effects on intelligence are very conclusive and they're the complete opposite of the and propaganda that we were fed growing up. Studies such as this on developmental fluoride neurotoxicity, systemic review and metaanalysis, conclude that children in high fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ scores than those who lived in low fluoride areas and that the results support the adverse effects of high fluoride exposure on children's neurode development. But aside from simple IQ, what else were they getting rid of? Well, this study focuses on cognitive impairment induced by excessive fluoride and it shows that prolonged exposure to excessive fluoride causes fluoride accumulation in the hippocampus resulting in cognitive dysfunction. If you've been following my work for any amount of time, you know that I've exposed you to the work of the late Dr. Michael Persinger who proved conclusively that the hippocampus is where telepathy, clairvoyance, and intuition occur within the brain. Every animal has intuition. We are supposed to have intuition. And the fact that this crap directly impacts the area of the brain that allows for intuition is no coincidence. Now, let's talk about the curriculum. The kinds of topics and lesson plans these gate classes seem to focus on, according to those who took part in them. There's actually Tik Tok user, Annie Mills, who was able to track down her old binders from her time in the gate program. And what she revealed is super interesting, but is actually kind of chilling. Everything from learning sign language, Morse code, and Russian to worksheets geared towards codereing and solving puzzles. know each of the programs was different, so like different decades, different states had different programs, but for ours, Russian was big part of it. And on the first day, we went there and she spoke in English to say, "Hi, my name is so and so. I'll be your Russian teacher and from here on out, will only speak in Russian." And she only spoke in Russian for the rest of the time. So, if you had any type of question, you had to just figure it out. And big part of what we learned was about Russian culture, but we didn't talk about it specifically in relation to where we were in the States, just like in general. But do have lot of my Russian stuff, like have this, which we made tile wall. know lot of other people made tile walls also. So, these are the instructions on how we were supposed to make our tile wall. And on the back of it, there's list of words we might like to use, and they are peace, America, love, freedom, Russia, flag, hope, and happiness. don't know what we did with these things, but like this is McDonald's ad in Russian. I'll flip it around so you can kind of see it better. There's just bunch of different Ronalds. Ronald, Ronald, Ronald, Ronald and Pizza Hut menu, all completely in Russian. We also learned sign language and think that's pretty big, too. So, lot of people remember learning ASL. do have this, but don't have much else on what we learned. And then people wanted to see more decoding. So, this is one of the things that we had to decode. Some of the codes that we worked on were Morse codes. Some of them were based in the English alphabet, but they were the letters were mixed up. And then some of them were just symbols. I've been posting my worksheets from the GATE program, and had posted one that was like decoding worksheet, and people in the comments pointed out the message, which had just kind of skipped over when was showing it. Listen to this. It says, "Fellow colonists, the mother ship from Zorax landed on Earth last week, Earth time, in Peru. Our oneness visited the Yucatan and Egypt before moving the ship to its present location. It now awaits our gathering. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Let our minds reveal the ship's location. Our oneness will direct our way. Fear no human intervention. The ship is fifthdimensional model invisible to normal Earth eyes. We may attend the gathering of minds in our earth forms or through astral projection. Those using nonhuman forms or assigned to underwater lives will use astral powers. Peace one of us. So that worksheet was done in 2004. Let me show you something. So here's this from chat GPT saying that in 2004 there was UFO sighting in Egypt. Also in 2004, there was UFO sighting in Peru. And in 2004, Yucatan might be coincidence. Who knows? But if you want to screenshot it, here's the actual worksheet. Our oneness. Let our minds reveal the ship's location. The gathering of minds in our Earth form. astral projection. What? That sounds lot like remote viewing and leaving the body as the gateway process. and the CIA files believed was possible. Why would kids in school be having to crack codes that reveal this kind of message? mean, don't get me wrong. It's very cool. would like to crack that kind of code in school and get that kind of message. would think that was awesome. But it's weird, right? Apparently, there was also focus on ancient Egypt, and students would be asked to write hieroglyphics on clay or use hieroglyphics to write messages to other students. Some previous GATE students remember playing Senate, which is an ancient Egyptian board game that dates back to 3100 B.CE. making it possibly the world's oldest game. Now, the Senate board usually has 30 squares arranged