The focus levels are just arbitrary numbers that Robert Monroe created to indicate the distinct levels of conciousness encountered when you move from full waking conciousness through to the astral world.
Like signposts to mark the way as you phase from one to the next.

Bruce Moen has great descriptions of each on his website.

They do go beyond focus 27, but I really recommend that you read monroes books, they're fantastic!!

[8D] Hi Kazbadan,

There is a great description of Focus levels in the Gateway Wave I pointers thread. The thread is a "sticky" located in the Welcome to Permanent Astral Topics forum. In that thread Frank states:

quote:Posted by Frank - (see: Gateway Wave I Pointers)

The whole thrust behind my thinking is to try and work out what Monroe meant when he writes about "phasing in" to the Astral as opposed to the traditional out of body experience.

What Frank refers to comes out of Robert Monroe's later work where he moved from the traditional obe to phasing. His later books Far Journeys and Ultimate Journey are relevant here. Also, Monroe put together his Gateway tapes (and later cds) wherein the term Focus Levels are described as, for example, C-1 (the physical realm), Focus 10 (mind-awake/body-asleep state), and Focus 12 (what Monroe calls a state of expanded awareness) where colors, shapes, sounds, and mental pictures both still and moving may appear.

The next level Monroe writes about (see Glossary in Ultimate Journey) is Focus 15 "another step in the phase relationship" with more attention in the nonphysical realms. Next, Focus 21, which Monroe describes as "the equivalent of deep (delta) sleep in ordinary physical life activity. However, the mind is fully 'awake' and conscious, directing the action."

Beyond the above are the lower realms of the Belief System Territories (BST), such as Focus levels 24, 25 & 26. Then, beyond the BST there is Focus 27, a label Monroe placed for that astral level where decent people would go and gather after the physical body expires. It is also referred to as "the park" because its parklike appearance caused it to be named that by Monroe.

This is hopefully helpful to you. [] What I would recommend, if you are interested, is to read all that you can in the thread I mentioned, also read Monroe, and perhaps try a binaural cd to assist with a mental primer or rundown as you do this (see Frank's post page 3 of the Achieving Consciousness State for Astral Phasing thread for an excellent example of a mental rundown).


All the best,
Nick

Many times i hear in this forum, talking about focus 10, 15, etc. What is that? Is that the hypnosys scale, used in psychology to classify the degree of hypnosis in a subject?
