Monroe Institute Focus Levels

A state of consciousness where the mind is totally awake in the Here/Now within Earth Life space/time system.

A state where the physical body is deeply relaxed, so much so that the physical signals from the five senses are greatly reduced. The mind remains awake and alert — the physical body asleep.

Permits us to program the mind to control physical, mental and emotional functions for use at any moment during the day. This is the state Monroe considered his most important contribution to personal development and he used it until the last day of his life. Called the "access channel" since it gives access to our Total Self in a very special way.

A state of deep bodily relaxation where the mind begins to perceive that which normally would come in a restricted way through our physical signals to the brain. One begins to understand the freedom of human consciousness in relation to the physical body.

Permits having the conscious experience of No-Time, with a progressively greater separation between consciousness and the signals from the physical body — a state similar to phases of deep sleep, but the mind stays awake.

Works in unconditional love energy to increase this vibration in ourselves and use it in daily life with those close to us.

The edge of human perception of time-space, equivalent to very deep sleep, while the mind continues to be totally conscious and active.

The human mind's frontier between time-space and other states of non-physical. A place of random, unfocused and uncontrolled thought, often experienced as a slight shift of vibration.

The human condition immediately after physical death. A very active area, full of human minds that previously were physical and are now in various states of confusion, emotion, feeling stuck, and at times states of waiting or curiosity.

A place of non-physical activity generated by simple or primitive systems of religious belief.

The expression of the beliefs of the main organized religions of recent human history — Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam and others — with several denominations of each.

Narrow areas after death that contain the structures and knowledge of several individualized beliefs based on the direct experience of being. Pure consciousness is the beginning and entry point for the majority of these unique systems.

The edge of human thought capacity in its present state of organization. A reception center for rest and recovery from the trauma of physical death — sometimes known as "the Park" due to its configuration of trees, flowers, walking paths, and benches designed to facilitate transition.

The state to connect with the group of beings Bob Monroe referred to as the Gathering — who are observing the Earth during these times of change.

The state of consciousness to explore the solar system, our galaxy, and our I/There.

A state of consciousness in which it is possible to explore beyond our galaxy, the I/There clusters, and the Cluster Council.
