Far Journeys

• Understand the Earth Life System as Monroe describes it: the energetic ecosystem surrounding Earth that maintains the cycle of physical incarnation, the various non-physical residents who inhabit its different levels, and how this system functions from the perspective of a consciousness able to observe it from outside
• Grasp the Belief System Territories: how the strongly held religious expectations of deceased human beings create the specific afterlife experiences they encounter — heaven, hell, purgatory, or various other culturally specific afterlife environments — as sustained shared realities in the non-physical dimension
• Recognise the INSPEC encounter and its implications: what Monroe understood about the nature of these beings, what they communicated to him about the purpose of physical incarnation and the long arc of human evolution, and how this encounter changed his understanding of the entire enterprise he had been engaged in
• Learn the Hemi-Sync technology as Monroe describes it: how binaural beat audio creates specific brainwave states, what states facilitate OBE induction, and what the Monroe Institute's research in the decades following this book's publication added to understanding of this technology
• Appreciate Monroe's evolution as an explorer: how his conceptual framework for understanding what he was experiencing changed between Journeys out of the Body and Far Journeys — becoming at once more humble about what he knew and more confident in the reality and significance of what he was exploring
