1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,729
Allyn Evans: And I was
walking up and down the

2
00:00:01,730 --> 00:00:04,500
aisle at the bookstore, at
the time it was the occult.

3
00:00:05,685 --> 00:00:07,634
because that's what
they named all of this.

4
00:00:08,035 --> 00:00:10,394
So I'm walking down,
what can I read next?

5
00:00:10,394 --> 00:00:11,204
What can I read next?

6
00:00:11,495 --> 00:00:13,805
And I see the book and
the book is The Journey

7
00:00:13,855 --> 00:00:14,685
of Robert Monroe.

8
00:00:16,145 --> 00:00:19,614
And I, I just was in shock
because this is that place.

9
00:00:20,194 --> 00:00:22,334
This was a book about
that place that I had read

10
00:00:22,334 --> 00:00:25,594
about so many years ago and
just didn't really think

11
00:00:25,694 --> 00:00:26,994
I could ever get there.

12
00:00:30,204 --> 00:00:33,404
Rod Bland: My guest today is
Allyn Evans, who's the current

13
00:00:33,404 --> 00:00:35,304
CEO of the Monroe Institute.

14
00:00:35,574 --> 00:00:36,284
Allyn, welcome.

15
00:00:36,324 --> 00:00:37,614
And thanks for
coming on the show.

16
00:00:38,509 --> 00:00:39,249
Allyn Evans: Thank you.

17
00:00:40,429 --> 00:00:41,279
Glad to be here.

18
00:00:42,094 --> 00:00:43,054
Rod Bland: Well, I've
been looking forward to

19
00:00:43,054 --> 00:00:46,724
this conversation and it's
taken us a while to get the

20
00:00:46,894 --> 00:00:50,664
calendars to sync up, but
I'd like to start with some

21
00:00:50,694 --> 00:00:53,294
background of what your
life was like growing up.

22
00:00:53,294 --> 00:00:55,174
And then can you tell us
about what led to your role

23
00:00:55,174 --> 00:00:56,434
at the Monroe Institute?

24
00:00:57,499 --> 00:00:57,929
Allyn Evans: Sure.

25
00:00:58,169 --> 00:01:01,849
So I grew up in Mississippi
in a small town and just a

26
00:01:01,849 --> 00:01:05,834
very solid family of friends
and neighbors environment,

27
00:01:06,584 --> 00:01:09,234
so definitely grew up
with a lot of support,

28
00:01:09,734 --> 00:01:13,774
and as I grew older I started
getting, a young adult, I

29
00:01:13,774 --> 00:01:17,304
started getting very curious
about things I was reading,

30
00:01:17,904 --> 00:01:20,974
and it would be associated
with this concept, just

31
00:01:20,974 --> 00:01:23,234
like what we say here at
Monroe, you're more than your

32
00:01:23,234 --> 00:01:28,144
physical body, is what we ask
you to believe, that, wow,

33
00:01:28,464 --> 00:01:31,034
I am more than my physical
body, and the way I was

34
00:01:31,034 --> 00:01:33,469
raised, I didn't know that.

35
00:01:34,199 --> 00:01:36,189
So I was reading these
books that were just

36
00:01:36,189 --> 00:01:39,909
blowing my mind, you know,
reshaping my paradigm there.

37
00:01:40,349 --> 00:01:43,459
And, um, I started
getting very curious.

38
00:01:43,469 --> 00:01:44,779
So I was always was curious.

39
00:01:45,449 --> 00:01:48,059
So I started seeking and
trying to figure out,

40
00:01:48,059 --> 00:01:51,209
well, if these people that
I'm reading about can do

41
00:01:51,209 --> 00:01:54,029
these things, like be more
intuitive, be more psychic,

42
00:01:54,499 --> 00:01:56,319
um, have these experiences.

43
00:01:56,689 --> 00:01:59,219
Well, I should be
able to, right.

44
00:01:59,259 --> 00:02:00,229
And that's, uh, I was just.

45
00:02:00,749 --> 00:02:03,399
Going after it and trying
to solve that problem and

46
00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:05,169
trying to figure it out.

47
00:02:06,029 --> 00:02:08,919
It dawned on me one time when
I was reading a book from

48
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,749
a psychic who said this is
how you do it and I've been

49
00:02:12,749 --> 00:02:14,329
doing it since I was three.

50
00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:18,389
That, wait a minute,
if you've been doing it

51
00:02:18,389 --> 00:02:21,409
since you were three, how
are you gonna teach me?

52
00:02:22,449 --> 00:02:24,649
Because I haven't been
doing it since I was three.

53
00:02:25,069 --> 00:02:27,359
I'm probably, you know, by
then I was like probably

54
00:02:27,359 --> 00:02:28,819
late 20s early 30s.

55
00:02:29,519 --> 00:02:33,829
So I had some other things
I had to learn how to do to,

56
00:02:33,839 --> 00:02:35,379
you know, to reach that state.

57
00:02:36,009 --> 00:02:39,929
So I started again reading
more books and I found the

58
00:02:39,929 --> 00:02:41,409
Monroe Institute in books.

59
00:02:42,509 --> 00:02:45,499
And when I did that, it was
years before the internet.

60
00:02:46,579 --> 00:02:49,159
So I couldn't just get on here
and Google and go, what is it?

61
00:02:49,729 --> 00:02:53,389
But I just knew it as this
mysterious place somewhere

62
00:02:53,389 --> 00:02:58,099
out there that people seem
to develop these skills that

63
00:02:58,099 --> 00:02:59,619
I was seeking to develop.

64
00:03:00,269 --> 00:03:03,429
So, I, I just, I read the
books, I kept thinking

65
00:03:03,429 --> 00:03:06,349
about it, I then went on
my own self taught path.

66
00:03:06,409 --> 00:03:09,369
I didn't have a teacher,
and it was probably because

67
00:03:09,389 --> 00:03:14,099
I didn't have the courage
to go out and say, Hey, I'm

68
00:03:14,099 --> 00:03:17,359
looking for this, I'm looking
for that teacher, didn't

69
00:03:17,359 --> 00:03:21,489
have the resources to go, you
know, pay one of the authors

70
00:03:21,489 --> 00:03:23,729
and go, Hey, call them up
and pay them to help me.

71
00:03:24,339 --> 00:03:26,509
So I was like, okay,
how do I do this?

72
00:03:26,519 --> 00:03:28,229
So I started with
dream analysis.

73
00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:30,729
And I started meditating.

74
00:03:30,749 --> 00:03:33,819
Now, my meditation practice
was really bizarre at the time

75
00:03:34,469 --> 00:03:37,169
because again, it's me reading
it from books, not really

76
00:03:37,169 --> 00:03:40,729
understanding, but I was
learning how to quiet the mind

77
00:03:40,819 --> 00:03:46,069
and how to get in that very
thoughtful, expanded state.

78
00:03:47,409 --> 00:03:48,929
So I just continued
that practice.

79
00:03:49,009 --> 00:03:51,959
Dream Analysis helped me
learn what I call like a

80
00:03:51,959 --> 00:03:59,179
second language so that I
could interpret and process

81
00:03:59,469 --> 00:04:00,989
nonverbal communication.

82
00:04:01,659 --> 00:04:06,639
Which is typically how you
might receive information,

83
00:04:06,679 --> 00:04:09,769
say, from a guide, in
dreams, for the meditation.

84
00:04:10,839 --> 00:04:12,209
So that was a big step for me.

85
00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:17,189
And then 2008, I was, so fast
forward many years later,

86
00:04:17,509 --> 00:04:21,959
I was with my daughter in a
bookstore, and I was walking

87
00:04:21,969 --> 00:04:23,739
up and down the aisle of
the book, and at the time,

88
00:04:23,769 --> 00:04:26,269
at the bookstore, at the
time it was the occult.

89
00:04:27,454 --> 00:04:29,404
because that's what
they named all of this.

90
00:04:29,804 --> 00:04:32,164
So I'm walking down,
what can I read next?

91
00:04:32,164 --> 00:04:32,974
What can I read next?

92
00:04:33,264 --> 00:04:35,574
And I see the book and
the book is The Journey

93
00:04:35,624 --> 00:04:36,454
of Robert Monroe.

94
00:04:37,914 --> 00:04:41,384
And I, I just was in shock
because this is that place.

95
00:04:41,964 --> 00:04:44,104
This was a book about
that place that I had read

96
00:04:44,104 --> 00:04:47,364
about so many years ago and
just didn't really think

97
00:04:47,464 --> 00:04:48,764
I could ever get there.

98
00:04:49,244 --> 00:04:51,094
So I bought the
book, read the book.

99
00:04:51,104 --> 00:04:54,004
By the end of the book, I had
bought all the Gateway series,

100
00:04:54,004 --> 00:04:55,984
which is a, then it was six.

101
00:04:56,589 --> 00:04:58,739
a package that I could
go through all of these

102
00:04:58,809 --> 00:05:02,719
exercises, which we call
meditations, um, until

103
00:05:03,409 --> 00:05:06,229
explaining the gateway
process, which is our

104
00:05:06,229 --> 00:05:07,889
flagship program here.

105
00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:10,259
Before I was done, I
was like, I don't care

106
00:05:10,259 --> 00:05:11,179
if I have the money.

107
00:05:11,349 --> 00:05:12,589
I don't care how I do it.

108
00:05:12,779 --> 00:05:13,429
I've got to go.

109
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:18,489
And so I was there by March of
2009, taking my first gateway.

110
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:20,789
So that's how I got started.

111
00:05:21,654 --> 00:05:23,274
Rod Bland: That, that
must have been exciting.

112
00:05:23,274 --> 00:05:26,324
I've, I've, uh, one of my
ambitions is to be able

113
00:05:26,364 --> 00:05:28,284
to go and do the gateway
program actually at the

114
00:05:28,284 --> 00:05:30,954
Monroe Institute, not
just the, the virtual one.

115
00:05:31,304 --> 00:05:33,384
And was it, uh, was
it Far Journeys?

