A former engineer with the Coors Brewing Company, Bruce A. Moen lives with this wife, Pharon, in Denver, Colorado, USA. He is an engineering consultant in his own small firm as well as author and lecturer. He claims to be able to explore the afterlife and to do retrievals. Doing retrievals means contacting people who got lost or 'stuck' after death and help them out of their isolation. This technique is based on the Lifeline program at The Monroe Institute which uses a series of Hemi-Sync sound patterns. These are supposed to shift one's focus of attention to the 'places' or levels of consciousness that people go to after physical death.

He has written several books about this subject and leads 10 to 15 workshops annually, teaching participants how to do retrievals in his Afterlife Knowledge Workshops.

The concept of focus levels by the Monroe Institute is used to define the various planes of the afterlife, i.e. the various levels of consciousness.

• Focus 1 - Physical Waking Consciousness. The level of awareness in which people spend most of their daily, waking lives.
• Focus 3 - Basic Hemi-Sync. The first level where Hemi-Sync starts to have an effect on the person.
• Focus 10 - Mind Awake / Body Asleep. The physical body sleeps and the mind is awake.
• Focus 12 - Expanded Awareness. The awareness is expanded beyond the physical body.
• Focus 15 - No Time. The awareness is expanded beyond time and place.
• Focus 21 - Other Energy Systems. The awareness is expanded to realities and energy systems beyond normal time, space and physical matter.
• Focus 22 - At this level people are unconscious or partly conscious. People in coma, suffering from delirium or dementia, under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Patients who are anesthetized or comatose. This level is chaotic, people are confused and very difficult to communicate with.

The levels above are mainly inhabited by people in physical existence. At the next levels this is not the case.

• Focus 23 - Inhabited by those who have recently left physical existence (i.e. have died). They are either not aware of this or not able to become free from their ties to life on earth. They are isolated from contact with others.
• Focus 24, 25, 26 - Belief System Territories. Somewhat similar to Focus 23, however people here are not isolated but live in groups. The inhabitants are humans from all periods and areas who have accepted and subscribed to various premises and concepts. All inhabitants of a specific territory are in contact with all others who share their beliefs. Contact with anyone holding conflicting beliefs is very limited.

• Focus 27 - The Reception Center. An artificial area created by human minds, designed to ease the trauma and shock of the transition out of physical reality. It takes on the form of various earth environments in order to be acceptable to the wide variety of newcomers. Contact and communication is open between all inhabitants. Many people living in Focus 27 provide assistance to new arrivals to help them adjust to their new situation. This is a highly organized and structured area.
• Focus 34/35 - The Gathering. Beings from many other locations within the physical universe are gathered here to witness the upcoming Earth Changes.