in three rows of 10, and pieces are moved based on throws of sticks or knucklebones. mean, now we would probably use dice, but back then they used knucklebones. And because Senate is rooted in Egyptianerary beliefs and afterlife mythology, some interpreted as more than game, it's seen metaphorically as sacred challenge or soul journey. Some of the game squares are associated with rebirth or safe passage. And some people treat Senate like tool for inner messages, believing it can signal inner gifts or future paths, especially when paired with guided meditation and visualization. So, this game could have been used to cultivate critical thinking and planning with players having to decide which piece to move and when while considering both offensive and defensive strategies. But then lot of games would do that, right? Chess, battleship. mean, million games would would achieve that same purpose. So, why would school kids have to play this specific game? the very name of which means passing. The movement of the pieces across the board symbolizes the soul's journey through the underworld. And the game pieces were often stored in box that was made to look like tomb. And that's kind of dark. Once again, super cool, but kind of dark for school children to be playing if they're trying to learn logic and like problem solving skills. Somebody else had mentioned measurements, and couldn't remember what they were talking about, but look at what found. We had to measure ourselves or like translate our measurements into ancient measurements. We all have the same experience being taught and told to research ancient Egypt, which has fostered lifelong obsession in lot of us. It was also my gateway, mind the pun, to just weird mystical things. This whole Egypt thing. Can somebody please just explain to me why in the hell they had us doing such heavy work with things regarding ancient Egypt? We had to do whole excavation roleplay thing. We had to make artifacts and set traps. The dig happened like and we had so many books. so many books about ancient Egypt and the mysteries of why why my entire elementary and middle school life did spend so much time learning about Egypt museum trips books movies research this whole Egypt thing why the curses tombs and artifacts and lore and Greek mythology we spent lot of time on that too on mythology in general but why mean That's where my obsession with history and different cultures began honestly back in in think would say even grade school when we started learning about ancient Egypt and when was in the gate program we did special trips and things that other kids didn't get to do and we went to different places and we actually talked to people who were skilled and educated in that specific culture. But let's go back to Egypt and an ancienterary text called the book of gates which narrates the journey of deceased soul as it is accompanied through the underworld by the sun god Rah. So the soul must pass through the 12 hours of the night that are represented by gate that the soul must pass through. So 12 gates at each gate there's challenges and judges and the soul must have the right information and knowledge to proceed. If the soul manages to pass all 12 gates, they emerge at dawn with Rah and the rising sun, which symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and entry into the afterlife. In Egyptian thought, this wasn't about reincarnation in the modern sense. Instead, it meant joining Rah in the eternal cycle, living on in transformed and divine state. And that sounds an awful lot like Robert Monroe's gateway program where the consciousness leaves the body and travels through several stages with the goal of accessing the universal hologram and ultimately connecting to the absolute aka living on in transformed and divine state. Now, let's go little more into the fringes, the outer fringes of the mind, and talk about stargates, which are believed to be physical portals that lets consciousness or people pass between places, times, and even dimensions. And allegedly, they're everywhere if you know where to look. Yawning in the folds of the earth, hidden in plain sight behind weathered stone and forgotten rights. From hilltops and stone circles to the yawning pylons of Egypt, stargates are the planet's secret plumbing. Places where the world thins and other orders press close. So in Egypt, the signs are the loudest. shafts that point to stars, carved gates that name gods like keys, tomb murals that map traveler's passage through the dark. To those who have felt it, standing before temple doorway is like smelling the ocean after long drought. The air tastes different. The hairs on your arms stand up and for second you know another place is only breath away. So think about Outlander, right? and the stone circle and how Claire was able to stand in front of the stone circle in one time and then pass through the stone circle and end up in another time so she could be with Jaime. Okay, that would be stargate. That's an example of Stargate. And people who study the old paths say the Egyptians weren't just telling story in the book of gates. They were pointing the way. They built thresholds designed to be walked through, not merely read about. portals tuned by geometry and ritual waiting for the right mind the right moment to open depending on what you believe and what you