Most people who have even touched on the subject of consciousness studies recognize that there are different states of consciousness that one experiences, for instance, as one falls asleep. There is, of course, that famous point between waking and sleep where the body goes to sleep, often with detectable paralysis, while the mind and attention remain fully awake. What is usually discussed is the progression from alpha waves through delta waves of deep sleep, but there is more to this process than meets the eye. According to the understanding provided by Robert Monroe, as the signals from the physical senses fade out while the person remains awake, there is actually a movement of consciousness deeper into this “M” field, where one eventually begins to perceive series of whole new environments and experiences. Monroe created an arbitrary series of numbers to measure the movement into the field, called “focus levels”, matching distinct perceptual frontiers that appear as awareness moves into this field with an ever-increasing numerical equivalent, creating an initial system to measure the degree of “phase shifting”.

Higher Selves on 5th density have "nodes" on the 8th density,

Incarnation becomes the Higher Self, and all 3rd density incarnations
are brought in to allow the move upward.

| 28 | Astral Bridge Zone |
Focus
28 is an astral “bridge” zone, a buffer area. Experience from
here on takes on a wondrous character, beyond anything you have
experienced on 3rd density. Focus 29 is where 5th density roughly
begins, with advanced non-physical levels extending to Focus 34, where a
great collection of Higher Selves experiencing Earth incarnations exist,
moving into Focus 35.
Once a Higher Self decides that it has had enough of Earth
incarnations, all the incarnations will be “drawn in” and the Higher
Self moves further out into the field, up into the 7th or 8th density,
where it will typically send out more “probes” of awareness to
experience things on these levels.
There appear to be several main “nodes” of the Higher Self,
the lowest density one sits on the 5th, around Monroe focus level 34/35,
at this time for most beings having 3rd density incarnational
experience. There are a limited number of these “nodes”, although
they extend well up into the density levels, where experience goes into
profound levels of expression. There are no limits whatsoever, for
anything, or anyone. You will create realities – with the experience
you have had on Earth and elsewhere you will know better what you do not
want to create, why, and how polarity-thought and lack of balance retard
progression and evolution. |

| 27 | "The Park" |
For
the adventurous who aren’t burdened by heavy belief systems and have
left their physical existence behind (or who visit here through an OBE
from the Earth’s surface), Focus 27 begins an area that was
created millennia ago, by humans who felt that people needed a
place to recover and examine life after their experience on Earth. This
level has been called “The Park”, where you can visit the library
(containing every work ever created on Earth, which of course
includes this book) and virtually all knowledge, even about things not
regarding Earth. There are also places for life review, healing centers,
classes and all sorts of activities. Within the next millennium, this
too will disappear as everyone advances and it is just not needed any
more. The "Reception Center" or "Park" Level, created by spiritual entities coming from human existence over the millennia in order to assist other aware individuals: Education, Life Review and Decision Making; Individuals who are not locked into after life belief systems learn, study and make decisions on what they want to accomplish next in terms of Soul goals. Review of other incarnations, lessons learned, etc. |
||
| 26 | Astral Bridge Zone |
Focus
26 is the last area within the band Belief System Realities, and
contains what Monroe
referred to as the “Religious Terminus”, where religious
groups, people of every ironclad Earth belief system, congregate until
they realize there is more beyond where they are. There is even a temple
of Zeus, with some people having even chosen to appear like “jesus”
and every other religious figure in order to play with, control or
manipulate the “ex-humans” who haven’t progressed. There are
people here, flush with the new-found power of personal reality
manipulation, who see themselves as “god” and even go so far as
demanding to be worshipped! Remember the book War in Heaven?
Monroe related just such an incident in Ultimate Journey and
described these areas in detail in Far Journeys. |

| 25 | Astral Bridge Zone |
Focus
25
continues the 4th density band of Belief System Realities,
where groups of people who still maintain strong belief systems fueled
by 3rd density Earth cultural concepts congregate by resonance,
since “like attracts like”. This level is
also populated by discarnate entities or those stuck in aberrant
behavioral patterns, which prevent them from realizing crucial aspects
about the nature of reality and moving on. There
are areas in which entities stuck in every major Earth thought pattern
congregate, until they happen to wonder if there is more, and then
they appear to “wink out” and appear in another 4th
density area coincident with their thought patterns, or move to
whatever resonant place suits them. Belief System Realities. Astral Level often populated by discarnate entities or those stuck in aberrant behavioral patterns which prevent them from realizing crucial aspects about the nature of reality and moving on. |
||
| 24 | Astral Bridge Zone |
Focus
24 begins
the area of where the malleable nature of reality makes it readily
apparent that realities are literally, “hands on”, a product of what
you belief them to be, as one may or may not realize one’s total
responsibility for what one is literally creating. This level is
populated by discarnate entities or those stuck in aberrant behavioral
patterns which prevent them from realizing crucial aspects about the
nature of reality and moving on. Focus 24 is also described as part of Locale
II.
(Journeys Out of the Body). Focus
24 is the beginning of the area of Belief System Realities, which
extends to Focus 26. Belief System Realities. Astral Level populated by discarnate entities or those stuck in aberrant behavioral patterns which prevent them from realizing crucial aspects about the nature of reality and moving on. |

