[Curiosities] The secret technique of the CIA that is used to eliminate any type of pain

The document, titled the Gateway Intermediate Workbook, can be found on the CIA website and comes from the Monroe Institute of Applied Science. This is part of his Gateway Program, a training system intended to alter states of consciousness and lead to a "gateway to different modes of perception."

Inside it is a strange technique that promises to "reduce pain signals" by visualizing the body part in pain while repeating a number. The technique can be found in a part of the workbook used by the CIA that describes a number of "everyday tools," which it claims are "for use in your physical waking life."
 

In a section on how to 'reduce pain signals', he says: "Look with your eyes closed at that part of your body that is the source of the pain signals." "While looking, repeat in your mind the number 55515."

“When you do these two things, the pain signals will slowly reduce until they are no longer important.” However, the document also includes an ominous warning for those attempting to use the pain relief technique on their own.
On the first page it is stated that: “The material contained in this document is intended for the personal and private use only of those who have completed the first Session of the Gateway Program. Attempted enforcement by others may result in undesirable and uncontrolled effects detrimental to any unauthorized user."
The workbook was first declassified in 2003, but recently went viral on TikTok, where users say the technique works.