believe is possible. This is very compelling path of thought to wander down if you're curious as to why the gate programs focused so much on ancient Egypt and ancient civilizations in general. Now, many people who were part of the gate program also remember big focus on underwater stuff, especially whales for some odd reason. I'm back with more of the worksheets. So, went through the comments and tried to pick out worksheets that were what you guys remembered so can confirm it for you. First things first, some people wanted to see the astronaut on the front. So, this is him. It was about an underwater diving apparatus. And then lot of people remember learning about whales, and yes, we in fact did. And here is one of the worksheets on that. Everybody keeps mentioning whales, and went through my hole binder this time, and they were obsessed with whales. Okay, so here's whale comparison chart. Be whale expert and we had to answer all these different questions about it. We had to learn about products from whales. So, piano keys, scrimshaw, perfume, pet food, and whole lot of people remember something called The Voyage of Mimi, which was 13 episode education television series produced in 1984 by the Bank Street College of Education in New York with funding from the National Science Foundation. The program was aimed at middle school students as part of cross-disciplinary math and science curriculum and actually starred young Ben Affleck in one of his first roles. So, the show followed the crew of research vessel called The Mimi as they studied whales off the New England coast. And it wasn't just show to be watched. It was part of curriculum package. Teachers received workbooks, hand-on activities, and even had field assignments to go with each episode. Students in gifted and talented classes would watch each episode and then do activities like measuring sound waves, mapping whale migration routes, learning about navigation, even code breaking. So, let's look at this from the perspective of some people who believe the gate program was government ploy to train the youth of America early in order to recruit them into military or intelligence roles. Something interesting found is that in 2019, beluga whale appeared off the coast of Norway wearing harness and camera mount with the words equipment of St. Petersburg written on it. But this was not just any whale. The whale nicknamed Vladimir, he seemed incredibly tame, like pet whale. When he was freed, he didn't swim away. He stayed near human boats and allowed people to pet him. He seemed used to humans. He followed sea vessels and showed behaviors that suggested he had prior training from humans. And obviously the presence of the harness in camera mounting gear triggered speculation that this sweet whale who was so cute and let people pet him, he was part of some naval or intelligence program. And outside of the St. Petersburg clue on his harness, Vladimir appeared in waters relatively close to Russian naval facility. More than one, actually. So, we know that both the United States and Russia have longunning marine mammal programs. The US Navy marine mammal program started in 1959 at Point Magoo, California, where they trained dolphins to detect and mark the location of underwater mines using their natural sonar. Some marine mammals have even been trained to patrol harbors, detect unauthorized divers, and in some cases attach cuffs or marker buoys to intruders for surface interception. So this program is still active and the Navy says that about 70 dolphins and 30 sea lions are in service at any given time. Russia operated similar program in Crimea beginning in the 1960s. They trained dolphins for harbor defense and even possible kamicazi missions which meant they would deliver explosives to enemy ships. And this pisses me off thinking that these poor dolphins are, you know, feel like kamicazi mission has to be something you're aware of. Like you know what's going to happen. And then if that's what you want to do, so be it. These dolphins don't know they're on kamicazi mission. They think they're just doing their jobs bringing the explosives to the ships. They don't know that they're going to be part of that collateral damage. So that pisses me off. And after the fall of the Soviet Union, the Crimea facility was temporarily shut down, but was later restarted by Russia where beluga whales and other species of whales were reportedly tested for Arctic operations. So being taught about underwater stuff and whales and different languages and ancient civilizations and codes. This could all just have been advanced education for gifted students or it could have been early training for intelligence work. There was also focus on the students solving puzzles, problem solving, and developing their own inventions. Then there were lot of comments about puzzle pictures. Tell me if this is what you guys were thinking. So like they cut up the picture and then we had to put it back together correctly like that. And then we had to do so have so many of these graph sheets and they they tested us against each other and they would like write down which how fast you finished. lot of people talked about the crossword puzzles that we did and boy did we do lot of them in ours. This was creative thinking based problem solving. So they gave us problem. We had to figure out