116
00:05:33,384 --> 00:05:35,194
Was that the book, the
first book that you read?

117
00:05:36,109 --> 00:05:37,679
Allyn Evans: No, actually
it was the journey

118
00:05:37,709 --> 00:05:38,689
of Robert Monroe.

119
00:05:38,734 --> 00:05:40,244
Rod Bland: Oh, it's called
The Journey of Robert Monroe.

120
00:05:40,244 --> 00:05:42,399
Okay.

121
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:43,629
Allyn Evans: written
by Ron Russell, who

122
00:05:43,629 --> 00:05:44,599
was a friend of his.

123
00:05:45,149 --> 00:05:48,789
And what I love about the
book is it, it's a very

124
00:05:48,809 --> 00:05:50,619
real explanation of the man.

125
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,159
So it introduces weaknesses,
strengths, and then the

126
00:05:55,159 --> 00:05:56,879
story of how it all unfolded.

127
00:05:57,814 --> 00:05:58,434
Rod Bland: Oh, interesting.

128
00:05:58,434 --> 00:05:59,774
I've never run
across that one.

129
00:05:59,804 --> 00:06:02,274
And I've read all of Robert
Monroe's books like several

130
00:06:02,469 --> 00:06:02,899
Allyn Evans: Right.

131
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:03,789
I've read those.

132
00:06:03,794 --> 00:06:04,244
Rod Bland: Yeah.

133
00:06:04,384 --> 00:06:04,784
Yeah.

134
00:06:05,129 --> 00:06:06,089
Allyn Evans: for
me came later.

135
00:06:06,299 --> 00:06:08,029
I wasn't interested
in out of body.

136
00:06:08,369 --> 00:06:11,809
I didn't even know, when I
first showed up here, I wasn't

137
00:06:11,899 --> 00:06:13,289
concentrating on that at all.

138
00:06:14,329 --> 00:06:16,479
And then the other thing I
was telling Scooter McMonigle

139
00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:19,019
today, who's married to
Joe McMonigle, who's also

140
00:06:19,019 --> 00:06:24,429
Bob Monroe's, uh, daughter,
um, I said, you know, when

141
00:06:24,429 --> 00:06:27,959
I came here, Joe was here,
and he came to speak, and

142
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:29,309
I had no idea who he was.

143
00:06:30,099 --> 00:06:31,829
And there were people
in the room at Gateway

144
00:06:31,829 --> 00:06:33,099
that just went crazy.

145
00:06:33,429 --> 00:06:34,749
And I'm going,
who is this guy?

146
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,549
And he was a remote viewer
001 for a government

147
00:06:39,559 --> 00:06:43,099
program in the 70s, I
believe is when it started.

148
00:06:43,709 --> 00:06:48,609
So again, I was so, I had this
tunnel vision about developing

149
00:06:48,609 --> 00:06:51,749
my intuitive abilities that
I didn't focus on the other

150
00:06:51,749 --> 00:06:53,349
things that this place offers.

151
00:06:53,529 --> 00:06:55,299
Rod Bland: You went to
the gateway program.

152
00:06:55,309 --> 00:06:57,689
So can you tell us about your
experience going through that?

153
00:06:57,764 --> 00:06:59,264
Okay.

154
00:06:59,359 --> 00:07:01,009
Allyn Evans: it's
interesting because I've

155
00:07:01,299 --> 00:07:02,329
been a Gateway trainer.

156
00:07:02,899 --> 00:07:06,189
For several years, and I'm not
doing that now, but, um, about

157
00:07:06,189 --> 00:07:08,769
a decade, I was doing Gateway.

158
00:07:09,539 --> 00:07:13,259
And, from my own experience,
I was one of the people that

159
00:07:13,669 --> 00:07:17,899
I was having, I had, um, let's
say I had experiences, I knew

160
00:07:17,899 --> 00:07:21,109
something was happening on
a deeper level, and I also

161
00:07:21,109 --> 00:07:24,059
realized it once I left, but
it wasn't the spectacular

162
00:07:24,059 --> 00:07:27,189
experiences that you do hear
about some people having.

163
00:07:27,799 --> 00:07:31,069
So you'll find it, at least
from my observation, it

164
00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:32,659
happens one or two ways.

165
00:07:33,404 --> 00:07:35,924
And so some people will
just have these incredible

166
00:07:35,924 --> 00:07:38,764
meditations that they're
talking to deceased loved

167
00:07:38,764 --> 00:07:42,144
ones and, uh, you know, having
these connections to guidance

168
00:07:42,144 --> 00:07:45,934
that they can actually have
some kind of real, uh, feel

169
00:07:45,934 --> 00:07:47,104
like a real experience.

170
00:07:47,144 --> 00:07:50,994
And then there's others
who it's more subtle and

171
00:07:50,994 --> 00:07:54,974
it's more of an opening and
receiving, but maybe you just,

172
00:07:55,014 --> 00:07:58,484
in one meditation, you see a
symbol of a rose, let's say.

173
00:07:58,834 --> 00:08:01,414
You're not over there talking
to your deceased loved one.

174
00:08:01,779 --> 00:08:04,349
But that rose has a very
powerful message for you.

175
00:08:04,429 --> 00:08:07,499
So I was more on that
track when I first showed

176
00:08:07,499 --> 00:08:09,819
up, but again, I knew
it was very important.

177
00:08:09,869 --> 00:08:12,889
And I had been listening to
those CDs that, yeah, they

178
00:08:12,889 --> 00:08:17,419
were CDs at the time, um,
before I got there and was

179
00:08:17,419 --> 00:08:19,099
already having things happen.

180
00:08:19,944 --> 00:08:22,234
Rod Bland: I've got a number
of other questions here.

181
00:08:22,294 --> 00:08:24,434
Tell us about your, your
meditation practice.

182
00:08:24,434 --> 00:08:26,994
Cause you just mentioned that
briefly and you, and you start

183
00:08:26,994 --> 00:08:28,454
off with a, a bizarre one.

184
00:08:28,454 --> 00:08:30,824
Can you, what's your current
meditation practice look like?

185
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:33,259
Allyn Evans: I would say,
well, this was in the

186
00:08:33,259 --> 00:08:35,049
beginning when I didn't
know what I was doing.

187
00:08:35,089 --> 00:08:37,219
It was just more finding time.

188
00:08:37,719 --> 00:08:39,799
I tended to like to do
that in the bedroom.

189
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:40,629
That was a private.

190
00:08:42,089 --> 00:08:45,789
And I would just try to go for
extended periods of time, uh,

191
00:08:45,859 --> 00:08:48,919
either doing something like
a Wayne Dyer would say with

192
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:53,289
the, the alming or the toning,
or again, trying to just have

193
00:08:53,289 --> 00:08:58,569
an affirmation that helped
me stay focused on either the

194
00:08:58,569 --> 00:09:00,189
affirmation or clear my head.

195
00:09:00,819 --> 00:09:03,779
Once I found the, the
technology, Hemisync,

196
00:09:04,199 --> 00:09:07,119
then the tool, that
tool helped me do that.

197
00:09:07,119 --> 00:09:10,299
And also because the
meditations or exercises

198
00:09:10,779 --> 00:09:14,109
are purpose driven, very
instructional, then that was

199
00:09:14,109 --> 00:09:15,229
my, you know, the next step.

200
00:09:15,229 --> 00:09:16,719
And that's what
I still do today.

201
00:09:17,384 --> 00:09:17,654
Rod Bland: Yeah.

202
00:09:17,664 --> 00:09:19,414
I find them really,
really useful as well.

203
00:09:19,424 --> 00:09:24,014
Sometimes as if I just don't
want to sit down and try to

204
00:09:24,014 --> 00:09:28,344
be quiet and, and the, uh,
the HemiSync is good for

205
00:09:28,344 --> 00:09:31,274
if you've, if my, I've got the
um, the rabbit brain going,

206
00:09:31,274 --> 00:09:34,324
I call it, then, then that
really just quietens things

207
00:09:34,324 --> 00:09:36,674
down and you can actually have
a bit of peace for a while,

208
00:09:36,674 --> 00:09:37,774
which is really, really good.

209
00:09:38,764 --> 00:09:41,454
So after you did that, how did
you go from actually attending

210
00:09:41,454 --> 00:09:44,554
the, the gateway program to
becoming a trainer to then

211
00:09:44,684 --> 00:09:45,734
like your current role?

212
00:09:45,754 --> 00:09:46,454
How did that evolve?

213
00:09:47,339 --> 00:09:47,769
Allyn Evans: Right.

214
00:09:47,769 --> 00:09:51,319
So when you, when you take
two programs, then you have

215
00:09:51,319 --> 00:09:53,629
an option if you're interested
in helping, you know,

216
00:09:53,629 --> 00:09:56,249
spread this out to others
or teach it or train it.

217
00:09:56,649 --> 00:09:58,469
We have a program
called Outreach.

218
00:09:58,999 --> 00:10:02,539
where you can teach basically
the first two days of Gateway.

219
00:10:02,659 --> 00:10:05,059
It's a little bit different,
but it's, it's pri it's

220
00:10:05,059 --> 00:10:06,829
similar in the material.

221
00:10:07,239 --> 00:10:08,889
And so I did that
the next year.

222
00:10:08,889 --> 00:10:11,819
I signed up, went through
the program, and then

223
00:10:11,824 --> 00:10:15,019
the following year I was
one of the, um, I did

224
00:10:15,019 --> 00:10:17,329
more outreach programs
than anybody in the us.

225
00:10:18,969 --> 00:10:22,789
So that made me, um, they
looked at me and said,

226
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:23,589
Hmm, what's she doing?

227
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:24,269
Because our U.

228
00:10:24,269 --> 00:10:24,459
S.

229
00:10:24,609 --> 00:10:27,839
outreach trainers tend to
have trouble filling seats.

230
00:10:29,029 --> 00:10:31,119
And so then I was asked
to be the outreach

231
00:10:31,199 --> 00:10:32,269
trainer, co trainer.

