That would truly depend on your willingness to change. In my opinion, this is as it should be. Because of this, change is sometimes slow in coming.
Many people wish to use the techniques learned in TTM to effect a positive change in their lives. This desire manifests as a conscious desire because they suffer in some way and wish to change that. This type of change however can sometimes be at cross intention with some belief about themselves or others which clings for life. These beliefs reside in the subconscious content. In order to make the desired and appropriate changes, the participant will have to be willing to let go of things which no longer serve them through confronting these beliefs. They need to own them and then consciously make decisions in accordance with the change they would like to become. This takes discipline and diligence. It does not happen magically.
Having said that, change is possible. Discovery is possible. The ability to use the mind to effect such change is possible. It all depends on the willingness of those who participate.

I do not endorse any particular brand, but can say that enclosed headphones with a frequency response of 40 hz – 16 khz work best. I will also say that while mixing TTM recordings, I use Sony MDR 7506 headphones. I find these comfortable and light weight. So if you wish to hear these recordings as I do when producing them, the cost is about 100.00 US per pair.

I would say that the OBE is one of many possible transcendent experiences, but not the only one. It is quite possible to have transcendent experiences while completely awake. This experience is one of the many hallmarks of the Self Actualized / Self Realized individual. OBE’s ordinarily take place in altered states of consciousness.
OBE’s (aka Astral Projection) are considered among the many consciousness anomalies. I have had experienced them several times and have studied the mechanisms behind them for decades having worked directly with one of the original OBE explorer’s, author and founder of the Monroe Institute Robert A. Monroe who was also a personal friend of mine. They are a real phenomenon and are still an enigma.
From my perspective, the experience is quite difficult to define and even more difficult to teach, irrespective of the many experts who claim to do so. While we are still involved in OBE experiments, The TTM program does not teach one how to achieve an OBE specifically. In addition, we have no investment in taking advantage of people who wish to have this experience by making empty promises. Instead we have constructed an easy method of achieving a variety of transcendent experiences which have the same value as an OBE if well integrated. Like the OBE however, such experiences do provide at least the suspicion (if not direct knowledge) that consciousness does survive physical death. It is this knowledge that most people are seeking when attempting to have an OBE. That is assuming they are not merely wishing to entertain themselves with some fantasy. If perusing fantasy is your desire, you probably don’t want to do this work.
Yes. If done through proper channels, a transcendent experience can become something which is profoundly moving and enhances the human spirit. If proper preparation is not done however, such experiences may create disturbances in the psyche which is why drugs should never be used to open the doors of perception. Meditation is a far more effective and holistic. Meditation is also a long lasting method of achieving and integrating transcendence experience, if and when it occurs that occurs for the practitioner.
I have to answer this question because I have been asked many times, even though I find it ridiculous. The answer is no. Apparently I am not cool enough to be a member of such a prestigious albeit nefarious organization. That was a joke of course. The answer is still no.
The answer is no. I became Robert Monroe’s recording engineer/producer and a member of the lab team at the Monroe Institute in 1988, where I served for 13 years. While I was somewhat privy to the work that was done by Bob with the DIA and CIA, that program and affiliation was severed by the time I arrived. Irrespective of the many rumors floating around on the internet, I can assure you that the PSI research being done by both organizations was quite scientific and theoretical. It addressed the possibility of affecting reality through consciousness. It also addressed things like remote viewing and the possibility of utilizing psychics as spies during the cold war era. It also addressed things like using the subconscious as a means of accelerated learning. The exploration of altered states applied is quite vast.
All of that said, I have never been, nor do intend on becoming affiliated with the CIA. If I was or did intend to, I would never make a public website for the purpose of exploring and applying altered states. I would think the government would not take kindly to that and they certainly would have made their displeasure known to me by now.
I would also like to state publicly, that very few of the experts on the subject found on the internet have any real knowledge of these programs as they took place. They obviously weren’t there and irrespective of their fantastic presentations, they know nothing at all about the work. I knew Bob Monroe quite well and he shared very little with me. He was after all, a patriot at heart and a true explorer. Hope that clears the matter up.
