1955.0. ""Going Home"" by VITAL::KEEFE (Bill Keefe) Sun May 22 1994 17:08

        			Going Home
    
Throughout human history, there has been a common yearning and
nostalgia for something deep in ourselves - - our true identity,
our origin. Many of us interpret this as a desire to revisit the
site of our physical birthplace and childhood. Of those who do,
most come away vaguely unsatisfied and unfulfilled. They expect
more from such visits but cannot define what they mean by
"more." 

Then there are among us ordinary people, those who sometimes
pause for a moment to reflect what it all means, but only just
for a moment. A growing number of us finally become astute
enough to realize one way or another, that each of us will
eventually be "going home," to our original point of origin - -
not HERE but THERE when we die. We seem to understand this
without keen knowledge of what "THERE" really is.

The Monroe Institute develops audio-guidance programs based upon
a determination to provide a learning process for every human
need. Of interest here is a special kind of help for those with
life-threatening illness or injuries and for their family and
loved ones. It is appropriately labeled GOING HOME.

The GOING HOME program is a set of learning exercises on audio
cassettes designed for use at a private residence, in hospitals,
hospices, and nursing care facilities. GOING HOME came into
being with the participation and support of two long-time
friends of Robert Monroe, Founder of The Monroe Institute. They
are Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D., long accepted world wide as the
leading authority on human death and dying; and Charles Tart.
Ph.D., author, university professor, and internationally known
for his research into altered states of human consciousness.

For clarity, Going Home makes the following identifications: one
who is in the last and irreversible stages of a terminal illness
or injury is called the Subject. Those who are in close loving
and loved contact with the Subject, family, friends, and
care-givers are called the Support Group.

The primary purpose of the Going Home system is to provide the
Subject with an interesting prospect of valuable knowledge
achieved though direct experience, rather than simply awaiting
death as a dull and distasteful event.

Secondary purposes of the system relate to: a) Releasing the
Subject from the fear of physical death. This is achieved by
developing in the Subject the surety that one is more than the
physical body, and one does survive physical death. b) Helping
the Subject let go of emotions, guilt, and obligations that are
no longer needed and bind one to the present physical life
experience. c) Helping the Subject recognized and remember some
of the possibilities subsequent to this present physical life
experience. d) Providing the Subject an opportunity to depart
this physical existence when one so desires. e) Providing the
Support Group of the Subject with enough exposure to GOING HOME
learning exercises, so as to assure their understanding and
encouragement for the Subject engaged in the process. Equally
important, such action can reduce greatly the stress of each
before and after the coming critical event.

These purposes are achieved by introduction to, and the
experience of, specific states of altered consciousness through
the application of a sound technology known as Hemi-Sync. This
audio-guidance technology is a product of over thirty years of
research and development by The Monroe Institute. Many thousands
of persons have successfully achieved and utilized the states of
conscious awareness generated by these sound methods and
techniques.

GOING HOME guides the individual through the various
physiological states similar to the typical stages of sleep - -
with a major exception: the mind remains alert and conscious
while the body exhibits all the signs of deepening sleep. As the
learning progresses, fewer and fewer physical body nerve signals
enter the mind until a basic inference is reached: the human
mind-consciousness does not require such physical signals in
order to exist and be active. This is a critical understanding.

Secure in this knowledge, the learning system then provides the
experience of guided visits and tours into states of
consciousness just beyond time-space - - those that are usually
entered upon departure from physical existence and explored many
times by TMI research teams. Participants with profound
religious beliefs may easily identify states of being that are
familiar, although no particular religious pattern is part of
the process. In many, a feeling of remembering may arise during
such tours which can alter significantly their mental and
emotional set when they return to physical wakefulness. Included
in such tours is a visit to the Park, an interim "way-station"
for those just completing the physical death transition, a point
of rest and recuperation if needed.

The result for one who participates in these guided visits and
tours via GOING HOME can be, at the least, a greater tolerance
of any present life situation. At the most, the GOING HOME
Subject may learn to accept death calmly, even to the point
where it becomes interesting and exciting.

The GOING HOME system also helps care-givers, family, and
friends understand better and accept the reality of the death
process so as to provide badly needed support at critical
moments. They are an equally important part of the program.
Included are methods that can be employed to help them
consistently adjust to and recover from the perceived loss of
their loved one.

1955.1Would recommend LOVE, MEDICINE AND MIRACLES.NPSS::CREEGANTue May 24 1994 19:3312
    On the same thought there is a book Love, Medicine and Miracles
    by Bernie Segal (spelled correctly?).  Bernie is an MD with a
    very humanistic mannerism.  The book deals with cancer patients
    and how he works WITH them.  He maintains that he is offering a
    service, not an all-knowing doctor who fights to sustain or
    prolong a painful / frightening death.  At one point he simply
    whispers into a comatose patient, that their spouse (also on
    his deathbed), has departed, it is time for them to meet up 
    with each other.  And the patient dies quietly within an hour.
    
    I've read the book, but the audio tapes have a bonus session at 
    the end where Bernie teaches a person to meditate.
