Exclusive Interview with the Last Living Member of The Gateway Experience: Mark Certo

The Gateway Experience was a joint research project between the CIA and the Monroe Institute, developed by Robert Monroe to explore remote viewing and out-of-body experiences using binaural beat technology (Hemi-Sync) to alter consciousness. Mark Certo, the interviewee, was Monroe's sound engineer and close friend, directly involved in creating the original audio and advancing the research. He clarifies that the program's true purpose was self-realization and understanding our interaction with a larger "hologram" of consciousness, not nefarious government goals. Certo dismisses conspiracy theories, including fears of mental control or predatory entities, emphasizing these techniques cannot be weaponized as they require heart-mind coherence. He has since developed his own platform, the Triad Mind, which extends this work into a practical, fear-free meditation program focused on expanding awareness and personal growth, moving beyond just transcendent experiences.
