1983
A serious assessment of a very strange idea.
In 1983, U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M. McDonnell produced an assessment of the Gateway Process: a Monroe Institute training system built around audio exercises, focused attention, and altered states of consciousness.
The memo later surfaced in the CIA’s declassified reading room. It has since traveled the internet as screenshots, excerpts, and extraordinary claims. This edition puts the actual document back at the center.

Questions
Before you enter.
Is this actually a CIA document?
The source memo is an official U.S. Army document that was later released through the CIA’s FOIA reading room. It was written as an assessment of the Gateway Process—not as a statement that the CIA proved its claims.
Is this just the free PDF?
No. The original document remains freely available online. You are paying for the restored typesetting, editorial introduction, annotations, glossary, claim map, source notes, physical production, and convenience of a durable reader’s edition.
Does the book teach the Gateway exercises?
It explains and contextualizes what the report says. It is not an official Monroe Institute workbook or audio program, and it does not include or reproduce Monroe’s proprietary audio exercises.
When will it ship?
Each copy is printed on demand. Production normally takes 3–5 business days before shipment, and most U.S. orders arrive within 12–14 business days. Carrier estimates are not guarantees.
