Does anyone have recommendations for a podcast that dives into the GATE program? or any content creators who have done a deep dive on the CIA files?

Most of my childhood is a big blur. From 5th grade down. When we switched schools in 6th grade is when my memories started becoming clear.

I was recently talking with a family member and I was asking about my behavioral issues when I was younger. As an adult a lot of things didn’t add up for me and I was trying to figure out if I had some sort of repressed memory or trauma.

She told me my behavior outbursts started when I was about 6/7. Really young. She said they got so bad that my parents didn’t know how to control me or what to do. Here’s the kicker, I had no behavior outbursts at school or with anyone else. Which is what made me believe that I had some sort of repressed memory.

I remember being in the GATE program. I remember the cards. The headphones. The pink drink. I can go to my old elementary school and walk you directly to the little bitty closet type room that I was brought too.

I guess I’m wanting to know if there are other people who were in the GATE program that also had similar experiences. I have struggled even into adulthood with forming close relationships and strong emotional outbursts. Typically anger and blackout moments starting from a young kid. As an adult I have a good toolset that helps me stay grounded.

I’m interested to hear others experiences.

Edit 1: I’m editing to ask if anyone else has a sensitivity to sounds? For instance certain sounds just instantly trigger rage.

Bio-information Retrieval, the CIA found that when a person is in this deep trance state, (Delta) they can access information that is "non-local" (information they shouldn't realistically know).

QHHT practitioners call this "accessing the Akashic records" or "Universal Wisdom."

CIA researchers (in STAR GATE and MKUltra) called this "Anomalous Cognition" and used it for remote viewing or retrieving "unconscious" intelligence from a witness.

Do you know your blood type?!

Not sure if anyone else has posted this before but I thought it might have been useful.

I was in the GATE program from kindergarten until grade 4.

As a child I was placed into a government run public kindergarten and one of the teachers told my mom that I shouldnt be there because I was too advanced to have meaningful fun.

My mom tried to enroll me in grade 1 but I was too young so I got to stay with my grandmother most of the time instead.

The next year I start grade one, and after about a week the school tells my mom that they think I should be placed into grade 2 because I can already read and do math.

But we were planning on moving soon so they asked us to give them my new schools information so they could speak with them before I was enrolled.

My mom never heard anything else so she enrolled me in grade 1 at the new school and again after a few days the teacher started asking my mom questions about why I was in grade 1. I remember the conversation and the teacher telling my mom that she doesnt have any grade 1 material that would even challenge me and she felt it wouldnt be fair to have me sit there. My mom told her about the conversations with my old school and we went home.

Next day I went to school and my grade 1 teacher took me to the grade 2 classroom and introduced me to the students, new teacher, and snapping turtles. The grade 2 teacher told me that I wouldnt be a regular classmate and that I was allowed to take care of the turtles if they needed anything during class.

I was only expected to attend gym with my classmates but I was allowed to take the tests in class if I wanted to and do the reading assignments. I remember my report cards were just 100% accross the board except gym id get like an 80% lmao I remember me and my brother trying to explain to my mom that my report cards arent real but she didnt understand why.

The program I was in was called GATE but it used curriculum and programs from SAGE, ACE, PACE, ACT, REACT, REACH, and some others.

I lived close to the school so me and my mom walked there and I remember before we got in the school she met the facilitator of the program.

Something ive always found very strange was that this person was someone my mother knew. She went to school with him. He was not a teacher, thats why I call him a facilitator. He would be compared to something like a guidance councillor in most schools. I dont believe he worked for the school board directly but rather the company he worked for had contracts to provide services for the school, like the GATE program.

I can confidently say the facilitator was wholly unaware of what the intentions of the program were and he very likely had the best intentions for providing it. In his eyes it was an accelerated learning program.

So I would go to school then wait for the facilitator to come scoop me from class or the library and he would take me to a belvedere on top the school which felt like a large office in a lighthouse. Not one other person that I know of who attended that school even knew there was an office up there and nowadays its closed off.

The office seemed to be arranged specifically for the program because there was a regular office then through a door there was another space that was used for the listening and viewing tapes with a sound room and a dark room. I remember having to take the headphones into the sound room with the coily wire and plugging it into the tan coloured boxes then I would have to flick a red switch that turned on a light above the door outside the room to let him know I was ready.

