Chapter 1: What happens when consciousness leaves the body?
Welcome back to the Gateway. Last time, I finally got my wish and was remote visiting France. I went back to 1944 to try to find out what happened to my father. This was thanks to a surprise visit from the world-renowned scientist Itzhak Bentov, who had come by at great personal risk. I'm here. I can't believe it. I expected to be an observer. Turns out I was a participant.
And here we are, back to the tale. Me in France in 1944, and you, the listener, on the edge of your seat, wondering what happens to me back there. Well, I ducked just in time. The machine guns missed me, but the mortar didn't miss them. Germans? Okay, I guess not. In the distance, I saw a group of Americans.
Chapter 2: How does Itzhak Bentov assist in the Gateway Process?
I knew I could find my father if I could just talk to them. I started running.
Hey! Americans! Friendly! Friendly over here!
McDonald. Wake up. That's an order. General? Wait, no, I was just in France. The next time you do that, you will actually be aboard a C-130. Do you understand? Sir? All further exploits on this mission will conform to a carefully planned schedule.
Chapter 3: What challenges does Lt. Col. McDonnell face during the experiment?
Am I clear? Crystal clear, sir. What about Itzhak? Mr. Bentov? You ought to have no further contact with him. Do not attempt to have contact with him. Do not even mention his name. Do you understand, soldier? Roger that, sir. He flew out of here on one of three helicopters that just took off.
Those helicopters will land at three different airports where he and multiple decoys will then take off on several different planes going on to different destinations. Sir? Not even I know which one has the real bent off. The decoys don't have any idea either. Nobody does.
Chapter 4: How does General Addis exert control over the program?
Is that all really necessary, sir? Ask the families of the dead from that crashed flight. You have your orders. Follow them or you'll be counting icebergs in the Arctic Sea. Copy? Your orders will be followed to the letter, General. And you will file a full report every Friday? Yes, sir. Today's activities won't ever be mentioned in those reports. Are we clear? Crystal clear, sir. Dismissed.
I indeed had a small piece of a German artillery shell removed from my shoulder. General Addis took control of our program. The next week I saw Monroe and the lovely Nurse Fields again, but they were restrained.
Chapter 5: What is the significance of the call from McDonnell's mother?
Monroe's wings had been clipped, as had his ego. Today we'll be working our way into Focus 3 and starting Hemisync. Again? Come on! Look, please, please do not push me. I'm trying to get you where we need you within our new guidelines. I understand, but we keep doing the same low-level tapes. I'm going nowhere. We will follow the schedule as directed by General Addis.
He'd been brought to heal by the General. The General signed the checks, not me.
How is your wound healing?
It was minor.
Next time, wear body armor.
There isn't going to be a next time.

Chapter 6: How does Nurse Fields contribute to the unfolding events?
Not anytime soon, anyway. Beside that, they could see me. Whatever Bentov did had me really there. I can't go back in modern equipment. I'd stand out. Enough! You can't go back at all.
Lieutenant Colonel McDonald, there was a call for you from your mother. Please note, it's against protocol to give out the lab phone number. In the future, please use our residential facility number for personal calls.
Wait, I never give them... I mean, her... this number... Wait, what was the message?
She requested a return phone call. Something about a visiting friend.
She keeps thinking that my old... Is there a phone I can use?

Chapter 7: What techniques are used in the Gateway Experience?
After the session? My mother isn't well. She gets confused. I gotta call her now.
You can use the phone in my office. Follow me.
Five minutes. We have a schedule to keep. You have a charming office. Thanks for letting me use it.
Of course. Hit nine for an outside line.
Thank you.
We'll be ready for you in the lab.
Thank you for calling Sunset Acres.

Chapter 8: What revelations occur during the Hemisync session?
Do you know your party's room or extension? Connect me with Mrs. McDonald in 403, please. Thank you. Just one moment.
Mrs. McDonald's room.
Nurse Williams? It's Wayne McDonald. Is my mother available?
She's resting now. We had a rough day. She had a pretty good morning, but later on felt lost again. Confused.
I got a message that she called.
I apologize for that. She claims one of your friends wanted her to call you. We think she's experiencing lucid dreams. Convincing herself she's seeing people who aren't there.
That's unfortunate.
She was quite insistent. Wouldn't rest until we put the call through. We thought you might be able to talk her down. Sorry for the disruption, sir.
No problem. I just, I shouldn't be receiving calls at the Institute except in emergencies. Use my answering service through the base. 301-555-2293. Captain Parsons can reach me 24-7. And thanks for taking care of her. I'll be out to visit again in two weeks.