232
00:10:33,249 --> 00:10:35,799
And then from that
evolved Gateway in a

233
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:37,139
few years after that.

234
00:10:37,794 --> 00:10:39,784
Rod Bland: Okay, so you
really took to it like

235
00:10:39,784 --> 00:10:41,244
a, like a fish to water.

236
00:10:42,239 --> 00:10:43,839
Allyn Evans: Yeah, you know,
it's interesting because

237
00:10:43,859 --> 00:10:45,629
over the years, I have

238
00:10:45,729 --> 00:10:48,749
and sometimes I've chided
myself about this, about being

239
00:10:48,899 --> 00:10:52,319
so narrowly focused on Monroe.

240
00:10:53,824 --> 00:10:57,284
Monroe Sound Sciences,
our evolution of that, um,

241
00:10:57,454 --> 00:11:01,284
that I maybe I was missing
other teachings that would

242
00:11:01,284 --> 00:11:04,514
have been very helpful to
either to me or to others.

243
00:11:04,514 --> 00:11:07,794
I teach, but I realize
now sitting here.

244
00:11:07,794 --> 00:11:10,784
That was probably all by
design because that's where

245
00:11:10,784 --> 00:11:11,934
I needed to be focused.

246
00:11:11,954 --> 00:11:14,934
So that could be a just
very clear channel.

247
00:11:15,644 --> 00:11:19,294
of this process, this
work, the sound technology.

248
00:11:20,824 --> 00:11:22,854
Rod Bland: How's your
view of consciousness and

249
00:11:22,854 --> 00:11:23,744
consciousness studies?

250
00:11:23,744 --> 00:11:26,384
How's that evolved since
you've been involved with

251
00:11:26,394 --> 00:11:27,544
the Monroe Institute?

252
00:11:29,144 --> 00:11:30,914
Allyn Evans: That's an
interesting question.

253
00:11:31,444 --> 00:11:33,834
I mean, as far as
research, we're getting

254
00:11:33,834 --> 00:11:35,364
more and more active.

255
00:11:35,394 --> 00:11:38,964
We just recently hired, as
of January this year, hired

256
00:11:38,964 --> 00:11:41,584
a full time researcher,
co director of research.

257
00:11:42,064 --> 00:11:45,264
And before that, we were
usually having, well, I'd

258
00:11:45,274 --> 00:11:47,709
say for five years before
that, we had one researcher,

259
00:11:47,709 --> 00:11:50,967
also co director of research,
who would only be able to

260
00:11:50,967 --> 00:11:52,744
give us one day a week.

261
00:11:53,514 --> 00:11:56,574
So, it's exciting now to
really be able to focus on

262
00:11:56,574 --> 00:11:59,044
this and to look and see
what's happening in the

263
00:11:59,044 --> 00:12:02,284
brain when we're doing these
meditations, when we're

264
00:12:02,284 --> 00:12:03,684
using the sound technology.

265
00:12:03,964 --> 00:12:05,794
We've got a program
called Discovery.

266
00:12:05,834 --> 00:12:07,794
We've got a few others
that we now use the

267
00:12:07,794 --> 00:12:09,774
MindMirror EEG system.

268
00:12:09,844 --> 00:12:10,594
Are you familiar with

269
00:12:10,794 --> 00:12:11,854
Rod Bland: I have
not heard about that.

270
00:12:11,854 --> 00:12:12,834
So tell us about that too.

271
00:12:13,804 --> 00:12:15,824
Allyn Evans: So, that
was created by Max Cade.

272
00:12:16,344 --> 00:12:19,094
And it's a way to, it's a,
the, I think it's a four

273
00:12:19,094 --> 00:12:21,764
channel, but it's a way to
measure the pat, like what's

274
00:12:21,764 --> 00:12:22,594
going on in the brain.

275
00:12:22,744 --> 00:12:25,984
He was also innovative like
Bob Monroe, started around

276
00:12:25,984 --> 00:12:29,484
that same time, and he was
like, okay, something is

277
00:12:29,484 --> 00:12:33,344
happening in a healer's mind,
a psychic's mind, a medium's

278
00:12:33,344 --> 00:12:37,494
mind, that's different, that's
happening to just every,

279
00:12:37,514 --> 00:12:38,734
you know, everyday folks.

280
00:12:39,344 --> 00:12:41,114
So he wanted to map that out.

281
00:12:41,634 --> 00:12:43,254
And so he invited
these people, these

282
00:12:43,254 --> 00:12:45,314
individuals to his place.

283
00:12:45,994 --> 00:12:49,824
And he used his Mind Mirror
EEG system, and he discovered

284
00:12:49,824 --> 00:12:52,534
that there were certain
patterns, brainwave patterns,

285
00:12:52,974 --> 00:12:56,524
that these particular
individuals tended to have

286
00:12:56,544 --> 00:12:57,744
or to be able to reach.

287
00:12:58,624 --> 00:13:02,034
So, what we can do now is
use that, those patterns,

288
00:13:02,704 --> 00:13:05,914
when we're in meditations,
using sound technology or

289
00:13:05,914 --> 00:13:11,914
without sound technology,
and we can see that we're

290
00:13:12,134 --> 00:13:13,104
getting those patterns.

291
00:13:13,769 --> 00:13:16,789
So, uh, mediums pattern,
for example, very common

292
00:13:16,789 --> 00:13:19,149
for a medium is called
the awakened mind state.

293
00:13:19,869 --> 00:13:21,659
And so when I'm saying
patterns, that means there's

294
00:13:21,659 --> 00:13:23,669
a certain amount of theta,
there's a certain amount

295
00:13:23,669 --> 00:13:26,349
of delta, certain amount of
beta, which is where you're

296
00:13:26,469 --> 00:13:27,739
more conscious and alert.

297
00:13:28,529 --> 00:13:33,299
And they stay in a specific
shape, and that's when

298
00:13:33,299 --> 00:13:37,859
they can tap into source
guidance information.

299
00:13:38,749 --> 00:13:42,049
So, his theory was, the
more people that can learn

300
00:13:42,049 --> 00:13:44,139
how to do this, that he
could train to do this.

301
00:13:45,134 --> 00:13:47,324
Then the happier,
more successful, more

302
00:13:47,324 --> 00:13:50,364
prosperous, more peaceful
individuals would be.

303
00:13:51,534 --> 00:13:54,284
So now we have one of the
individuals who's taking on

304
00:13:54,294 --> 00:13:57,864
the MindMirror work, Judith
Pennington, who trains courses

305
00:13:57,864 --> 00:14:01,644
here with us, and we use the
MindMirror, and she's just

306
00:14:01,654 --> 00:14:05,124
blown away by what happens
here with the brainwave

307
00:14:05,134 --> 00:14:08,534
patterns and what we're able
to reach and demonstrate.

308
00:14:09,494 --> 00:14:13,394
Interestingly enough, they
discovered that when people

309
00:14:13,404 --> 00:14:16,774
have out of body experiences,
the brainwaves collapse.

310
00:14:17,904 --> 00:14:19,734
So it's literally
like they're gone.

311
00:14:20,294 --> 00:14:20,734
Rod Bland: Wow.

312
00:14:20,934 --> 00:14:24,134
Allyn Evans: And so that's
been a fun thing to see.

313
00:14:24,644 --> 00:14:26,074
Rod Bland: So that's a
revelation that's only

314
00:14:26,074 --> 00:14:27,304
come about just recently.

315
00:14:27,334 --> 00:14:29,524
This, the collapsing
of the brainwaves.

316
00:14:30,304 --> 00:14:31,574
Allyn Evans: That's my
understanding that it's

317
00:14:31,584 --> 00:14:35,884
something she realized here as
she was gathering this data.

318
00:14:36,049 --> 00:14:37,839
Rod Bland: I think it was
in Daryl Anka's book, who

319
00:14:37,839 --> 00:14:42,639
channels Bashar and I'm,
I'm sure in his book, they

320
00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:45,369
mentioned how he was, they
hooked him up to a machine

321
00:14:45,369 --> 00:14:50,879
and, and it was very
consistent, like the the, the

322
00:14:51,129 --> 00:14:54,069
pattern that his brain went
into a very sort of almost

323
00:14:54,119 --> 00:14:57,089
like a deep sleep pattern, but
he was, he was, he's conscious

324
00:14:57,439 --> 00:15:00,879
whenever he would sort of go
into the channeling because

325
00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:04,509
he's like a more of a sort
of a semi conscious channel.

326
00:15:05,249 --> 00:15:07,039
Allyn Evans: That's the
interesting part, because

327
00:15:07,439 --> 00:15:11,329
when you're doing this and you
have a big band of theta, you

328
00:15:11,329 --> 00:15:13,749
know, you're really in that
theta state, a lot of people

329
00:15:13,749 --> 00:15:14,669
can't, aren't conscious.

330
00:15:14,949 --> 00:15:17,189
They, they haven't had
training to be consciously

331
00:15:17,189 --> 00:15:18,319
aware of what's happening.

332
00:15:18,619 --> 00:15:21,199
And that's when we're in
those, uh, like those states

333
00:15:21,239 --> 00:15:22,919
between sleep and awake.

334
00:15:23,594 --> 00:15:25,814
Uh, when we're, when we're
having access to that

335
00:15:25,814 --> 00:15:29,194
subconscious information,
and so it's very, it's a

336
00:15:29,244 --> 00:15:31,934
good way, you know, it's
good to learn that because

337
00:15:31,934 --> 00:15:34,774
you can access more of your
total self, in my opinion,

338
00:15:35,074 --> 00:15:36,414
if you're able to do that.

339
00:15:36,924 --> 00:15:39,944
And interestingly enough, I
did the sound technology for

340
00:15:39,944 --> 00:15:42,654
10 years before I actually had
my own mind mirror session.

341
00:15:43,434 --> 00:15:46,554
and, and it, it was a
little nerve wracking for

342
00:15:46,554 --> 00:15:49,964
me because it was in a
conference room straight.

