Members Preview | 842: He Had to Escape the Monroe Institute

RJ joins Tony to share what happened after he downloaded the Monroe Institute’s Gateway tapes and started training himself into altered states tied to out-of-body experiences and remote viewing. He explains how the practices escalated from symbols and vibrations into verified hits, strange synchronicities, and a growing sense that something was pushing back when he invoked Jesus. RJ recounts traveling to a Monroe-associated course in Arizona, where the experiences intensified fast, with powerful “connections,” bizarre interruptions, and moments that made him believe reality itself was being manipulated. After fleeing in fear and spiraling through paranoia, hooded figures, and electronic malfunctions, RJ claims the aftermath followed him home through dreams, remote viewing sessions, and a tug-of-war over his faith. In the end, he frames the entire journey as a warning: the phenomenon is real, the abilities are real, and he now believes the source is demonic, not spiritual enlightenment.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