bunch of new uses for old items that we inherited and reuse them in creative ways. And then we had some papers like this where they would tell us who did what when and we would have to figure out who they were talking about. Some of these were crime based, some of them, like this one was volunteer based, but it was like who done it. And then for ours, we focused lot on inventors and inventing. So like there's here's my rubric. Outstanding. And this part was just one of the prompts for the many inventions. We learned how to tie different knots. So an overhand knot, clove hitch, and then here is more about the invention stuff. people wanted to see more of this. So they gave us list of things to invent and then we had to come up with what that would actually look like. And then here is another like decoding worksheet. So they had us mark true or false. These are all statements about Marie Curie and then we had to say true or false and then it translated to letter and then we had to apparently didn't do it but we're supposed to translate the letters into numbers to decode the message. So then we did words of the week. So we've got this one. I'll give you second to screenshot before show the next one. So lot of them had to do with sound transmitter pitch. According to these previous students, they were made to do ink blot tests. They were given personality assessments using MyersBriggs. They were shown something called Zenner cards which are used to conduct experiments for ESP, extrensory perception. These cards were designed by psychologist Carl Zenner in the 1930s. And in each deck there's 25 cards with different symbols on them like circle, plus sign, star, etc. Zenner and his partner Dr. JB Rin, botonist turned parasycchologist with Duke University, ran thousands of trials, which led them to believe that small percentage of the population had ESP capabilities. classic experiment that they would run involved two people, sender who would look at random card and then try to project that image mentally to the receiver who would then guess the symbol. So, if someone consistently scored above 20%, it was considered to be evidence of telepathic ability. Ryan's published work was one of the few semi-scientific data sets on ESP, and his findings convinced some in the CIA and the Department of Defense that psychic phenomena might be real enough to warrant investigation for national security purposes. Former Gate students frequently mention Zenner cards, often describing guessing games in dark rooms and pressure to see or feel which card was next. The official stance is that Zenner cards could train pattern recognition, statistical intuition, and non-verbal communication and concentration. But through different lens, the cards feel more like psychic aptitude screening. So, there's lot more that we could discuss as far as what those GATE students were tasked with doing in their special classes, but we only have so much time in the day. So, let's move on to common similarities that former Gate students have in common with each other. They came from different states, different schools, different decades. They didn't know each other. But when they began talking about their childhoods in the gifted and talented program, the stories lined up like constellations. And remember, these people were trained to pick up on patterns. All of them carried the same strange echoes. Sleep paralysis that left them frozen but conscious. feeling electricity shoot through their bodies like pulses of light. Dreams that weren't really dreams. Wandering through malls, tiled rooms, water parks, and airports that felt like maps to somewhere else. Now, these are actually called mall world dreams. It's phenomenon where people report having shared recurring dreams featuring expansive liinal spaces like endless corridors, looping hallways with anomalous layouts, flickering lights, and muted atmosphere. People who have experienced these dreams report sense of following unwritten rules and being trapped alone with feelings of alienation, yearning, and dread. In forums and Reddit threads, many have said these dreams feel more real than regular dreams, and they carry an emotional weight far beyond typical dream. Some of the dreams were prophetic, eerily detailing glimpses of things that hadn't happened yet. Others were lucid flights floating down staircases, through neighborhoods, or up into the skies if their souls had slipped free. UFOs, orbs, poltergeist flickers in the corner of their eyes. Former Gate students say that they've experienced all of these things. Ball lightning, deja vu so strong it was like living script they'd already read. Former Gate students talk about waking up in the middle of the night, specifically at 3:00 a.m., unable to sleep, suffering from migraines, and exhaustion that they couldn't explain. Many were high-scoring children, IQ's in the top percentiles, but prone to synchronicities, and wild coincidences. Many had birth complications, heterocchromatic hazel eyes, odd moles or scars, specifically on the left arm and forehead. They've never had broken bone. There are reports of occipital bone bumps. So the occipital bone is natural bony ridge in the center of the lower back of the skull. And some people have more pronounced bump in that area right where the skull curves down towards the neck. Now the function of