"We have not been informed that our bodies tend to do what they are told if we know how to tell them" (Elmer Green, cited in Jim Robbins, 2008, A Symphony in the Brain, p. 1)


"Consider yourself informed!" (Here, Now)

"The effects of binaural beats on consciousness were first examined by physicist Thomas Campbell and electrical engineer Dennis Mennerich, who under the direction of Robert Monroe sought to reproduce a subjective impression of 4Hz oscillation that they associated with out-of-body experience [My Big TOE" Book 1, Thomas Campbell, p79]. On the strength of their findings, Monroe spawned the binaural self-development industry by forming The Monroe Institute, now a charitable binaural research and education organization." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats)

". . . our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different. We may go through life without suspecting their existence; but apply the requisite stimulus, and at a touch they are there in all their completeness, definite types of mentality which probably somewhere have their field of application and adaptation. No account of the universe in its totality can be final which leaves these other forms of consciousness quite disregarded . . . At any rate, they forbid a premature closing of our account with reality . . . " (William James, The Varieties of Religious Experience, 1902, cited in P.D. Ouspensky, Tertium Organum: A Key to the Enigmas of the World, 1920)

"The Anaesthetic Revelation is the Initiation of Man into the Immemorial Mystery of the Open Secret of Being, revealed as the Inevitable Vortex of Continuity." (B.P. Blood, The Anaesthetic Revelation and the Gist of Philosophy, 1874, cited in James, 1902, cited in Ouspensky, 1920)

B.P. Blood and William James had their Nitrous Oxide, Sigmund Freud had his Cocaine, Aldous Huxley had his Peyote, Albert Hoffman had his LSD-25, John C. Lilly had his Ketamine, and, if we're lucky, we'll have our safe, non-drug, electronic, binaural-beat-induced method of experiencing our own Mind in its limitless potential.

According to Charles Tart,

     "Induction of a d-ASC [Discrete Altered State of Consciousness] involves two basic operations that, if successful, lead to the d-ASC from the b-SoC [Baseline State of Conscioussness]. First, we apply disrupting forces to the b-SoC -- psychological and/or physiological actions that disrupt the stabilization process discussed above either by interfering with them or by withdrawing attention / awareness energy or other types of energies from them . . .
     If induction is proceeding successfully, the disrupting forces push various structures / subsystems to their limits of stable functioning and then beyond, destroying the integrity of the system and disrupting the stability of the b-SoC as a system. Then, in the second part of the induction process, we apply patterning forces  during this transitional, disorganized period -- psychological or physiological actions that pattern structures /subsystems into a new system, the desired d-ASC. The new system, the d-ASC, must develop its own stabilization processes if it is to last.
     Deinduction, return to the b-SoC, is the same process as induction. The d-ASC is disrupted, a transitional period occurs, and the b-SoC is reconstructed by patterning forces. The subject transits back to his customary region of experiential space." (Charles Tart, States of Consciousness, 1983/2000, p. 7)

OBE-25™  is a binaural beat mix that successfully induced 4 OBEs in its developer (Dr. Seiden) over a period of 4 weeks in October and November, 2009, in the midst of experimentation with various combinations of Delta and Theta brainwaves, and "Beta bursts". This result was significant, as it followed upon approximately 2 years of only moderate success in OBE and Lucid Dream induction after an initial powerful OBE in October, 2007, triggered by the simultaneous use of Taoist (Microcosmic Orbit), Hindu (Chakra) and Buddhist (Zen Koan) meditation and energy work.

Using Tart's (1983/2000) terminology, OBE-25™  is applied to the various b-SoC's (Baseline States of Consciousness) of nightly sleep. The slight differences in frequencies presented to the left and right ear synchronize the hemispheres of the brain to "binaural beats" equivalent to the frequency differential, chosen to simulate specific brainwaves (a phenomenon discovered by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, 1839; Patented by Robert Monroe, 1993, 1994; Brought to public attention by Gerald Oster, 1973). Over a period of 2 hours, the specific frequencies programmed into OBE-25 drive the brainwaves from Beta down to a combination of Delta and Theta, stabilize them at Theta, and then drive them to a combination of Delta and Beta (what Robert Monroe termed "Mind Awake, Body Asleep"). Thus, the binaural beats serve first as "disrupting forces" on the b-SoC's (of the various stages of normal sleep), leading to induction of a d-ASC (Discrete Altered State of Consciousness, here an OBE). They then function as "patterning forces" maintaining the d-ASC. The mix ends in a combination of Delta and Theta, from which the brain can naturally create a "deinduction" by transitioning to its habitual pattern of  low frequency brainwaves characteristic of the b-SoC's of sleep.