343
00:15:49,964 --> 00:15:51,524
I was sitting a
straight back chair.

344
00:15:51,554 --> 00:15:55,244
My back was sore, and
they were asking me

345
00:15:55,244 --> 00:15:56,354
to do this on demand.

346
00:15:57,524 --> 00:16:00,124
And a board member was
there doing it with me,

347
00:16:00,254 --> 00:16:01,344
and I was a trainer.

348
00:16:01,354 --> 00:16:02,924
I was like, oh,
what if I blow this?

349
00:16:02,964 --> 00:16:04,434
You know, I didn't really
know what I was doing, but

350
00:16:04,434 --> 00:16:06,784
I was like, oh my, oh, this
could be just terrible.

351
00:16:07,214 --> 00:16:08,154
I did it anyway.

352
00:16:08,744 --> 00:16:11,594
So within the first, it
was a 20 minute session.

353
00:16:11,664 --> 00:16:14,384
She verbally guided it
so she could later ask

354
00:16:14,384 --> 00:16:17,684
what was happening during
the specific parts.

355
00:16:18,204 --> 00:16:21,454
As we looked at the pattern,
you know, unfolding.

356
00:16:22,634 --> 00:16:26,294
So she said that she
reported that I was able

357
00:16:26,294 --> 00:16:29,284
to go to a theta state, a
really heavy band of theta

358
00:16:29,604 --> 00:16:33,064
within less than 30 seconds
without sound technology.

359
00:16:34,174 --> 00:16:37,424
So that told me, wow, okay,
this stuff is doing something.

360
00:16:37,684 --> 00:16:41,304
You know, it's helped
me do this very easily.

361
00:16:41,719 --> 00:16:44,929
And then I maintain the
Awaken Mind state, which is

362
00:16:44,929 --> 00:16:48,259
the one the mediums and the
healers tend to first go to.

363
00:16:48,769 --> 00:16:52,589
And I stayed in that for
97 percent of a 20 minute

364
00:16:52,589 --> 00:16:54,479
session when I was in pain.

365
00:16:54,779 --> 00:16:56,749
And there were people
walking around in bright

366
00:16:56,749 --> 00:16:58,579
lights and I was sitting
in a straight back chair.

367
00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:03,669
Then the Evolved Brain is the
one where you are starting

368
00:17:03,669 --> 00:17:06,099
to possibly be channeling.

369
00:17:06,554 --> 00:17:09,454
Or, you know, making some
kind of stronger connection

370
00:17:09,874 --> 00:17:12,884
to more than what's right
around you, your total self.

371
00:17:13,654 --> 00:17:15,154
I hit that 30
percent of the time.

372
00:17:16,534 --> 00:17:19,854
Again, I, I believe it's
because of the training that I

373
00:17:19,864 --> 00:17:23,454
have done previously and the,
the, you know, using the sound

374
00:17:23,454 --> 00:17:24,974
technology on a regular basis.

375
00:17:25,654 --> 00:17:27,554
But the interesting thing
was, and this is what

376
00:17:27,734 --> 00:17:28,864
kind of blew my mind.

377
00:17:29,424 --> 00:17:31,614
When we're, when we were
talking, like after it was

378
00:17:31,614 --> 00:17:35,074
over, the board member went
first, then it was my turn.

379
00:17:35,114 --> 00:17:37,194
So he's just has this
amazing experience.

380
00:17:37,704 --> 00:17:39,464
I call them bells and
whistles where it's just

381
00:17:39,464 --> 00:17:43,304
like, you know, talking to
again, maybe an angel or a

382
00:17:43,304 --> 00:17:47,064
deceased loved one or maybe
there's a bunny rabbit that's

383
00:17:47,294 --> 00:17:48,854
talking to you as your guide.

384
00:17:49,369 --> 00:17:51,839
And so he's, you know, telling
about this fabulous thing that

385
00:17:51,839 --> 00:17:53,229
just happened in 20 minutes.

386
00:17:53,239 --> 00:17:56,619
And I'm going, I'm thinking
to myself, uh, that's

387
00:17:56,619 --> 00:17:58,519
not what happened here.

388
00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:01,969
And I really started sinking
down in my chair because I was

389
00:18:01,989 --> 00:18:04,129
like, Oh, this is not good.

390
00:18:04,339 --> 00:18:06,689
It was like my
fears had come true.

391
00:18:07,479 --> 00:18:11,279
So she started talking to me
about it and she kept asking

392
00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:13,859
me questions and I was going,
no, nothing really happened.

393
00:18:13,859 --> 00:18:19,779
No, no, because I didn't have,
you know, with anything, not,

394
00:18:19,809 --> 00:18:22,639
you know, not auditory, not
visually, you know, nothing.

395
00:18:23,569 --> 00:18:25,609
finally, she said, okay,
what was happening right

396
00:18:25,609 --> 00:18:28,639
here when I was talking
about opening the door?

397
00:18:29,709 --> 00:18:31,619
And all of a sudden I
was like, wait a minute.

398
00:18:31,749 --> 00:18:37,209
That is when I felt like I
was in this complete state

399
00:18:37,299 --> 00:18:38,929
of unconditional love.

400
00:18:39,429 --> 00:18:42,669
And I was so supported and
I was one with the universe,

401
00:18:42,699 --> 00:18:44,439
you know, just kind of
having that kind of moment.

402
00:18:44,699 --> 00:18:47,209
And she goes, okay,
that that's evolved.

403
00:18:47,889 --> 00:18:49,409
That's the Evolved Mind state.

404
00:18:49,449 --> 00:18:51,939
And that's when you
opened up to that

405
00:18:52,079 --> 00:18:53,289
channeling possibility.

406
00:18:54,449 --> 00:18:56,769
Well, I was, you know,
I just, I was going to

407
00:18:56,769 --> 00:18:57,699
discard the whole thing.

408
00:18:58,234 --> 00:19:00,754
So what, why it changed
the way I look at this is

409
00:19:00,754 --> 00:19:04,084
because I realized, yes, the
bells and whistles are fun.

410
00:19:04,394 --> 00:19:07,214
It's nice to have these
experiences, but that's

411
00:19:07,214 --> 00:19:08,434
not really why we're here.

412
00:19:08,454 --> 00:19:09,664
That's not what we're doing.

413
00:19:10,414 --> 00:19:12,284
We're wanting to
reach that space.

414
00:19:12,364 --> 00:19:16,284
That's very dark, very
quiet, very still, and

415
00:19:16,304 --> 00:19:17,594
just filling us with.

416
00:19:17,929 --> 00:19:19,009
Love and support.

417
00:19:20,184 --> 00:19:22,914
Rod Bland: So was that one
of the sort of more defining

418
00:19:22,944 --> 00:19:26,434
moments that you've had or
have you had any other um,

419
00:19:27,014 --> 00:19:30,044
moments or experiences that
have really changed your

420
00:19:30,074 --> 00:19:32,664
perspective or what you
think about consciousness?

421
00:19:33,429 --> 00:19:36,329
Allyn Evans: That certainly
did, uh, change my perspective

422
00:19:36,329 --> 00:19:39,019
again, because I just thought
it was more about what I

423
00:19:39,019 --> 00:19:43,929
was receiving in a, in a two
way communication system.

424
00:19:44,709 --> 00:19:46,409
So, yes, that,
that certainly did.

425
00:19:46,409 --> 00:19:50,859
And then, um, I've had
other experiences that,

426
00:19:51,179 --> 00:19:53,199
it's interesting, it's
more like breadcrumbs.

427
00:19:54,629 --> 00:19:57,309
And when you, that's why we
always say please journal,

428
00:19:57,449 --> 00:20:01,529
journal everything, because
when you look back you see

429
00:20:01,549 --> 00:20:04,629
that you're, you're given
little hints and breadcrumbs

430
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,039
to help you follow the
path, the path that's yours

431
00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:11,339
to follow, even though
you might be afraid, even

432
00:20:11,339 --> 00:20:14,059
though you might have,
you know, fears about,

433
00:20:14,549 --> 00:20:16,989
um, your ability to do it.

434
00:20:17,509 --> 00:20:19,719
Whether you think, think
you have the resources,

435
00:20:19,749 --> 00:20:22,159
whether you think that you
have the skills, whatever

436
00:20:22,159 --> 00:20:26,259
it is, um, but you can see
that you're, it's a, it's

437
00:20:26,259 --> 00:20:29,229
an unfolding of a jigsaw
puzzle, and sometimes it

438
00:20:29,229 --> 00:20:31,189
takes years before you see it.

439
00:20:31,209 --> 00:20:35,059
And so me sitting in this
position, I definitely had

440
00:20:35,059 --> 00:20:40,079
a lot of those moments where
I was like, okay, now, why

441
00:20:40,079 --> 00:20:42,279
did I have that meditation
and that experience?

442
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,919
when there's no way that
I would end up in this

443
00:20:46,929 --> 00:20:50,649
position or, um, disinvolved.

444
00:20:51,649 --> 00:20:54,219
I remember reading my
journals after the first

445
00:20:54,219 --> 00:20:56,559
year of me starting this
process, coming to Monroe.

446
00:20:57,579 --> 00:20:59,479
I had not, I had
totally forgotten.

447
00:21:00,134 --> 00:21:02,434
That I had been receiving
information because I'm

448
00:21:02,444 --> 00:21:06,094
auditory, so I hear things,
um, that I've been receiving

449
00:21:06,094 --> 00:21:09,264
information that the
Monroe Institute needed me.

450
00:21:10,864 --> 00:21:12,544
And I was embarrassed
to write, I would say,

451
00:21:12,544 --> 00:21:14,104
okay, this is crazy.

452
00:21:14,134 --> 00:21:16,524
I'm going to write it
down anyway, but I keep

453
00:21:16,554 --> 00:21:17,644
getting this message.

454
00:21:18,494 --> 00:21:20,544
And I'd forgotten it.

455
00:21:20,774 --> 00:21:23,744
Well, a year later, I'm
reading my journal, and

456
00:21:23,844 --> 00:21:26,424
I am now leading the
local chapter network.

