About the author
Wayne M. McDonnell writes about the CIA's declassified Gateway Process research, the subject of both books listed here. "CIA Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process," published by Ancient Wisdom Publications in 2024, describes the 1983 government investigation into a consciousness-altering training system originally developed by broadcasting executive Robert Monroe, along with its links to psychic research and remote viewing. "The Gateway Experience," from Satori Publishing in 2023, is presented as a more extensive 425-page guide to the same declassified material, covering the Hemi-Sync audio method associated with the program alongside topics such as astral travel and the development of ESP. Both books work from the same underlying government document and are aimed at readers already curious about the Gateway Experience who want a guide organized around that primary source rather than general introductions to meditation or consciousness studies.
