“At
the fringes of our awareness lies the encounter with infinity. In
the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness live vistas of breathtaking
wonder. These are the realms of wisdom, dreams, visions, and divine
encounter. We visit these regions nightly in sleep, occasionally
in trauma, and sometimes during intense creativity.”
We have been taught that
awareness of nonphysical worlds is reserved for saints, shamans,
and gurus at best and the mentally unbalanced at worst. As a result,
our contemporary world is sadly impoverished as we deny whole ranges
of perception that are our common birthright. The pace of life and
the ceaseless demands of western society all but insure our distraction
from the spiritual quest.
Is it possible for ordinary people to experience inner realms of
wonder? Yes! The Monroe Institute in Faber, Virginia—known
for its pioneering work in the exploration of human consciousness—has
been helping people to do just that for over 30 years. A unique
audio technology, Hemi-Sync®, along with supportive group interactions
and serene environments has enabled thousands to explore the inner
landscape in life-changing ways. Many have discovered perceptions
in just a few days that might otherwise take decades of discipline
by more traditional means.
Paul Rademacher is Executive Director of The
Monroe Institute. His interest in consciousness exploration was
sparked by a mystical experience following a construction accident
in 1981, a profoundly life-altering event that led him to study
theology and then to serve as a Presbyterian minister. For 15 years
in that role, he studied extensively in the fields of consciousness
and spirituality, seeking to bring together traditional meditation
techniques with contemporary expressions of spiritual exploration.
He was a Residential Facilitator at TMI from 2001 until 2007, when
he became Executive Director. He is also a former building contractor,
designer, and journeyman carpenter; an experienced public speaker,
seminar leader, artist, and closet musician; and a husband and father
of three. His book, A Spiritual Hitchhiker’s Guide to
the Universe: Travel Tips for the Spiritually Perplexed, is
scheduled for release on May 22 by Hampton Roads Publishing.
In his presentation, Paul will share his own journey of self-discovery
and describe The Monroe Institute’s methods and effectiveness,
drawing parallels between this modern-day technique and ancient
practices. For a portion of the event, he will be joined by Dawn
A. Tobin, a Raleigh-based Accredited TMI Outreach Facilitator,
who will share her TMI experiences, preview the Saturday workshop
that she will lead, and help address your questions. You’ll
hear samples from Hemi-Sync® programming CDs, as well.
There is a world of wonder awaiting discovery. To enter it is to
see ourselves in an utterly new context and to come awake, perhaps
for the first time.

Beginning
Expanded Awareness ~
An Introduction to Expanded States of Consciousness
Workshop
with
Dawn A. Tobin, Accredited TMI Outreach Facilitator
Saturday,
May 9; 8 a.m.–1 p.m.
Location:
Sheffield Manor Community Clubhouse
9805 Koupela Drive, Raleigh
(Near I-540 & Falls of the Neuse Road)
A
map and directions will be provided when you register.
Fee: $65 in advance; $75 after Thursday’s
lecture
A patented audio guidance technology—Hemi-Sync®—developed
by The Monroe Institute, combined with explanation, discussion, and supportive
group interaction, is used to facilitate your direct personal experience
of the vital internal resources hidden within each human mind. You experience
deep, total relaxation, your thoughts are stilled, and your mind expands
beyond your physical senses, revealing vast new resources of internal
wisdom.
In
this introductory program you’ll have several opportunities via
wireless headphones (provided) to experience Focus
10, a deeply profound internal state that can be described
as “mind awake, body asleep.” While unique to each individual,
this state represents an internal state utilized by remote viewers, and
supports out-of-body exploration. Focus 10 is a platform—a starting
position—from which to explore and develop your new perceptions.
Profound revelations are surprisingly frequent among Monroe participants.
The value is not in the novelty of such experiences, but in the practical
application of expanded awareness to all aspects of living: Hemi-Sync®
facilitates a state of “whole brain function” making available
a broader range of perceptions with which to solve problems, develop creativity,
obtain guidance, relax, reduce pain and stress, focus and concentrate,
meditate, sleep deeply, enhance spiritual being, and even release self-limiting
thoughts and behaviors. You’ll return home revitalized and empowered
with a greater understanding of your total self, and with new resources
and opportunities for the practical purpose of living more fully every
day.
Dawn
was introduced to The Monroe Institute in 1995, when she was captivated
by the book Journeys
Out of the Body by Robert A. Monroe. Wanting to
continue the adventure, she soon found herself attending her first program
at TMI, a residential campus with programs designed to allow others to
explore the vast expanse of their own consciousness in Monroe’s
pioneering footsteps. She found validation of an internal spiritual landscape
free from the boundaries and limitations conceived by society, guided
by internal knowing and direct experience—a catalyst to real empowerment,
answers to life-long questions, the release of self-limiting behaviors
and fears, and the beginning of true freedom.
Dawn is an accredited TMI Outreach Facilitator, a standing member of The
Monroe Institute and TMI’s Professional Division, and a graduate
of multiple residential and off-campus TMI Programs; she is also a program
developer and facilitator for other non-accredited Hemi-Sync®-based
consciousness development programs. Her areas of study include quantum
physics, sacred geometry, spirituality, comparative religion, mysticism,
the paranormal, ancient wisdom, the cosmos, human relations, and other
topics beneficial to acquiring a very balanced understanding of our physical
and non-physical systems. She is a certified Reconnective Healing Practitioner,
is a standing member of The Institute of Noetic Science, and holds a professional
degree in paralegalism.