457
00:21:26,784 --> 00:21:29,084
Which was now the
Monroe Community Groups.

458
00:21:29,594 --> 00:21:32,834
I'm the chair of launching
the entire project worldwide.

459
00:21:34,804 --> 00:21:36,764
When I was getting the
messages, I was a stay

460
00:21:36,764 --> 00:21:39,524
at home mom with some
random contracts, feeling

461
00:21:39,524 --> 00:21:42,194
very underutilized and
wanting to be of service.

462
00:21:42,939 --> 00:21:47,889
So that, that was a, that's
when I realized, or I

463
00:21:47,889 --> 00:21:50,329
guess a way for me to look
back and go, you know, we

464
00:21:50,329 --> 00:21:55,219
really are supported, we
really are guided, and we

465
00:21:55,219 --> 00:21:56,219
just have to pay attention.

466
00:21:56,664 --> 00:21:57,024
Rod Bland: Hmm.

467
00:21:57,254 --> 00:21:58,264
But pay attention.

468
00:21:58,264 --> 00:21:58,464
Yeah.

469
00:21:58,464 --> 00:22:00,194
Sometimes the messages
are subtle, aren't they?

470
00:22:01,249 --> 00:22:04,069
Allyn Evans: Ah, yes, that's
why you write them down too,

471
00:22:04,069 --> 00:22:08,469
because sometimes it makes
zero sense, because maybe it

472
00:22:08,469 --> 00:22:09,989
is just a symbol of a rose,

473
00:22:10,029 --> 00:22:13,079
it sometimes is like a
big jigsaw puzzle with all

474
00:22:13,079 --> 00:22:14,159
these tiny little pieces.

475
00:22:14,739 --> 00:22:16,619
that you're putting
together over time.

476
00:22:16,619 --> 00:22:17,889
And again, it
could be 10 years.

477
00:22:17,919 --> 00:22:18,819
It could be 20 years.

478
00:22:19,754 --> 00:22:20,684
It could be one year.

479
00:22:21,714 --> 00:22:23,884
Rod Bland: Did you ever
get to meet Bob Monroe

480
00:22:23,884 --> 00:22:24,844
before he passed on?

481
00:22:24,844 --> 00:22:25,184
Oh

482
00:22:25,804 --> 00:22:28,644
Allyn Evans: Now, he
taught in 1995 and

483
00:22:28,714 --> 00:22:29,874
Rod Bland: was a
fair while after.

484
00:22:29,954 --> 00:22:32,974
Allyn Evans: yeah, I was
2009 when I showed up.

485
00:22:33,054 --> 00:22:33,374
Rod Bland: Yeah.

486
00:22:34,114 --> 00:22:36,754
Um, there was someone
else whose books I really

487
00:22:36,754 --> 00:22:38,434
enjoyed was Bruce Moen.

488
00:22:39,144 --> 00:22:43,604
I think he was an attend, I
know he was still an attendee

489
00:22:43,634 --> 00:22:47,114
there after Bob passed on,
and then after his wife,

490
00:22:47,124 --> 00:22:48,724
was his wife Nancy, I think?

491
00:22:50,334 --> 00:22:54,164
Was he someone that was
around during your time or?

492
00:22:55,264 --> 00:22:55,674
Allyn Evans: no.

493
00:22:55,694 --> 00:22:56,054
Rod Bland: Yep.

494
00:22:56,324 --> 00:22:56,714
Yeah.

495
00:22:56,784 --> 00:22:56,984
Yeah.

496
00:22:56,984 --> 00:22:59,554
There's, there's, there's
like, they're all, they're

497
00:22:59,554 --> 00:23:00,414
all veterans, aren't they?

498
00:23:00,414 --> 00:23:02,864
It's such a old, I guess
Bob's books are like

499
00:23:02,864 --> 00:23:03,854
written in the 80s.

500
00:23:03,884 --> 00:23:06,204
Uh, that's, yeah, we're
going back a fair way.

501
00:23:07,034 --> 00:23:10,364
Um, and then the other
one, the more, I think

502
00:23:10,364 --> 00:23:12,544
it was actually, it was
Tom Campbell's books.

503
00:23:12,564 --> 00:23:16,514
Um, that's, uh, that's,
I think that's how many

504
00:23:16,514 --> 00:23:18,144
of us found out about
the Monroe Institute.

505
00:23:19,314 --> 00:23:20,284
Allyn Evans: And
I do know Tom.

506
00:23:20,284 --> 00:23:21,284
He's a wonderful man.

507
00:23:21,574 --> 00:23:23,504
Rod Bland: Yeah, he's very,
very generous with his time.

508
00:23:23,504 --> 00:23:26,144
He's, I think he's probably
one of the most widely, if not

509
00:23:26,154 --> 00:23:29,504
the most widely interviewed
person who I know of that's

510
00:23:29,504 --> 00:23:30,564
been at the Monroe Institute.

511
00:23:31,084 --> 00:23:32,274
He's very, very generous.

512
00:23:32,994 --> 00:23:36,044
So the, the focus, uh, the,
when I first heard about focus

513
00:23:36,074 --> 00:23:39,434
levels was actually in Bruce
Mowen's books, which, uh, was

514
00:23:39,434 --> 00:23:41,114
at voyages into the afterlife.

515
00:23:41,604 --> 00:23:45,154
And so could you tell us
a little bit about, uh,

516
00:23:45,164 --> 00:23:48,214
what the focus levels are
and, you know, how that

517
00:23:48,214 --> 00:23:49,314
fits into the programs?

518
00:23:50,594 --> 00:23:52,914
Allyn Evans: So this is,
it's really the system

519
00:23:52,914 --> 00:23:54,344
that Bob Monroe created.

520
00:23:54,444 --> 00:23:56,534
And he, it was like a
map of consciousness.

521
00:23:56,934 --> 00:23:59,064
So what he discovered is
when we were putting together

522
00:23:59,064 --> 00:24:02,759
different frequencies,
People tended to have similar

523
00:24:02,769 --> 00:24:07,049
experiences, and not, not
similar outcomes, but the

524
00:24:07,049 --> 00:24:10,819
first one, focus 10, and
I say first, they're not,

525
00:24:10,829 --> 00:24:14,459
there's no order, and Bob,
Bob Monroe tried to help

526
00:24:14,459 --> 00:24:17,569
it not be hierarchical,
hierarchical because of the,

527
00:24:17,719 --> 00:24:20,839
um, because he didn't want it
Look that way, but when you

528
00:24:20,849 --> 00:24:23,879
have, you know, 10, 12, 15,
that's what it sounds like.

529
00:24:24,059 --> 00:24:25,299
You know, it sounds
like one, the higher

530
00:24:25,299 --> 00:24:26,319
level must be better.

531
00:24:26,659 --> 00:24:27,519
That's not the case.

532
00:24:28,059 --> 00:24:32,239
But focus 10 is body
asleep, mind awake.

533
00:24:33,209 --> 00:24:35,589
It's one of, to me, it's
one of the most exciting

534
00:24:35,599 --> 00:24:39,269
focus levels because that's
where you really learn that.

535
00:24:39,279 --> 00:24:42,439
When I was talking about
reaching those theta states

536
00:24:42,589 --> 00:24:45,159
and having a lot of delta
going on, but you have

537
00:24:45,169 --> 00:24:46,709
beta too, you are alert.

538
00:24:47,009 --> 00:24:48,849
You can remember
the experiences.

539
00:24:49,029 --> 00:24:51,969
So it's a really great
training focus level and

540
00:24:51,989 --> 00:24:55,029
you literally will feel
like your body's asleep.

541
00:24:55,579 --> 00:24:59,989
And you, I remember when I
was doing it at home before I

542
00:24:59,989 --> 00:25:03,769
came here, I would have these
moments when I was doing Focus

543
00:25:03,769 --> 00:25:07,139
10 and I would hear somebody
breathing very heavily.

544
00:25:07,739 --> 00:25:09,029
And I was like, you
know, and I would just

545
00:25:09,029 --> 00:25:10,339
be going in my head.

546
00:25:10,339 --> 00:25:12,839
It would kind of scare me
like, who, who, what is that?

547
00:25:12,849 --> 00:25:14,109
Where, where am
I hearing that?

548
00:25:14,459 --> 00:25:15,389
Well, it would be me.

549
00:25:17,369 --> 00:25:18,469
My body was asleep.

550
00:25:19,569 --> 00:25:21,229
So, I mean, you literally
in those, when you get

551
00:25:21,229 --> 00:25:24,319
into those very heavy
focus level, focus 10 level

552
00:25:24,319 --> 00:25:28,419
states, you can be snoring
and go, okay, who's snoring?

553
00:25:29,829 --> 00:25:30,529
It's me.

554
00:25:30,919 --> 00:25:33,129
Um, so it's an
interesting phenomena.

555
00:25:33,599 --> 00:25:35,519
Focus 12 is another level.

556
00:25:35,769 --> 00:25:37,819
And that's the way I look
at that is it's, it's

557
00:25:37,819 --> 00:25:38,949
an expansion of self.

558
00:25:38,949 --> 00:25:41,889
It's where we're looking
at total self of access.

559
00:25:41,999 --> 00:25:43,849
So some people might
say higher self.

560
00:25:44,344 --> 00:25:47,114
And that's where a lot of
nonverbal communication can

561
00:25:47,114 --> 00:25:51,114
come in, uh, from, it's,
you can think of it like a

562
00:25:51,114 --> 00:25:54,894
dream state, a meditative
state that's, uh, where

563
00:25:54,894 --> 00:25:58,164
you're able to access those
different parts of yourself,

564
00:25:58,424 --> 00:26:01,564
maybe an inner child, maybe
it's a, uh, pieces of your

565
00:26:01,564 --> 00:26:03,904
soul that you're trying
to bring back to you.

566
00:26:04,634 --> 00:26:07,514
And then focus 15 is no time.

