Robert Allan Monroe (October 30, 1915March 17, 1995) was an advertising executive from Virginia who became known for his research into altered consciousness. His 1971 book Journeys Out of the Body is credited with popularizing the term "out-of-body experience". In 1978 Monroe founded The Monroe Institute, which carried on his work after his death.
He is also notable as one of the founders of the Jefferson Cable Corporation, the first cable company to cover central Virginia.
According to his own account, while experimenting with sleep-learning in 1958 Monroe experienced an unusual phenomenon, which he described as sensations of paralysis and vibration accompanied by a bright light that appeared to be shining on him from a shallow angle. Monroe goes on to say that this occurred another nine times over the next six weeks, culminating in his first out-of-body experience. Monroe recorded his account in his 1971 book Journeys Out Of The Body and went on to become a prominent researcher in the field of human consciousness.
Monroe later authored two more books, Far Journeys (1985) and Ultimate Journey (1994).

In 1978 he founded The Monroe Institute, a non-profit education and research foundation describing itself as being "devoted to the exploration of human consciousness".

In his last book Ultimate Journey there is a chapter "About the Author". In this chapter it is said that Robert Monroe is directing Monroe Institute - from There, meaning that he is able to take part in his Institute life from his post-death state.
In 1975, Monroe registered a patent for an audio-visual device designed to stimulate brain functions until the left and right hemispheres became synchronized. Monroe held that this state, dubbed Hemi-Sync (hemispherical synchronization), could be used to promote mental well being or to trigger an altered state of consciousness. Monroe's concept was based on an earlier hypothesis known as binaural beats and has since been expanded on a commercial basis by the self help industry.

During the "Project Stargate" studies period into what is now called Remote Viewing, Robert Monroe's interests and research in Out of Body Experience (OOBE) extended into the accepted scientific scope of Remote Viewing. His personal friendship and association with U. S. Army officer, Joseph McMoneagle from Ft. Meade, expanded remote viewing into the remote past and future. McMoneagle would later date and marry Monroe's stepdaughter, Nancy Honeycutt, and become associated with research and study at The Monroe Institute. U.S. Media consultant and White House speech writer, Donald A. Stewart, who was also a personal friend and a former student in media, were influenced and inspired by Monroe, with their mutual interests into parapsychology and psychical research. He later met pioneer remote viewer, psychical-consultant, A. Edward Moch, who dated and married his daughter.

  • @sharonkatner I had a out of body experience in my teens. Found his book one month later and it described exactly what i experienced. Tried his directions in the book and had more out of body experiences but this time was controlling it using his directions. His tapes also teach how to do it and more; how to control, strengthen energy and protect yourself, lot of self improvement for the mind, body, emotions, sprit.... unlimited potential!

  • @sharonkatner I took his home study gateway course starting with discovery tapes. Relaxed and sleep good for first time in many years. Now at age 54 i am re-studing all his tapes and hoping to get to focus 27, the park.

  • Read his book journey's out of the body, it is amazing

  • I bought the Hemi-Sync CD "Deep 10 Relaxation." I like it for going to sleep. It has no ringing to bring you back to wakefulness, which is nice. I wish other products in the series did not do this, except for 'catnap' type products.

  • @sharonkatner you should read his books, I have they are really good. Just reading and understanding the books brought me peace. I also bought one of his hemi Sync CD's. This does work I have a friend who has OBE's I am hoping to try again.
