Well worth every penny. Gateway being the most life changing experience of this lifetime, spiritually speaking, I have had. I highly recommend TMI's Gateway to everyone. The foods not what you would expect when you pay $2000.00 per week but I am under the impression that some changes for the better have been made. Also where the Gateway offered in California, the food is by far better, I have been told. I personally didn't go to TMI for the food or a vacation. For me, Virgina was the place to be as "source" seemed a more appropriate place to go. I have heard of others saying how they were under the impression that there was other agendas. Gouvernment oversight. Military mind control. That sort of bung. The truth of the matter is that Monroe was able to induce, through sound (hemi Sync) a meditative state that helps remote viewers in clearing their minds so to enable them to focus on their target location. That's it. I did hear one story where a guest had a psychotic breakdown. I believe you will find those who are mentally unstable in many places including some who are so paranoid, that they see the military or police or even aliens, being involved in everything. Its just not the case at TMI. Course that's only me and you never know, I could be a spy or an alien, or even a member of the Company .