They needed a dark room because the tapes were played from a projector.

I remember one of the tapes I was asked to close my eyes and describe what I saw while I listened. Then they played wierd tones that I could 'feel' like if a sound could have a texture lol some were like jagged and some were like lines it was weird.

I remember having two buttons and having to click left or right on what seemed like random patterns.

I remember having to watch a scene and then being asked to describe the background and the objects and colours of things.

I remember having to read a bunch of weird like case studies of people and how they reacted to certain events and how they couldve done things differently.

I remember the whole school having to wait in the hallways and line up for the pink drinks and booster shots but I didnt have to take either and I had a different color vaccination slip then my friends, theres was green and mine was blue.

I was allowed to attend field trips with my classmates and I still have friends from there which is what prompted this post.

They reminded me about how weird it was and started asking me questions about it. Then they showed me the subreddit and ive been reading these experiences and I hope that I can shed some light on a couple things since I have a pretty clear memory of it all and im still in contact with alot of people who were around during the whole experience, including the facilitator.

One thing that I find odd is that the facilitator told me his job was just to present and collect information then send in the results. He had no idea what it was all about and he said half the stuff we talked about went right over his head.

The program itself was not under the jurisdiction or supervision of the school board because it operated across various school boards but it was endorsed by the government at the time. The results of the program were also not shared with the school or my teachers and they were asked not to probe. To this day I have not been able to access information about it other than my own experience.

Edit: I left the program because at the end of grade 4 we moved and my mom just kinda forgot that I was ever in there. She never told the new school board but they asked why I was so young to be in the grade I was in and she told them I skipped grade 1 lol

Hope this helps with anyone elses experience.

So, I alluded to this in a post, but I was unable at the time to focus on the idea, and I wanted to let it simmer for a little bit...I have a bit of a conspiracy theory that I would like to get some of your opinions on...a conspiracy within the conspiracy, so to speak. (And if someone else has already come up with this, please feel free to guide me there, if you would be so kind.)

Going through these threads, I see a lot of similarities between people's experiences and my own, a lot of similar interests, a lot of shared neurodivergent traits....one thing where I seem to diverge from a lot of people is that I am lucky to have zero trauma from the GATE Program....

>[Unnecessary Background - Feel Free to Skip] So, for a little background, when I was a child and was in the program, it was the late-80s in central Gulf Coast Florida. I was in the program in Kindergarten, my parents don't remember me being in the program, but I know I was in the program...I remember the pink drink, cards, the sound testing, and a different curriculum than the normal students. Then I moved to Alaska for 3 years because my dad was in the military....I don't recall being in the GATE program in Alaska, but throughout all my childhood, I was always in the Advanced/GT classes....Anyway..

So, I've always been prone to seeing connections between things, and having really good intuition about events...Conspiratorial thinking...but many years ago, I forced myself to get out of that line of thinking and just kind get on with life. And get on with life I did. Of course, life has a way of pulling you back into things, and this Fresh Hell of a Conspiratorial Dystopia that we all find ourselves living in has left me....looking for more.

So, I posit this...could the purpose of the GATE program be, at least in part, the opposite of what the general conspiracy for it is? What do I mean by this? From my perspective, the general conspiracy theory is that the government was targeting kids, looking for "something" special in them...be it the truly intelligent, possibly psychic affinities, whatever...to what end? We don't really know...psychic toy soldiers? Maybe. We know that the CIA was doing that in the 70s, utilizing the Gateway Experience and the work of Robert Monroe...could they have been running something like that on kids? It's certainly possible.

But here is my alternative theory, I've been going through Monroe's work...and I feel like, while he was very sterile and scientific about it and certainly not "light and love," what the predominant theme he put out there is a spiritual reality that is in dramatic opposition to the narrative that has ruled the world for centuries...essentially, he was shaping a scientific foundation for gnostic/esoteric knowledge and a pathway for people to intuitively connect to it.

In 1971, he publishes Journeys Out of the Body, putting into writing his scientific experimentation in Astral Projection and OOBE...what stands out to me in reading it is that he describes the Locale II, which is basically an infinte plane of the astral realm that a combination of every afterlife of every theology/mythology, rolled into one, it even has it's own ambivalent "god"...he notes that when you enter the plane, your intuitive predispositions put you in the right place...so, extrapolating that, if you're a good person, and a Christian, your interface with it is Heaven, if you're a bad person, you're relegated to a Hell....you go to where your karmic and psychological balance thinks you deserve to be...essentially... Not to mention the development of precognitive abilities and, essentially, dimension-hopping.

