Mike Turner’s Explorer commentary contrasts observing and reporting with analyzing what an experience must mean. This is his comparison with remote-viewing language, not a verbatim term attributed to the original Explorer speaker. Usage: Mike Turner’s retrospective session commentary Editorial definition: /terminology#analytical-overlay References: Explorers Project Reporter: Mike Turner https://archive.org/details/explorer-reporter-mike-turner Belief System Territories (BST; belief territories) · Accounts & ideas Afterlife environments said to be shaped by shared beliefs, in Bruce Moen’s descriptions of Focus 24–26. Moen contrasts shared communities here with isolation in Focus 23. The term names a feature of his reported map, rather than a judgment about a reader’s beliefs. Usage: Bruce Moen, quoted in the archived overview Editorial definition: /terminology#belief-system-territories References: TMI Web Resources 2012 - An Overview of Focus Levels https://archive.org/details/tmi-web-2012-focus-levels Binaural beats (binaural beat stimulation; BBS) · Programs & audio A perceived beat associated with presenting slightly different tones separately to the two ears. The Gateway report uses a difference-frequency explanation for this audio technique. A 1990 journal abstract reports a study of binaural stimulation and alpha biofeedback. The audio phenomenon and claims about its broader effects should be evaluated separately.

The 1990 research abstract describes visual feedback about alpha brainwave activity and compares it with audio stimulation. Biofeedback supplies a measured signal; a participant’s report of a Focus level is a different kind of evidence.

The 1990 journal discusses this as a memory gap and offers state-dependent memory as an explanation. The 1983 Gateway report also uses “clicking out” for a speculative account of moving beyond time and space. These are different uses; a gap in recall alone does not establish either explanation. Usage: Two distinct uses in the journal and Gateway report Editorial definition: /terminology#clicking-out References: Hemi-Sync® Journal 1990-4 (Fall) https://archive.org/details/hemi-sync-journal-1990-4-fall; (TMI-ARMY Files) 1983 - Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process https://archive.org/details/1983-analysis-and-assessment-of-gateway-process Color breathing (colour breathing) · Practice A Gateway visualization that associates vivid colors with intended changes in energy or bodily experience. The 1983 report places it in Focus 12 work and makes claims about balancing and healing. The definition describes the exercise’s imagery and purpose without treating those proposed effects as demonstrated.
