Focus 27 (F27) · Focus levels A shared afterlife setting in Monroe-related accounts, described as a place of reception, learning and assistance.

The account places it beyond the familiar human frame and describes nonhuman intelligences gathering there. These numbers belong to that reported map; they do not demonstrate contact or identify physical locations.

A numbered label used by Monroe and the Monroe Institute for repeatable subjective states or territories associated with particular exercises and experiences; the archive does not support one standardized meaning for every integer. Editorial definition: /terminology#focus-level References: TMI Web Resources 2012 - An Overview of Focus Levels https://archive.org/details/tmi-web-2012-focus-levels Frequency Following Response (FFR; entrainment) · Research & perception A response that follows a stimulus’s frequency pattern; the Gateway report invokes it to explain how sound might influence brain activity. The report connects this proposed mechanism to its Hemi-Sync explanation. Its broader claims about consciousness do not follow merely from naming a frequency-following response. Focus-level numbers are not frequency measurements. Usage: Mechanism proposed in the 1983 Gateway report Editorial definition: /terminology#frequency-following-response