567
00:26:07,514 --> 00:26:08,584
It's called the void.

568
00:26:08,969 --> 00:26:12,989
And it's where we can really
play around with, uh, past,

569
00:26:12,999 --> 00:26:15,489
future, uh, present moment.

570
00:26:15,579 --> 00:26:18,519
And it's a, it's a state
really of initiation.

571
00:26:18,609 --> 00:26:21,949
It usually means you want
to be initiating something

572
00:26:22,989 --> 00:26:24,689
so that something occurs.

573
00:26:25,169 --> 00:26:28,779
Otherwise it can tend to
just be this silent void that

574
00:26:28,779 --> 00:26:29,939
you're in, which is nice too.

575
00:26:31,109 --> 00:26:35,259
then Focus 21, the way I
look at Focus 21 is that

576
00:26:35,259 --> 00:26:38,709
we're going beyond and that's
where we're, we're really

577
00:26:38,719 --> 00:26:40,279
stepping into that space.

578
00:26:40,879 --> 00:26:43,609
that we can reach out
to deceased loved ones,

579
00:26:44,099 --> 00:26:45,789
guidance, things like that.

580
00:26:45,869 --> 00:26:48,499
And then focus 27,
we call the park.

581
00:26:49,309 --> 00:26:51,269
And that's just, it's,
it's interesting.

582
00:26:51,269 --> 00:26:54,099
This has this amazing energy
now, because so many of

583
00:26:54,099 --> 00:26:57,399
us have gone there in our
meditations and it seems to

584
00:26:57,399 --> 00:26:58,949
almost have a structure to it.

585
00:26:58,949 --> 00:27:01,169
Like you'll go there and
see the healing center.

586
00:27:01,169 --> 00:27:03,539
You can go there and
see the, um, the book,

587
00:27:03,539 --> 00:27:04,419
the hall of records.

588
00:27:04,449 --> 00:27:04,789
You can.

589
00:27:05,324 --> 00:27:09,704
Go there and, um, even we
have a class called X27,

590
00:27:09,714 --> 00:27:13,074
where you go build your place
there that you can, when

591
00:27:13,074 --> 00:27:16,154
you go meditate, you can
go hang out in that space.

592
00:27:16,854 --> 00:27:19,264
So it's a, it's one of my
favorites just because of

593
00:27:19,264 --> 00:27:23,664
how broad and, um, and,
and we, so many of us have

594
00:27:23,664 --> 00:27:25,144
shared experiences there.

595
00:27:25,884 --> 00:27:28,234
So that's just a few of
them, the basic ones.

596
00:27:29,544 --> 00:27:31,874
Rod Bland: So, your everyday
work and the people you're

597
00:27:31,874 --> 00:27:35,164
involved with, uh, and I guess
kind of what I do as well,

598
00:27:35,174 --> 00:27:39,364
you, you get used to the idea
that we're working and talking

599
00:27:39,364 --> 00:27:41,624
about things that a lot of
people are very skeptical of.

600
00:27:42,224 --> 00:27:44,254
And so what, what do you
generally say to people

601
00:27:44,274 --> 00:27:47,124
who doubt the legitimacy
of phenomena like OBEs

602
00:27:47,944 --> 00:27:49,714
or psychic abilities?

603
00:27:50,764 --> 00:27:53,294
Allyn Evans: You know, so
one of the things we pride

604
00:27:53,294 --> 00:27:55,904
ourselves in is that we want
you to have the experience.

605
00:27:56,389 --> 00:27:58,459
We don't, you know, so I'm
sitting here telling you about

606
00:27:58,459 --> 00:28:01,779
some of my experiences, but
what I really want to happen

607
00:28:01,779 --> 00:28:05,849
is for you to come here,
you to get on our app, you

608
00:28:05,849 --> 00:28:08,289
to come to a program, not
to give me money, but for

609
00:28:08,289 --> 00:28:09,839
you to have the experience.

610
00:28:10,534 --> 00:28:14,274
And the sound technology
is a key driver for that.

611
00:28:14,344 --> 00:28:16,524
I mean, we had a Buddhist
sceptic in the 1990s

612
00:28:16,564 --> 00:28:17,584
that came from Canada.

613
00:28:17,594 --> 00:28:23,034
He was the head of an order
and he spent one week with us.

614
00:28:23,284 --> 00:28:25,334
And at the end, he was
like, you Americans,

615
00:28:25,554 --> 00:28:27,834
y'all figure out the
shortcuts to everything.

616
00:28:28,464 --> 00:28:33,654
And he realized that this
was a fast track compared

617
00:28:33,654 --> 00:28:36,084
to years and years and
years and years of sitting.

618
00:28:37,114 --> 00:28:37,734
And it is.

619
00:28:37,744 --> 00:28:40,274
I mean, you can be in
those states and hold those

620
00:28:40,324 --> 00:28:43,884
states for extended periods,
periods of time without

621
00:28:43,894 --> 00:28:46,904
discipline, you know, except
the discipline of the 30

622
00:28:46,904 --> 00:28:49,804
minutes, 45 minutes that you
listen to the meditation.

623
00:28:50,344 --> 00:28:52,084
Rod Bland: I've always
been fascinated by the

624
00:28:52,094 --> 00:28:53,144
out of body experience.

625
00:28:53,144 --> 00:28:55,864
That's kind of my go
to thing and I've been

626
00:28:55,864 --> 00:28:57,054
successful one time.

627
00:28:57,194 --> 00:28:59,704
So I'm, I'm interested
in being more successful

628
00:28:59,704 --> 00:29:01,204
than just, than just once.

629
00:29:01,214 --> 00:29:04,984
So, you know, what would you
say to someone in my position

630
00:29:04,984 --> 00:29:06,984
as far as, okay, well, I'm
thinking about doing something

631
00:29:06,984 --> 00:29:07,904
with Monroe institute.

632
00:29:07,904 --> 00:29:08,524
What should I do?

633
00:29:09,979 --> 00:29:12,169
Allyn Evans: Uh, well, so
we do have OBE spectrum,

634
00:29:12,259 --> 00:29:14,999
which I have trained, and
that gives you a lot of

635
00:29:14,999 --> 00:29:18,569
different ways to experience
or view an out of body.

636
00:29:19,059 --> 00:29:21,439
Most people, now when you
had yours, was it a, would

637
00:29:21,449 --> 00:29:24,719
you call it a traditional
type experience, a classic

638
00:29:24,749 --> 00:29:28,179
experience where you're, you
know that you're out, you

639
00:29:28,179 --> 00:29:31,099
know, then you can look down
at your body where you've

640
00:29:31,099 --> 00:29:34,399
left it, maybe a silver
cord, maybe a vibration

641
00:29:34,399 --> 00:29:35,389
before all that happens.

642
00:29:35,844 --> 00:29:38,034
Rod Bland: It wasn't
quite that because my.

643
00:29:38,154 --> 00:29:42,914
My intentions, I'd, I'd,
uh, I followed, uh, Michael

644
00:29:42,914 --> 00:29:45,084
Roduga's methodology.

645
00:29:45,264 --> 00:29:48,054
So it was, I was, I'd just
woken up and I just managed to

646
00:29:48,054 --> 00:29:49,814
catch myself as I'd woken up.

647
00:29:50,174 --> 00:29:51,704
And I was thinking about
standing in front of

648
00:29:51,724 --> 00:29:54,004
the bathroom mirror and
then I was in front of

649
00:29:54,004 --> 00:29:54,734
the bathroom mirror.

650
00:29:54,734 --> 00:29:57,644
So that's, and so it was
away from my body, like

651
00:29:57,644 --> 00:29:59,444
in a different floor of
the house at that point.

652
00:29:59,444 --> 00:30:01,764
So I didn't get to see
that, but that, that

653
00:30:01,764 --> 00:30:02,604
was the only difference.

654
00:30:02,604 --> 00:30:05,154
I would say the rest of it
was fairly similar to what

655
00:30:05,154 --> 00:30:06,124
other people have described.

656
00:30:06,124 --> 00:30:07,474
Yep.

657
00:30:07,929 --> 00:30:10,529
Allyn Evans: and so that
the, what we find is people

658
00:30:10,539 --> 00:30:13,069
really want the classic
traditional experience,

659
00:30:13,099 --> 00:30:14,489
just what I was explaining.

660
00:30:15,699 --> 00:30:18,079
What we teach at the OB
Spectrum Program is that

661
00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:20,659
there's so many different
ways for this to happen.

662
00:30:21,189 --> 00:30:25,249
And it's really more about
the outcome, not how you get

663
00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:29,219
there, but we certainly have,
you know, meditations and

664
00:30:29,219 --> 00:30:32,839
exercises and information that
we teach in that program that

665
00:30:32,849 --> 00:30:36,329
helps people have experiences.

666
00:30:36,419 --> 00:30:37,849
And it's not
always a guarantee.

667
00:30:37,849 --> 00:30:38,739
You know, it's
not a guarantee.

668
00:30:38,739 --> 00:30:41,519
We can't guarantee that,
but we are leaving you

669
00:30:41,529 --> 00:30:42,659
with tools to work with.

670
00:30:43,299 --> 00:30:44,419
And everybody can do it.

671
00:30:44,449 --> 00:30:48,129
It's really just a matter
of staying alert and aware.

672
00:30:48,129 --> 00:30:51,329
And that's why the Focus
10 training is so powerful.

673
00:30:52,419 --> 00:30:55,319
Because you're training
yourself to remain alert

674
00:30:56,184 --> 00:30:58,714
Rod Bland: The falling
asleep, I can't, I can't

675
00:30:58,714 --> 00:31:00,984
really prevent that, doesn't
matter how much I try, but

676
00:31:01,324 --> 00:31:03,724
once you've had some sleep
and then catching it when

677
00:31:03,724 --> 00:31:06,384
I wake up seems to be,
you know, that seems to

678
00:31:06,384 --> 00:31:07,834
be the ideal opportunity,
I think it's different

679
00:31:07,834 --> 00:31:08,524
for different people.

