Bob Monroe was directly involved in developing Lifelines, which is Focus 27. He wrote about The Gathering and The Emittor and these are far beyond Focus 27. Franceen King developed the actual programs beyond Focus 27. What I meant was that the most advanced Monroe Institute program is at what they have designated Focus 34/35 and Foicus 49. This information was given as guidance in answer to Franceen's question, "What Focus level would this be if we were using the Monroe levels for understanding?",

My experience confirms this generally, but I try to avoid the nomenclature of Monore Institute, not only because many of them are trademarks, but also because they literally threw me out of their trainer's program for asking too many questions and knowing too much about the place. Laurie Monroe was a good friend and we spoke frequently before she died...

Anyhow, Starline, Exploration 27, Timelines and such were all developed after Bob passed over by people assocaited with the place. The research (The Explorers program) was shut down in the early 1990's and no independent research has been done there since. However, new programs based on the same old frequencies are still being developed there. Eighty percent of the people who go to Monroe never go beyond the Gateway Program, which is the first week long program required for all others. They all cost $1995, though there is a $200 discount if you go to an Outreach program (which cost about $200). As there are almost 50 new Outreach trainers, you may see one near you soon. They are very interesting and fun, but only take you to Focus 15, and not out of body (which starts at Focus 21). Sorry for all the Monroe-speak.

I hope this helps clear up the confusion.
