A “workbook” created by a secret US military program claimed to have cracked the code for reducing pain signals in the body by repeating a five-digit number.
Written by the Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences in 1977, this ‘Gateway Intermediate Workbook’ was just a training aid that the private group provided to the US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) for metaphysical espionage .
On page 14 of the 21-page document, which was Declassified by the CIA in 2003, it includes a ‘daily tools’ section for reducing pain signals, remembering life experiences, and ‘charging the body for great speed and strength.’
While many people try to reduce pain with medications, the report states that it can be achieved in minutes using only the mind.
“To reduce pain signals,” the once-secret training document advised, “look with your eyes closed at the part of your body that is the source of the pain signals.”
‘As you watch, mentally repeat the number 55515.
“When you do these two things, the pain signals will slowly reduce until they are no longer important.”
The meditation training was part of a series of top-secret CIA-funded programs since from approximately 1972 to 1995, which explored methods of expanding consciousness and human potential for spies and special operations teams.

The document states that if you close your eyes, look at where your pain is, and repeat a five-digit number, the pain will leave your body.
Many of these projects, with names like ‘Star Gate’ and ‘Grill Flame’, focused on psychic espionage or ‘remote viewing’ of areas of interest distant in time and space.
But others had more tangible physical goals, like the workbook.
“You are learning even greater ways to develop and control your physical self by applying your entire being,” the document reads. “You can use them whenever you want.”
The workbook also described a method for “charging the body for great speed and strength,” guiding U.S. Army INSCOM personnel to “close your eyes, inhale deeply, think about the physical act you are leaving.” to perform and in the strong energy of red”.
It would be as simple as that, according to the Monroe Institute team: “As you exhale, open your eyes and perform the act you want to perform.”
Another “daily tool” was intended to help subjects recover lost memories.
“To remember any part of your life experience, close your eyes and gently touch the center of your forehead with the fingers of your right hand,” the document reads.
“When you do this, you immediately remember and recall what you consciously desire.”
Today, the Monroe Institute’s unclassified approach to pain management still maintains its focus on meditation, now assisted by tonal recordings it calls Hemisynchronization (short for hemispherical sync) that play sound at specific frequencies.
Hemi-Sync’s “audio guidance technology” promotes synchronization between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, the institute claims, to improve awareness.

Citing a paper published by the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2016, the institute now holds the position that “meditation can teach you to live in your discomfort, which can ultimately teach your brain to override those pain messages and allow you to feel relief.”
Six years after the 1977 ‘Gateway Intermediate Workbook’ was written, the US Army INSCOM commissioned a report on the Gateway process from the Monroe Institute.
US Army Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M McDonnell, author of this Mind-blowing Pentagon study from 1983he recommended the then-secret process as “a training system designed to provide greater strength, concentration and coherence… to alter consciousness.”
“There is a solid and rational basis in terms of physical scientific parameters to consider that Gateway is plausible in terms of its essential objectives,” he reported.
Joe McMoneagle, a Vietnam veteran who served as Remote Viewer No1. in one of INSCOM’s psychic spy programs, is now found on the Board of Advisors and works as a ‘Gateway’ trainer for the Monroe Institute today.
The mind-blowing official Pentagon study was commissioned to better understand what Army intelligence colleagues were doing by sending staff to a small institute in Charlottesville, Virginia, the Monroe Institute, to study the group’s “Gateway Experience.”
But sometimes, according to McMoneagle, the Gateway techniques mastered at the Monroe Institute have caused the veteran psychic spy pain as well as relief.
In one disturbing case, Remote Viewer No.1 was tasked with viewing a distant ‘UFO target’ with his mind’s eye, only to encounter an apparently equally psychic and hostile ‘entity’.
“I had the sensation that something entered my being and touched a nerve ending that instantly made me sick,” McMoneagle confessed in an interview from 2021.
“I felt like I was going to projectile vomit and I hit a bump on my body, sitting up straight and colliding with my monitor,” he continued.
Recalling the episode, which left him and a colleague “with a sore head,” McMoneagle said his experiences with Gateway’s work have left him and his view of the nature of the world forever changed.
“You have to start asking yourself where reality begins and ends when you get involved in these kinds of things,” he said.
“For me this experience was very real, but I can only relate it.”