the occipital lobe is to process visual stimuli from the external world while also assigning meaning to visual perceptions. It's also super important for spatial awareness, which don't have any of by the way. Spatial awareness I'm very low on. It's important for perceiving distance and depth perception and color and also memory for faces and places. And this is interesting as many former Gate students have huge blank spaces in place of past childhood memories. And there are reports of exgate students experiencing dreams, deja vu, or missing time when trying to recall specific events from their gate years, suggesting some sort of memory suppression. How did they do this? that so many of us have little to no memories of the program and by hearing someone else speak about it, it jogs your memory and you realize, no, was in that. No, they don't remember. Most of them don't remember. They just remember from middle school forward. So for most kids, their entire childhood, they don't remember. Why is it that everybody doesn't remember what happened in these gate programs or these gifted programs? have to wonder if between things like the sound test and other things that was it some kind of frequency hypnosis. really, really, really can't remember anything about it. It's really weird. remember very clearly the building. remember very clearly the doorway. remember playing with my classmates in the playground outside of the building. remember my teacher's name. remember what she looks like. but when visualize her, she's standing in the doorway and can't remember anything we learned. can't remember any lessons. can't remember speaking with anyone in the classroom. can't remember the teacher teaching anything in the classroom. Never wonder why we can't remember most of our childhood. It's not just trauma. It's programming, surveillance, silence, and reward system based on betrayal of self. But the memories are returning because the codes are activating. Many GTE students have gone on to develop ADHD, autism diagnosis, fragmented identities, or mental health struggles, and lot of them report heavy drug use in their teens and 20s. Some say they felt leniency from law enforcement later in life or they were recruited into government or military roles. lot of them say that their parents or grandparents were in the military and they traveled lot with those those adults that they lived with and found themselves on military bases lot and kind of in proximity to US government and military personnel and facilities. They say they have developed lifelong obsession with the strange counterculture, being interested in exploring meditation, out-of- body experiences, homeopathic remedies, being interested in conspiracy theories, mysteries, true crime, dabbling in witchcraft and the occult, using Ouija boards or being curious in childhood about doing things like Bloody Mary. they say that they have these hyperfixations on things that usually concern ancient cultures. theories about those cultures, you know, things like that. Like lot of people who were in former gate programs love history, love researching it, putting things together. And lot of these people also say they have odd connections to certain pieces of media like Stranger Things, the OA, Black Mirror, etc. Overall, these people feel different than their peers. They feel like they're always being watched or monitored, like they're in version of The Truman Show, like there's cameras on them all the time. They struggle with sleep issues, depression, anxiety. They are neurode divergent, experience brain fog, often go through burnout, and have constant feelings that they've been through something that left mental and emotional scars, but they can't retrieve those memories in order to process through that trauma. And so many talk about having near-death experience in childhood, specifically close call with drowning. also have that. And have lot of these things. I'm not going to say it every time, but have lot of these things. But the near-death experience in childhood, I'm not going to talk about it. It's still very weird to think about. but yeah, not drowning. Mine wasn't close call with drowning, but yes, had near-death experience when was about eight. Individually, these memories are odd but harmless. Together, they form portrait. Children scattered across the country, selected for their high scores, quietly subjected to unusual tests, and growing into adults with the same uncanny traits in the same lingering sense that they were being groomed, watched, or trained for something that they were never told about. Whether that's by coincidence or design is still mystery. know for fact that have so little memories from my childhood that it's almost shocking. Like, it's not shocking to me necessarily because that's just how I've always lived. But when other people talk about their childhood memories and like people they knew in grade school and in middle school and things they did and things they studied in school and what they did outside of school and stuff like that, that's when it becomes weird to me because I'm like, can't remember any of that stuff. How do you remember that stuff so clearly? So some people wonder, were our memories wiped intentionally so we wouldn't remember what we did in this gate program or are our memories being suppressed by our own brain