PROFESSIONAL DIVISION OPENS
At long last, 1980 heralds the official opening of
the Institute's Professional Division.
In response to many requests, the Professional
Division is designed to assist researchers,
clinicians, practitioners, educators, and related
organizations in the application and additional
study of the Institute hemi-sync techniques in
their particular field of endeavor. The Division will
offer special hemi-sync tapes for use by
Professional Members in research or private and
clinical practice. Research data from members
and other sources also will be circulated among
such membership.
In addition, weekend seminars for training and
research in the application of hemispheric
synchronization will be held frequently at The
Center in Virginia. (See accompanying 1980
Schedule). The Professional Division Executive
Committee is composed of Arthur Gladman, M.D.,
Stuart Twemlow, M.D., Todd Mickurea, M.D.,
Fowler Jones, Ph.D., William Schul, Ph.D., and
Mary Jane Ledyard, Ph.D.
Among present areas to be considered are
stress-tension reduction, control of pain,
psychotic state remission, drug and alcohol
addiction, autistic and other childhood
disfunctions, post-stroke therapy, creativity, and
accelerated and specialized learning.
Letters of invitation are now being mailed to
those who already have expressed an interest in
Professional Membership. If your activities lead in
this direction, write or phone the Institute in
Virginia for information and application forms.
SUSTAINING MEMBERSHIP CHANGE
Effective immediately, the Emergency
Treatment Tape Series will no longer be available
on loan to Sustaining Members. Instead,
members may purchase the series outright for
their own private unlimited use.
This is the Institute cassette tape program for
use during major surgery, illness or injury which
has proved so successful in bringing about fast
recuperation and healing, as well as control of
pain and post-operative shock. The problem has
been that when loaned, the tapes have rarely been
returned. Members have preferred to keep them
ready in their "medicine chest" in the event of
another emergency.

CREATIVITY WORKSHOP
Hemispheric Synchronization - coherent and
simultaneous electrical wave forms throughout
the brain cortex - has been remarkable as a state
of creativity in many directions. Gateway
participants have written books, poetry, painted
pictures, and composed music as a result.
This year, the Institute offers a special series of
Creative Workshops, aimed directly to enhance
the ability of the artist, writer, and composer. (See
1980 Schedule). They will be held in the pastoral
environment of the Center in Virginia. Each
participant will be able to utilize the various types
of Institute Hemi-sync sound techniques that best
suit his needs. The Workshops will be offered over
long weekends, and will include meals and
housing at the Institute Center.
For information and reservations, phone or
write the Institute Headquarters in Virginia.
EXPLORER TAPE COMMENTS
(EB) "I have a pervading sense of happiness, of
the goodness of things. So much of the content of
the tapes reaffirms a lifelong philosophy which I
had singlehandedly developed (I thought!) during
the years -- my passionate love of the earth and its
people and all its life forms, my early rejection of a
god and of religion as a freezing of development,
my acceptance of death without fear as a natural
condition of life, and many smaller details. I feel
re-assured and re-confirmed and at the same
time encouraged to go on seeking new
depths/heights of 'knowing.' ..
(MP) "I am
delighted with them, and find no conflict of belief,
in fact, a feeling of affirmation of what I already
believe about the nature of reality, Christ's life, the
meaning of it, and that the "second coming" is
really in ourselves. The churches have long
distressed me, so there is consensus there. I have

also shared the tapes with the following people
who are in agreement with the above reaction to
the tapes: A former teacher, who experienced
spontaneous Kundalini and was given the
contract to teach consciousness raising using
sound (emitted by herself). A Quaker who has
spent time in Ashrams in India. Each of these
persons have also shared the tapes with their
close groups, so there is a spreading circle of
affirmation of the contents of the tapes" ....... (KP)
"Interesting material to say the least. It has
provided all of us a clearer conception of how you
are functioning with your work in VA. Personally it
provides many things to think about and work on.
It is reassuring to hear the structures hinted at in
your work confirmed by these tapes" ..
...
(WB)
"The discourse on side two of the tape about the
Christ Consciousness and Jesus was as clearly
stated as possible. As far as I am concerned it is a
masterpiece in philosophy. It is sure a pity that the
average man and woman on the street cannot be
aware of this discussion." ..
(EB) "And of such
unmistakable quality/authenticity/perceptive-
ness/clarity. Was thrilled to hear the Earth
referred to as a "living entity" for I have a lifelong
passionate love of this beautiful ball we stand on,
and a firm identification with it as a life form. It will
take many more listenings before I can sort out
the myriad thoughts and make them my own,
discarding the debris of my own thoughts and
establishing the beauty of these words/concepts
in my heart. Because it is the beauty of the system,
the compassion, the dignity of the process, the
governance and substance that shine out. Beauty
and love, that most abused word for which there is
no substitute"