680
00:31:09,529 --> 00:31:10,769
Allyn Evans: Yeah,
that's actually the ideal

681
00:31:10,769 --> 00:31:11,869
opportunity for me too.

682
00:31:11,869 --> 00:31:16,479
But I also found afternoons,
um, and I would run two 45

683
00:31:16,629 --> 00:31:18,299
minute exercises together.

684
00:31:19,359 --> 00:31:21,559
And I found sometimes
that could be helpful too.

685
00:31:22,059 --> 00:31:25,939
But morning and that, that
space between waking up and,

686
00:31:25,999 --> 00:31:30,019
um, and then getting out of
bed, if you can, if you can

687
00:31:30,029 --> 00:31:34,949
build in time to hang out
there and just right after

688
00:31:34,949 --> 00:31:37,769
you've woken up, then you're,
you're more likely to be

689
00:31:37,769 --> 00:31:40,979
in that state and be able
to return to, uh, something

690
00:31:40,979 --> 00:31:45,369
similar that's got you in
a lot of theta, delta, and

691
00:31:45,369 --> 00:31:46,589
then of course the beta,

692
00:31:46,754 --> 00:31:49,404
Rod Bland: It's amazing to
me that it's so, uh, related

693
00:31:49,414 --> 00:31:53,824
to a particular state of
your brain, which is a very,

694
00:31:54,664 --> 00:31:57,604
seems, it's a very sort of
scientific approach to me.

695
00:31:57,884 --> 00:31:59,574
That was what I was
encouraged by is like,

696
00:31:59,574 --> 00:32:02,744
okay, well, if I wasn't
born with psychic abilities,

697
00:32:02,744 --> 00:32:05,104
like you, the person who
was three years old, then

698
00:32:05,754 --> 00:32:06,874
what hope do we have?

699
00:32:06,884 --> 00:32:10,314
But you know, there is a
way to, to tap into that

700
00:32:10,314 --> 00:32:12,954
just by applying a little
bit of science it seems.

701
00:32:14,159 --> 00:32:14,449
Allyn Evans: right?

702
00:32:14,524 --> 00:32:16,294
It works?

703
00:32:16,914 --> 00:32:18,924
Rod Bland: So, I have
a question that I ask a

704
00:32:18,924 --> 00:32:21,774
lot of my guests is about
what advice would you have

705
00:32:21,784 --> 00:32:24,174
for 25 year old Allyn?

706
00:32:25,354 --> 00:32:26,014
Allyn Evans: Hmm.

707
00:32:27,204 --> 00:32:29,644
You know, I was already
very curious when I was

708
00:32:29,674 --> 00:32:32,784
25 and that's, uh, I
actually probably started

709
00:32:32,794 --> 00:32:36,534
reading those, those
books when I was 27, 28.

710
00:32:37,214 --> 00:32:39,824
but what would I tell, you
know, really, so I'm going to

711
00:32:39,844 --> 00:32:45,434
be very, um, vulnerable here,
but I was so self critical,

712
00:32:45,494 --> 00:32:47,214
so had so many self doubts.

713
00:32:48,119 --> 00:32:51,269
And so I think that's
where I got in my way.

714
00:32:52,309 --> 00:32:54,649
Just even when I wanted to
be an outreach trainer, after

715
00:32:54,669 --> 00:32:57,549
being here for Gateway, and
then you take another program,

716
00:32:58,329 --> 00:33:01,729
I almost didn't ask about it.

717
00:33:01,989 --> 00:33:04,669
Because my thought was,
why would they want me?

718
00:33:06,639 --> 00:33:09,339
And I just made, I
made myself do it.

719
00:33:09,509 --> 00:33:12,929
At least, thank God I had a
little bit of courage mixed

720
00:33:12,929 --> 00:33:15,459
in there, because I, you know,
that's how I think I keep

721
00:33:15,469 --> 00:33:18,139
moving forward, is because I
can pull out the courage card.

722
00:33:18,784 --> 00:33:21,484
Uh, or be afraid and do
it anyway, um, but that,

723
00:33:21,494 --> 00:33:23,794
that would be, I would
say, Hey, get over it.

724
00:33:23,814 --> 00:33:26,604
And the other thing I would
say to my 25 year old self

725
00:33:26,864 --> 00:33:30,184
is not everybody's going to
like you and that's okay.

726
00:33:33,224 --> 00:33:34,194
Those are the two things.

727
00:33:34,744 --> 00:33:36,134
Rod Bland: I've asked that
question to a few people,

728
00:33:36,134 --> 00:33:37,104
that's really powerful.

729
00:33:37,294 --> 00:33:38,454
Not everyone's
going to like you.

730
00:33:39,784 --> 00:33:39,984
Allyn Evans: Right.

731
00:33:40,134 --> 00:33:41,784
Rod Bland: Yeah, and
that's, and that's okay.

732
00:33:41,824 --> 00:33:43,334
That's, that's really good.

733
00:33:43,454 --> 00:33:45,104
Allyn Evans: and I had a
meditation that brought

734
00:33:45,104 --> 00:33:48,214
that home to me and I
heard this booming voice.

735
00:33:48,214 --> 00:33:52,914
It was a male voice and it
was, I just said, Allyn, not

736
00:33:52,954 --> 00:33:54,694
everybody's going to like you.

737
00:33:55,164 --> 00:33:57,664
And I was like, Oh, Oh.

738
00:33:58,284 --> 00:33:58,924
Okay.

739
00:33:59,064 --> 00:34:01,514
You know, but up until
that point, that's not

740
00:34:01,514 --> 00:34:03,304
how I could see it.

741
00:34:04,414 --> 00:34:04,824
Rod Bland: Yeah.

742
00:34:04,884 --> 00:34:05,744
That's really useful for me.

743
00:34:05,744 --> 00:34:07,484
I've got a history as a
chronic people pleaser.

744
00:34:07,534 --> 00:34:08,974
So yeah.

745
00:34:09,104 --> 00:34:09,414
Allyn Evans: too.

746
00:34:09,584 --> 00:34:12,024
That's, I wrote a book that
has that in the subtitle.

747
00:34:15,104 --> 00:34:18,244
Rod Bland: sO if, if people
wanted to, people may

748
00:34:18,244 --> 00:34:19,064
have questions for you.

749
00:34:19,284 --> 00:34:22,274
Um, I'll get you to talk a bit
more about the programs that

750
00:34:22,304 --> 00:34:24,494
the Monaro students seek, but
if they, if they wanted to

751
00:34:24,494 --> 00:34:26,784
ask you questions personally,
is, is that something you'd

752
00:34:26,784 --> 00:34:28,804
be open to and what's the
best way for them to do that?

753
00:34:29,714 --> 00:34:32,954
Allyn Evans: So we have
info at MonroeInstitute.

754
00:34:32,954 --> 00:34:36,134
org, that would be a good way
to send an email, and if it's

755
00:34:36,134 --> 00:34:38,604
specifically for me, just say
that they would, you know,

756
00:34:38,634 --> 00:34:41,814
ask to, for me to view it,
and they'll pass it on to me.

757
00:34:42,344 --> 00:34:43,014
Rod Bland: Okay, cool.

758
00:34:43,164 --> 00:34:44,534
Allyn Evans: And it might
be answered by someone

759
00:34:44,534 --> 00:34:46,254
else, if it's not something
that, you know, if they're

760
00:34:46,254 --> 00:34:48,854
just generic questions
that somebody on staff

761
00:34:48,854 --> 00:34:49,784
might know the answer to.

762
00:34:49,944 --> 00:34:53,074
Rod Bland: Yep, so can you
give us a bit of an overview

763
00:34:53,074 --> 00:34:57,784
of what the Munro Institute
does for people who may not

764
00:34:57,784 --> 00:34:58,594
have heard about them before?

765
00:35:01,184 --> 00:35:03,344
Allyn Evans: we offer
programs, and we have

766
00:35:03,704 --> 00:35:06,904
about, I can't even
tell you the number now.

767
00:35:07,339 --> 00:35:09,869
I think it's about 30
different types of programs,

768
00:35:09,909 --> 00:35:12,729
and they have different
focuses, and some of them

769
00:35:12,729 --> 00:35:15,059
are on the focus level
system, and some are not.

770
00:35:15,069 --> 00:35:18,069
Some are Monroe Sound Science,
which is not including

771
00:35:18,069 --> 00:35:19,209
the focus level system.

772
00:35:19,749 --> 00:35:23,329
Um, but it's, uh, it's a way
for an individual, so if they

773
00:35:23,329 --> 00:35:25,929
come to a program, it's a
way to have a very structured

774
00:35:25,949 --> 00:35:27,809
experience with purpose.

775
00:35:28,954 --> 00:35:30,844
For example, Gateway is
the flagship where that's

776
00:35:30,844 --> 00:35:34,104
the introduction to the
basic, uh, focus levels.

777
00:35:34,644 --> 00:35:37,194
And then we have one
lifeline that's about soul

778
00:35:37,194 --> 00:35:41,224
retrieval, soul retrieval of
yourself and soul retrieval

779
00:35:41,224 --> 00:35:42,574
of others who've passed on.

780
00:35:43,024 --> 00:35:45,944
We have, um, guidelines, so
that'd be more about guidance.

781
00:35:46,729 --> 00:35:50,149
We have X27, which is
exploring that, the

782
00:35:50,149 --> 00:35:54,479
park, the Focus 27 level
and so on and so on.

783
00:35:54,559 --> 00:35:57,399
And then we have other ones
like near death experience,

784
00:35:57,399 --> 00:35:59,759
Heartline, which is focused
on the heart energy.

785
00:36:00,799 --> 00:36:05,679
There's, we have anything
you would want that could,

786
00:36:06,299 --> 00:36:08,489
you know, move someone
forward just depending on

787
00:36:08,799 --> 00:36:11,589
what the purpose is, what
they're trying to accomplish.

