DEDICATED TO:
BOB AND NANCY MONROE ,
whose love and devotion to each other have spilled over
into The Monroe Institute, making it what it is today and
in turn transforming thousands of lives . . .
NANCY LEA (SCOOTER) HONEYCUTT
Nancy's daughter, whose radiant personality, brilliant
mind, and executive abilities have positively affected many
lives through her dedication to the work of The Monroe
Institute over the years . . .
LAURIE A. MONROE,
Bob's daughter, whose loving and sensitive nature, com-
bined with her excellent management skills, confidently
carries the Institute into the twenty-first century . . .
GEORGE DURRETTE,
Bob's forever-faithful silent partner and my good friend
always . . .
MELISSA WOODR ING JAGER,
my wonderful friend and teacher, and Bob's confidante
and trainer, who for several years helped to transform lives
through her Gateway Voyage training sessions and contin-
ues to do so through her dedication to the joys of living and
Baba. . .
OTHER VERY SPECIAL MONROE INSTITUTE SERVERS:
The other Honeycutts (Nancy's children)—talented art-
ist Cindy, who is dear to my heart and taught me a lot
while I worked with her at the Monroe Packing Shed;
Penny, the stand-up comic who is now a trainer; and
Terry (A.J.), rny movie buddy and now Institute

Helen Warring, a Monroe Institute legend and my spiri-
tual mentor . . .
Paul Andrews, my special friend, who successfully
managed The Monroe Institute on the West Coast for
years . . .
The many dedicated trainers, some of whom are Karen
Malik, Ann Martin, David Mulvey, Bill Schul, and Chris
Lenz.. .
Bob's other Explorers, who ventured out, as I did, into
cosmic dimensions . . .
MY INVISIBLE HELPERS—MY ANGELS ,
who have reached across the cosmos to make these
amazing journeys possible and who have given me the fol-
lowing affirmation that I repeat regularly as I swirl around
in God's radiant energies: "I am light, manifested in love,
expressed in joy, joy, joy!"
