Robert Allen Monroe , sometimes Bob Monroe (born October 30, 1915 , † March 17, 1995 ), was an American businessman, author and program director at radio and the founder of the Monroe Parapsychological Institute.

Life

Monroe came from an academic family, his mother was a doctor. He studied electrical engineering and earned an engineering degree from Ohio State University . He founded the music production company RAM Enterprises and owned radio stations and a television cable company.

According to his own account, he had an experience in 1958 that he classified as an out-of-body experience . In three books he describes processes that are supposed to be out-of-body experiences. He developed the so-called Hemi-Sync method , which supposedly enables the targeted generation of various states of consciousness and promotes out-of-body experiences.

In 1974 he founded the Monroe Institute in Faber, Virginia . There he lectured and conducted courses designed to enable other people to share the out-of-body experiences he claimed, primarily using the Hemi-Sync procedure.

The institute continued to exist after his death and that of his wife, Nancy Penn Monroe.