He created Hemi-Sync in 1975, which was a process to help people connect to the astral.

In 1985, he published Far Journeys (which I'm reading right now) which, right off the bat, he starts talking about the expansion of his experimentation from just his personal research, to expanded research through the Monroe Institute, which includes not just testimonials about how life-changing his program is, but also testimonials of other people getting in contact with other intelligent entities....I've got a lot more to read...

And in 1994, he published The Ultimate Journey, which I'm not sure what it is about, specifically, but from what I've gathered, he goes further into what are called Belief System Territories (BSTs) (These are specific regions within the rings where people who held strong, fixed beliefs (religious, political, or otherwise) remain after death, living in a consensus reality created by their shared expectations; Heaven, Hell, Valhala, etc.); consciousness; multidimensionality, lots of cool, esoteric stuff.

In 1995, he died. Here's the thing...he doesn't seem sinister or malevolent...he seems like a scientist/mystic who discovered something, and wanted to share it with the world. But what did he want to share with the world? A message of universal consciousness and unity...not more than that we are more than just flesh and bone, but also that our true spiritual selves were being confined by the cage of religion we'd put around ourselves.

If the public started believing what Monroe was saying, what he'd published, what he'd recorded and scientifically tested...that would be a major disruptive force to...everything....what's worse, the government knows it works, they contracted him to teach spies to use the abilities during the Cold War to spy on the Russians....well, when the Cold War ended...you can't have psychonauts running around teaching people to connect to source...they'll realize that our entire society is just lies built upon lies, that religion was a cage, that we can all connect to source and connect to interdimensional, intergalactic entities, etc....they'd become revolutionaries.

This was the 70s/80s/90s...they needed to get control of the narrative; because the cat was already out of the bag....Monroe was already well published....so they needed to discredit him, to make him look like a quack until they could figure out how to control the narrative.

SO, what if the GATE Program connection to the Gateway Experience is true? What if it was used to identify neurodivergent children to neutralize them as a preventative measure...I mean, look at most of the people who have the biggest, revolutionary impacts on society....they're certainly not neurotypicals...I see people saying again and again that they have an instinctive uneasiness when hearing the Gateway Experience tapes, the tones. I see people talking about trauma from the idea of anything related to it and lost memories.

What if the trauma and the lost memories were designed to keep you away from anything related to the Gateway Experience? Not because of horrible things that may or may not have been done...but because you are more than the sum of your parts.

Anyway, I'm gonna stop here...it's a rambling thought inspired by Robert Monroe, from the beyond. Is this the truth? I don't know, but the Truth is out there....somewhere....

I was in a gifted program in New Jersey from 1982-85. One thing I've never been able to identify again is a "computer workstation" type device that looms large in my memory.

I don't think it was actually a PC, but it was an all in one unit with an integrated keyboard, a small 5x4" screen on the left, and a large format floppy disk or cartridge drive on the right. The screen was low res and backlit, not amber or green screen like a terminal of the same era. I feel like it made a "clunk" sound when you entered your choice on the keyboard. The monitor reminded me of slides or the vision test at the eye doctor. It had object matching games and word games and I always wanted to play with it. It might have been a reward for finishing up SRA units.

Can anyone identify these machines? I'm now a collector of vintage electronics and I would really kill to get my hands on one.

Tell me all about them -- are they good, bad, dangerous for us?

My first adult encounter was 2025. I was disassociating daily, in a really bad place physically and mentally etc.

Waking up with panic, one night I tried binaural beats. It worked. I was able to go back to sleep.

But something nagged at me. "Is this dangerous?" was the feeling.

But I had that feeling about everything back then.

A quick Google search indicated binaural beats were controversial. Some said they were helpful, while others said they could induce mental health problems.

I asked a group of meditators I was meeting with weekly at the time, and some said they had good outcomes from using binaural beats, while many people had never heard of it..

I have stayed away from them ever since, but now I'm wondering if my GATEway community has some information to share, to enlighten me.

The beats did calm down my panic that one night; so why do I feel such resistance to trying it again?