788
00:36:12,594 --> 00:36:15,844
Rod Bland: And so you have
some that, uh, are done

789
00:36:15,864 --> 00:36:18,504
actually at the Institute
there in Virginia, and then

790
00:36:18,504 --> 00:36:21,394
you have some online things
and apps as well, don't you?

791
00:36:22,439 --> 00:36:22,729
Allyn Evans: Right.

792
00:36:22,729 --> 00:36:25,409
We have about a thousand
people who come here a year.

793
00:36:26,464 --> 00:36:29,444
And then we have virtual
programs, which some are, um,

794
00:36:29,524 --> 00:36:33,524
a week long, some are like
two weekends, so that you can

795
00:36:33,564 --> 00:36:35,704
not have to use, if you're,
if you're someone that works

796
00:36:35,724 --> 00:36:38,394
Monday through Friday, uh, you
just are having two weekends

797
00:36:38,394 --> 00:36:39,364
to cover the material.

798
00:36:39,574 --> 00:36:41,434
And then we have some
shorter virtual programs.

799
00:36:41,434 --> 00:36:43,174
We also have online programs.

800
00:36:43,514 --> 00:36:46,974
So those are, they're
guided by a trainer.

801
00:36:47,344 --> 00:36:49,904
There's email, you can email
them or chat with them.

802
00:36:49,904 --> 00:36:52,464
And then there's a, usually a
video session once a week or

803
00:36:52,464 --> 00:36:54,394
a Zoom session once a week.

804
00:36:54,884 --> 00:36:57,614
So, we have that format, and
then we also have it where you

805
00:36:57,614 --> 00:37:00,264
just are getting the material
without any guidance, and

806
00:37:00,274 --> 00:37:02,964
those are our lowest price
points, and so it's really

807
00:37:02,964 --> 00:37:06,884
easy in an inexpensive way
to experience what we do.

808
00:37:07,214 --> 00:37:07,524
Rod Bland: Hmm.

809
00:37:08,104 --> 00:37:10,944
I learned about the Lifeline
program from Bruce, uh,

810
00:37:10,974 --> 00:37:14,854
Moen's book, and I think
that's absolutely fascinating.

811
00:37:14,854 --> 00:37:17,304
Do you, do you, is there
been anybody that's been

812
00:37:17,304 --> 00:37:19,154
through that program or do
you know of any experience

813
00:37:19,154 --> 00:37:20,754
that somebody's had that was
particularly profound that

814
00:37:20,774 --> 00:37:21,604
you could tell us about?

815
00:37:23,114 --> 00:37:24,984
Allyn Evans: Hmm, you
know, it's hard, sometimes

816
00:37:24,984 --> 00:37:26,704
it's hard for me to
remember different stories,

817
00:37:26,704 --> 00:37:28,944
but I have one that
I just recalled.

818
00:37:29,484 --> 00:37:32,884
Uh, Candy Sanderson,
who is the author of

819
00:37:32,914 --> 00:37:34,694
The Reluctant Messenger.

820
00:37:35,159 --> 00:37:37,799
So it might be a book that,
I think it's a great book,

821
00:37:37,799 --> 00:37:39,399
so I think your audience
would be interested.

822
00:37:39,769 --> 00:37:45,049
But she came, she was coming
here for about 10 years, and

823
00:37:45,049 --> 00:37:51,039
she took Lifeline, and she got
a download of someone who had

824
00:37:51,039 --> 00:37:55,949
passed on, and she received
their name, where they lived,

825
00:37:56,289 --> 00:37:58,799
and just more information,
and she was able to verify

826
00:37:58,799 --> 00:38:03,874
it, like immediately after
the session was over, the That

827
00:38:03,934 --> 00:38:07,924
seemed to open this huge door
for her, where then, about,

828
00:38:08,144 --> 00:38:10,184
I think it was a few weeks
later, might have been a month

829
00:38:10,184 --> 00:38:13,364
or two later, she started, as
she would be driving to work

830
00:38:13,394 --> 00:38:16,864
every morning, she started
getting all these downloads.

831
00:38:17,034 --> 00:38:19,834
And she's, she
verbally recorded them.

832
00:38:20,214 --> 00:38:21,854
You know, had a tape
recorder that she just

833
00:38:21,854 --> 00:38:24,454
recorded everything, then she
transcribed everything, and

834
00:38:24,454 --> 00:38:25,544
that's what's in the book.

835
00:38:25,974 --> 00:38:28,874
And it's, so she's in a
whole different space now,

836
00:38:29,774 --> 00:38:34,144
with this gift that was,
Uh, Gifted at Lifeline.

837
00:38:34,589 --> 00:38:39,019
Rod Bland: Wow, what was
her purpose for doing,

838
00:38:39,279 --> 00:38:41,579
obviously she didn't know
how it was going to turn out.

839
00:38:41,579 --> 00:38:42,729
What was her purpose
for coming there

840
00:38:42,729 --> 00:38:43,469
in the first place?

841
00:38:43,469 --> 00:38:45,679
Was it just because she had a
relative that had passed on?

842
00:38:46,764 --> 00:38:50,174
Allyn Evans: no, so I'm not
sure why she picked Lifeline.

843
00:38:50,174 --> 00:38:51,834
It might have been that
a friend wanted to go,

844
00:38:52,604 --> 00:38:54,744
but she'd already been
coming for several years,

845
00:38:54,774 --> 00:38:57,574
and she actually was one of
the founding members of the

846
00:38:57,574 --> 00:38:59,194
local chapter network with me.

847
00:38:59,854 --> 00:39:02,314
So we were just both
very passionate about the

848
00:39:02,314 --> 00:39:04,624
organization, so she would
come like once a year.

849
00:39:05,589 --> 00:39:07,499
And that lifeline just
happened to be the one she

850
00:39:07,559 --> 00:39:11,609
selected about, I think it was
10 years after she started.

851
00:39:11,839 --> 00:39:14,979
Rod Bland: So what's in
the future for yourself

852
00:39:14,979 --> 00:39:16,539
and the Monroe Institute?

853
00:39:17,129 --> 00:39:19,869
How do you see our
understanding of

854
00:39:19,869 --> 00:39:22,639
consciousness evolving as
humans as time goes by?

855
00:39:23,699 --> 00:39:25,279
Allyn Evans: You know, one
of our things that we're

856
00:39:25,279 --> 00:39:27,949
doing right now is a huge,
we have this huge aspiration

857
00:39:27,969 --> 00:39:30,409
to reach 1 percent of the
world's population, which

858
00:39:30,409 --> 00:39:32,999
right now is about 80 million,
with a direct experience.

859
00:39:33,609 --> 00:39:35,639
Because we believe the
more people that can

860
00:39:35,749 --> 00:39:39,249
get into these states of
awareness and maintain them.

861
00:39:39,694 --> 00:39:41,854
Then we really can
change the world.

862
00:39:42,374 --> 00:39:43,884
And of course there
are other organizations

863
00:39:43,884 --> 00:39:45,014
with similar goals.

864
00:39:45,074 --> 00:39:49,444
So altogether, if we
all focus on our 1%, uh,

865
00:39:49,524 --> 00:39:51,684
we'll eventually have a
tipping point, I believe.

866
00:39:51,904 --> 00:39:54,894
And I think that's
what's driving us now.

867
00:39:55,679 --> 00:39:57,469
Rod Bland: So do you have
a final positive message

868
00:39:57,469 --> 00:39:59,279
that you could leave people
with before we wrap up

869
00:39:59,309 --> 00:40:00,289
the conversation today?

870
00:40:01,136 --> 00:40:02,066
Allyn Evans: Yes, I do.

871
00:40:02,326 --> 00:40:06,086
This is possible for
anyone and everyone, and

872
00:40:06,136 --> 00:40:11,526
we have this amazing sound
technology that cuts out all

873
00:40:11,526 --> 00:40:15,166
of the years of discipline
and training and can help

874
00:40:15,166 --> 00:40:18,436
you reach these powerful
states for yourself, have

875
00:40:18,436 --> 00:40:19,856
these amazing experiences.

876
00:40:21,061 --> 00:40:23,361
Have these amazing
experiences yourself.

877
00:40:24,389 --> 00:40:24,779
Rod Bland: Awesome.

878
00:40:25,372 --> 00:40:25,662
Allyn Evans: do it.

879
00:40:27,534 --> 00:40:29,274
Rod Bland: Yes, and I can
recommend it too as someone

880
00:40:29,274 --> 00:40:33,214
who has, I've struggled with
meditation and like being

881
00:40:33,214 --> 00:40:36,474
able to focus in the, the,
uh, the HemiSync technology

882
00:40:36,474 --> 00:40:40,374
is really, really useful for
helping people with that.

883
00:40:40,394 --> 00:40:42,874
If you do have trouble just
quieting your mind, I can

884
00:40:43,024 --> 00:40:45,324
thoroughly recommend it and
it's not expensive at all.

885
00:40:45,912 --> 00:40:46,182
Allyn Evans: Right.

886
00:40:46,332 --> 00:40:47,862
then the Monroe Sound
Science is, you know,

887
00:40:47,872 --> 00:40:48,992
the evolution of that.

888
00:40:49,262 --> 00:40:50,832
And then we've got the apps.

889
00:40:50,832 --> 00:40:53,512
It's real, there's a
free section on there.

890
00:40:53,572 --> 00:40:56,642
So anyone can get started
and listen to this

891
00:40:56,642 --> 00:40:58,292
stuff and experience.

892
00:40:59,174 --> 00:40:59,414
Rod Bland: yeah.

893
00:41:00,289 --> 00:41:02,149
All right, Alan, it's been
great talking with you today.

894
00:41:02,229 --> 00:41:04,419
You've been very generous with
your time, so I appreciate

895
00:41:04,419 --> 00:41:07,219
you taking the time out
to have a chat with me all

896
00:41:07,229 --> 00:41:08,589
the way over in Australia.

897
00:41:09,732 --> 00:41:10,402
Allyn Evans: Thank you.

898
00:41:10,652 --> 00:41:11,332
I enjoyed it.