trying to protect us from it kind of thing? The pattern that all of these people describe it feels like fingerprint left on generation. Officially, the Gate program was designed to help gifted students reach their full potential. well-intentioned effort to challenge bright young minds. But unofficially, people are beginning to ask different question. What if it wasn't just about education? What if it was about identification? The timeline is admittedly strange. Even the skeptical have to admit that the GATE program expanded nationally in the 1980s, which was the same decade the CIA was studying consciousness, psychic phenomena, and remote viewing underclassified initiatives like Project Stargate. Around that same time, children in gate classrooms around the country began describing similar experiences. Center cards and guessing games, tone tests with heavy headphones, pink bubblegum drinks they were told were fluoride, strange visitors in suits who watched but rarely spoke. It all sounds innocent until you start seeing the patterns. The same techniques, sensory deprivation, brainwave entrainment, telepathic experiments. They were being studied in government labs. the same era, the same methods, just younger subjects. Some believe Gate was covert recruitment pipeline, way to identify prodigies early and quietly funnel them toward defense and intelligence work. Others think it went deeper, that it was testing psychic potential, mapping the minds of children who scored in the 98th or 99th percentile, training them to access something beyond ordinary perception. Then there are the darker whispers. That the program wasn't just measuring intelligence. It was manipulating consciousness. That the pink drink and the tones and the guided meditations were designed to suppress memory or induce suggestability. That the reason so many former students share the same fragmented recollection and liinal dreams is because they were all part of something they were never supposed to remember. It's impossible to prove, of course. There are no surviving documents, no open confessions, just the eerie commonalities, the ringing in the ears, the lost time, the recurring dreams of endless hallways and bright white rooms, the feeling of never quite fitting in as they go through life. Some might call them coincidences, but these former gay students call them clues. And maybe somewhere in between lies the truth that the gifted weren't just chosen to learn, they were chosen to be unlocked. Maybe this was all just coincidence. gifted program for bright kids, government memo about consciousness, few decades of strange experiments that sound wilder than they really were. But maybe not. Maybe the Gateway Project and the Gate Classroom or two sides of the same coin, split by bureaucracy, but united by purpose to find out what the human mind could really do if pushed far enough. And maybe that's why the memories are so fractured. Why so many of the same people hear that same high-pitched ringing when they start to remember? Maybe it isn't tonitis. Maybe it's signal that never really stopped transmitting. They called it the gifted and talented education program. But gifted in what? And talented at what? Some say it was about finding the next generation of thinkers. But others believe it was about tuning human consciousness itself. Learning how to shift awareness, how to move between worlds, the tests, the tones, the dreams, they were all frequencies, and we were the receivers. And if that's true, if all of this really was about tuning the human mind to hear something beyond the noise, then maybe it's time we listened. Thank you everyone so much for being here. know this was long video. know it was probably really, what do they call it? Like heavy, thick with information, lot of stuff, lot of dates, lot of things that we talked about. you know, very dense, very dense, as dense as CIA memo, you might say. But hope that everybody sort of got the vibe and kind of saw the progression of how these laws were made, what the government was doing, how the gifted and talented program came to be on the cusp of law banning the government from having access to student records. And this is all fun and games, right? This is for entertainment purposes only. what do believe personally? don't know what to believe. don't know what to believe about anything anymore, but think that this is all very possible, all very probable, and potentially it could be true. don't put anything past our government. We've seen what they've been capable of, and we've seen what they're willing to do, and it all just kind of makes sense. But let me know what you think about all of this in the comment section. Were you part of the GATE program? Do you understand what I'm saying? Do you feel some of these same things? Have you heard about this before? Have you been wondering yourself what the heck was going on in these gifted and talented classes? What kind of things did you study? What kind of things did you remember? Go ahead and put all of that in the collective consciousness of the comment section. Don't forget to like this video if you liked it. Share it if you think it's worth sharing. And subscribe if you haven't already. And until next time, stay kind, stay beautiful, stay safe, and stay spooky. Halloween continues. love you so much, and I'll see you soon. Bye.