| 23 | Astral Bridge Zone |
Focus
23 is the temporary residence of those who separate from the
physical under traumatic circumstances, through suicide, sudden death or
disasters. Insane or near-insane emotionally driven beings are present.
Sexual release is motivation of entity inhabitants.
This level is also known as the beginning of Locale
II (Journeys
Out of the Body). The beginning of reality “where thought is
action.” .
For further description of the activities, and denizens of this
area, please refer to Journeys. Lower Astral Level
populated by recently deceased individuals from Earth who do not realize
their transition, or believed there was no existence after physical
existence (billions of entities remain here asleep), and those who are
temporarily stuck. Level 23 is the temporary residence of those who
separate from the physical under traumatic circumstances, through

| 22 | Astral Bridge Zone |
The vast level of Focus 22 is characterized by human dream realities, as conscious awareness moves further into the field. Lucid dreaming, of course, is characterized by full awareness and the knowledge that you can control the reality you are dreaming (producing). It is that knowingness which transforms the experience into a lucid one. Being in Focus 22 and not awake is typical of someone who is in a coma. This is a place where your awareness begins to move further into non-physical 4th density, and your thoughts begin to directly manifest. Everything you think, is. Focus 23 is a lower astral level populated by recently deceased individuals from Earth who do not realize their transition, or believed there was no existence after physical existence (billions of entities remain here asleep), and those who are temporarily stuck. Consciousness dissociates from the physical body and becomes independent. THOUGHT BEGINS TO
DIRECTLY MANIFEST |

| 21 | Astral Bridge Zone |
The state externally characterized by physical deep sleep and production of Delta-waves, with the mind fully conscious is called Focus 21. In Ultimate Journey, Monroe termed Focus 21 as “the maximum range of comfortable phase relationship between time-space and M field participation – the edge”, and said that from this level of conscious awareness one could verify all the material and concepts related in his books. It is also at Focus 21 where it becomes apparent that movement from “place” to “place” is a function of will, and that your real intention is a key to where you will end up, instantaneously. Experiences are stripped of matter, space and time constraints. Travel is instantaneous and space is relative. 4th Density Crossroads. Populated by various kinds of beings. End of the space-time continuum as we know it. 4th Density energy domain and forms of consciousness |

The next level of interest was tagged Focus 15, marked by an extremely small amount of sensory input from the physical and even more in the “M-field”. At this level intuitional experience becomes very strong. A timeless place containing quantum or large groups of information rather than detailed bits. Information about other places, people, and elements of different time periods can be accessed here and will sometimes be transmitted in “bundles of meaning” (Monroe calls them “rotes”). At this level intuitional experience becomes very strong. |

appears that between major areas “depths” of focus, there are zones
where there is not much activity at all, so-called “Null Zones”.

Focus 12. Monroe used to use hemi-synch techniques, unique sounds patterns, to induce movement into this area. After one has been to Focus 12 enough times, the external sound patterns are no longer necessary. According to Monroe, on Focus 12 lies the “gateway” to the Higher Self, among other things. A part of what one experiences in Focus 12, at least in the early stages, are movement of patterns and colors, and geometrical shapes. One method used to reach the Higher Self is included in the Q&A section. Focus 12 is a level where individual can have an access point to intuitional information about all their incarnations. Experience begins to include intuitional information processing from feeling-based data. The mind perceives through non-verbal precognitive filtering systems. Access to usual human senses is diminished by about 80%. Synesthesia is a common experience at this level of focus, where one experiences feeling colors, seeing sounds, etc., as sensory processing begins to change. Level where individual can have access to information about all their incarnations. Experience begins to include intuitional information processing from feeling-based data. The mind perceives through non-verbal precognitive filtering systems. Access to usual human senses is diminished by about 80%. S ynesthesia is common. |

The first step in focus is called Focus 10, which is generally described as being in that place where the body is asleep but the mind is awake and alert, the mind focus being slightly shifted from a normal state of being awake, with input from the physical senses much reduced. According to Monroe’s research, this level is consistent with the point of conscious entry into the physical world (Point of conscious entry into 3rd density Earth Incarnation) | |
