Robert Monroe Leaves His Body (1958 – 1971)Monroe is an engineer and a broadcasting executive with three US patents on Hemi-Sync binaural beats. He is not a mystic and he did not go looking for this.In 1958 his own experiments start producing out-of-body states. In 1971 Journeys Out of the Body gives the modern world the term.The Army Comes To Virginia (Early 1980s)Army intelligence officers are sent to the Monroe Institute for training as part of the remote-viewing programme that becomes Stargate.In 1983 the CIA produces the Analysis and Assessment of the Gateway Process — a technical paper on what Monroe's method is doing and why it might work. It stays classified for roughly twenty years. It is public now, and it is worth reading in full before forming a view.Far Journeys, Chapter 12 (1985) — LooshIn chapter twelve of Far Journeys, Monroe reports intelligences telling him that human beings are livestock. Engineered, farmed, and maintained to produce a rare substance — rendered as loosh, luch, louch — generated by intense emotion. Love and hate. Pain. War. Religion. Sex.The framing is agricultural and not personal. Nobody hates the herd. A farm is not cruel, it is productive, and the animals are looked after precisely because the yield matters.On that reading our institutions are not failing. War, religion, mass spectacle, outrage media and the sexual economy are not malfunctions of civilisation — they are the extraction architecture, and they are working.Monroe was depressed for months afterwards. The book was shelved under New Age and ignored.Monroe found in modern terms what the ancient origin of civilization at Sumer used mankinds first writings to describe and manage through blood sacrifice. The simulation goes full loop.
