CIA report talks about space-time travel with the mind

A secret CIA report from 1983 on the "Gateway Experience" asserted
that altered states of consciousness may be able to transcend space
and time. After being declassified, the document has recently gained
popularity on social media.
In 2003, the 29-page "Analysis and Assessment of the Gateway Process"
study was made public. The paper is believed to have been a component
of a larger CIA research into whether hypnosis and mind control
theories could be applied to Cold War espionage operations.
It's a lengthy, wordy study that covers a wide range of topics, including
quantum mechanics and neuroscience, and it balances between hard
science and pseudoscience like it's walking a tightrope. It essentially
boils down to the CIA investigating the idea of inducing a profound
out-of-body experience that could possibly tune into some kind
of higher realm beyond reality.
"Fundamentally, the Gateway experience is a training system designed
to bring enhanced strength, focus, and coherence to the amplitude and
frequency of brainwave output between the left and right hemispheres
so as to alter consciousness, moving it outside the physical sphere
so as to ultimately escape even the restrictions of time and space,"
the report reads.
The technique, called the Gateway Process, is based on ideas
developed by the Monroe Institute, a nonprofit organization focused
on the exploration of human consciousness.
The theory is that certain exercises can allow the brain to
"hemi-sync", whereby brain waves in the right and left hemispheres
synchronize at the same frequency and amplitude. Hemi-sync, the
report argues, can be achieved through a series of meditation-like
exercises while listening to a set bunch of soundwaves, known
as the Gateway Tapes.
As per the report, the universe is a complex system of "interacting
energy fields" in which states are simply variations in energy. Human
consciousness is no different, according to the report, it's just
a vibrational pattern of energy.
Once "hemi-sync" is achieved, the report says, it can trigger an
altered state of consciousness in which the vibration of a person's
consciousness is free from physical reality and tunes into this pure
energy field.
Drawing on ideas of quantum entanglement, the report claims it may
be possible for human consciousness to profoundly alter the universe
since reality is a holographic projection; the part encodes the
whole. In this understanding of reality, everything is deeply
connected in a matrix of interconnected energy vibrations, from your
consciousness to the depths of the universe.
"This consciousness participates in the all-knowing infinite
continuum of consciousness which is a characteristic of energy in the
ever-present," continues the report.
"Consequently, it is accurate to observe that when a person
experiences the out-of-body state he is, in fact, projecting that
eternal spark of consciousness and memory which constitutes the
ultimate source of his identity to let it play in and learn from
dimensions both inside and outside the time-space world in which
his physical component currently enjoys a short period of reality."
Some readers of the report have dug into this idea deeper and taken
it as proof of the law of attraction - the philosophy that positive
thoughts bring positive results into a person's life, while negative
thoughts bring negative outcomes.