OBE-25™  is 2 hours long. Listen to it while falling asleep, and put it back on if you wake up in the night, and again if you wake up early in the morning. It must be listened to using stereo earphones for it to work (as the binaural beat phenomenon requires that different tones be presented in the left and right ear). Set the volume extremely soft, just loud enough so that you can hear the white noise. You are encouraged to post your experiences on the Unity's Pulse website (http://unityspulse.ning.com).

WARNING: USE OBE-25™ AND OTHER BINAURAL PRODUCTS AT YOUR OWN RISK. DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM WHILE DRIVING OR OPERATING EQUIPMENT, ESPECIALLY HEAVY EQUIPMENT SUCH AS MOVING VEHICLES, OR WITH OTHER DEVICES THAT MAY INFLUENCE BRAIN-WAVE ACTIVITY. IF YOU HAVE A TENDENCY TOWARDS SEIZURES, AUDITORY DISORDERS OR ADVERSE MENTAL CONDITIONS, DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING YOUR PHYSICIAN. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT YOU EXPERIENCE ANY UNUSUAL PHYSICAL OR MENTAL DISCOMFORT, IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE. DO NOT REPRODUCE BINAURAL PRODUCTS OR USE WITH DOLBY® OR OTHER NOISE REDUCTION SYSTEMS. DOING SO WILL DECREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE AUDITORY SIGNALS. 

DISCLAIMER: LISTENING TO OBE-25™ HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCES OR LUCID DREAMS IN ITS ORIGINATOR. NO PROMISE IS MADE THAT IT WILL RESULT IN OBE'S OR LUCID DREAMS IN OTHER USERS. AT PRESENT, THE MECHANISMS OF OBE'S AND LUCID DREAMS ARE POORLY UNDERSTOOD, AND EVEN THE METHODS THAT HAVE RECEIVED THE MOST RESEARCH (E.G., THOSE OF THE MONROE INSTITUTE) DO NOT INVARIABLY LEAD TO THESE EXPERIENCES IN ALL WHO USE THEM. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IMPORTANT FACTORS IN HAVING OBE'S ARE DETERMINATION, PERSISTENCE, EXPERIMENTATION WITH A VARIETY OF METHODS, AND CULTIVATING A LOVING HEART.

INSTRUCTIONS: OBE-25™ MUST BE LISTENED TO WITH STEREO HEADPHONES AS THE TECHNOLOGY DEPENDS ON EACH EAR HEARING A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FREQUENCY. THIS IS A NO-NONSENSE BINAURAL MIX THAT USES PATTERNS OF AUDIBLE FREQUENCIES AS CARRIERS TO ELICIT INAUDIBLE BRAINWAVE FREQUENCIES. WHITE NOISE IS USED TO THE FACILITATE THE EFFECT. ALTHOUGH YOU MAY HEAR ONLY THE WHITE NOISE, THE OPERATIVE TONES ARE CONTAINED BELOW IT AT AN AMPLITUDE SUFFICIENT FOR THE EFFECT. LISTEN TO 
OBE-25™ AT THE ABSOLUTE SOFTEST LEVEL THAT YOU CAN HEAR, WHICH MAY BE THE SOFTEST VOLUME SETTING ON YOUR DEVICE. LISTEN TO IT WHILE FALLING ASLEEP, UPON WAKING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, OR UPON WAKING UP IN THE MORNING. ITS EFFECTIVENESS HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH LISTENING TO THE ENTIRE 2 HOUR MIX, WITH THE OBE'S PROBABLY BEING EXPERIENCED LATE IN THE MIX. BE AWARE THAT IF YOU OVERDO IT, EXPERIMENTING WITH YOUR BRAINWAVES DURING YOUR BEAUTY REST MAY LEAD TO FATIGUE THE NEXT DAY (THOUGH IT COULD ALSO IN SOME CASES IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP), SO, AS THEY SAY, MODERATION IN ALL THINGS . . .

OBE Training and Research Facilities

"The 9-meter sphere laboratory known as the Projectarium at International Academy of Consciousness (IAC) Campus in Evoramonte, Portugal is the first modern building designed specifically to facilitate out-of-body experience. The Monroe Institute's Nancy Penn Center is another campus specializing on out-of-body experience induction. The Center for Higher Studies of the Consciousness in Brazil is another large OBE training facility.

Olaf Blanke's Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience has become a well-known laboratory for OBE research. Lab facilities include a 192-channel EEG platform and a Virtual-Reality EEG platform allowing to record from 256 scalp electrodes during full immersion in virtual reality.

Historically, the first laboratory research on OBE was conducted by The End of Materialism author Dr. Charles Tart at University of California - Davis in the 60's, whose research papers are available online." From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-body_experience
