Dr. Michael Newton Was Wrong: The Afterlife Is a Firewall

I've been working in the field of brainwave entrainment for more than 15 years. I've produced hundreds of frequencies, run thousands of EEG tests and, together with our Brainwave Entertainment Research Institut, worked on technologies that simply didn't exist before. But what happened to me on the night of February 10 to 11, 2026, topped all of it. And I really do mean everything.

The "Home" frequency from Secret Chronicles is finished

For months I've been working on Secret Chronicles, a completely new frequency series designed to make expanded states of consciousness possible. No hypnosis, no guided meditations, no voice. Just pure frequencies, music and ambience.

DeepSync™ Multi-Layer Entrainment

HOME is based on our new DeepSync™ Multi-Layer Entrainment technology. It isn't a single frequency. It's an interplay of five layers:

What makes it special: DeepSync™ works inside our MDR technology (Multi-Dimensional Room). MDR uses 8D sound and sound particles to create spatial dissociation, so your brain loses its orientation in physical space. And exactly at that moment, DeepSync™ steps in and guides you into deep theta states.

And yes, HOME also contains 40 Hz gamma frequencies. Why? Because gamma waves are associated with heightened awareness. They keep consciousness active while the body drifts into sleep. That's exactly the goal: stay aware while the body sleeps.

The EEG tests were done, and everything looked good. So I thought: now I'll just listen to it myself. Twice, before going to sleep, together with my fiancée, in our temple room, on the Astell&Kern player.

The Night

I fell asleep around 11:30 p.m. What came next was no ordinary night.

I had several dreams that all built on one another. Every dream was intense, and every dream picked up exactly where the last one had left off. I kept waking up, falling back asleep and carrying on, like chapters in a book.

But those were only the preliminary stages. The truly unbelievable part happened when I moved into the REM phase.

The Hotel Room

I woke up in some kind of hotel room, somewhere in a thermal spa. My girlfriend said we were moving to another hotel and that she'd go ahead to the car. I took a shower, came back, and suddenly there was a lady in the room. She said it was actually her room, that she had sublet it and just wanted to grab something quickly.

Then the next guests arrived and started settling in. I asked them who they were.

At that moment I realized this was no normal dream.

The Mentor

And then she came. A blonde woman. The moment she walked into the room, I recognized her. Not because I had seen her before. I recognized her because I knew her. She was some kind of mentor. A spirit guide.

She came over to me and whispered in my ear: "You can't talk about things like that so loudly here, or you'll wake up immediately. Follow me."

I said: "I still have to pack my things."

She said: "The things don't exist. This is still a dream level."

The Shift in Consciousness

She took me into a back room and explained that I was currently in the life between lives. But (and this was the first thing that surprised me) it isn't the way we know it from books.

I asked: So what is it like?

She said that if she told me, I would immediately forget everything and wake up. But she knew how to get around that.

We went to an intermediate level. There she told me things that, unfortunately, I can no longer remember. That was probably the most important part. Gone.

What I do remember: I asked a very deep question that called the Matrix into question. Her answer was that she wasn't allowed to say such things out loud, but that she really wanted to answer it for me.

And then she squirted a reddish-brown liquid into my hand.

She said: "You have time now. You won't wake up anymore."

What Dr. Michael Newton didn't know

Of course I asked every question I could think of. Unfortunately, I don't remember everything. But some of it stuck.

My mentor explained to me: Dr. Michael Newton was basically right about the levels. But it isn't the way he described it.

The Firewall

And then came the statement that fascinated me most.

She said that when people start mapping the afterlife, "those up there" don't like it at all.

Why? Her comparison was brilliant:

Everything in the afterlife is structured. There is, as she called it, an ultimate great firewall, so that existence can exist. And if you dig too deep, you end up before the "high council", and they can make decisions that have a major impact on your existence and your soul.

I find this analogy incredibly powerful. Especially because I work with artificial intelligence myself and know exactly what she means.

The Planet "White Giant"

We then spent about two hours looking around the planet I was on. It's called "White Giant". Not the one we know, it's just what they call it there.

It was beautiful. Lots of houses, everything green, farms. When I looked up at the sky, I saw other planets, like moons but bigger. The sky had blue-purple colors with a spectrum I've never seen on Earth. Simply breathtaking.

And yes, about 80% of the souls on this planet were reptilians. I have to be honest: I don't actually believe in beings like that. But they were there. Lots of them. (And no, I wasn't one of them. Neither was my mentor.)

My mentor's explanation: most souls had chosen a reptilian body because it has advantages. They don't get sick as easily and are more agile and flexible. The downside: rigid patterns they can't break out of. Strict principles.

And that's exactly why this planet was the perfect meeting place. The collective firewall toward the top is less visible here, because not as much attention is directed at it. That's why we could talk so openly there without me immediately waking up.

What this planet really is

My mentor explained something to me that fundamentally changed my view of the world:

This place, this planet, is the space where you are while you dream. When something important needs to be sorted out, with your spirit guide or your higher self, it gets dealt with here.

But (and this is important) this isn't the place you go when you die. You only get there when you really die.

God, existence and why we're here

The deepest insight of the night came almost in passing.

The great consciousness (God, the universe, whatever you want to call it) spent an eternity in a singularity thinking about itself. In that state, it developed the desire to bring its thoughts to life. It recognized the value of emotions.

It evolved to the point where it built a construct in order to experience itself in a biological organism. Combined with forgetting who you are, this creates experiences that bring this consciousness to life.

And here on Earth we do exactly what God does: we write stories, sing songs, make music, create art, shoot films, write books. That's what life is about: simply existing, expressing yourself and sharing yourself with others.

If you were to expose the whole construct, you'd merge with unity consciousness pretty quickly. For many, that's a homecoming, but you can't exist there. Existence begins at the point where you no longer know who you are and are on your way to writing a story.

The shared apartment and the end

Then I ended up in a kind of room in a shared apartment. There was a manager there with employees. My mentor said she had already said a few things she actually wasn't allowed to, and that she now had to go somewhere to sort that out.

I talked to the manager of the apartment and immediately realized: I know her. She felt extremely familiar. Her explanation: "Well, you come here almost every night. We've known each other for a very long time."

Her job: stabilizing the arriving souls. Many of them arrive "drunk", meaning in a hazy state of consciousness, and have to be prepared before they can talk to their mentor.

I wanted to ask her one last important question. She said: "Come over to the corner, we can talk there."

And at the very moment I walked over there, I lost consciousness and woke up.

🔬 Sleep analysis: night of Feb 10/11, 2026

First night with the HOME frequency (DeepSync™️ + 40 Hz gamma)

Garmin sleep stages: dark blue = deep sleep, light blue = light sleep, purple = REM, red = awake

📊 The data

Sleep time	11:31 p.m. to 6:56 a.m. (6h 37min)
Deep sleep	101 min (25%), EXCELLENT ✦ personal best
REM sleep	48 min (12%), below normal (21-31%)
Awake phases	Woke up 3×, 48 min awake time
Body Battery	33 (usually 50+)
SpO2	Avg. 95%, minimum 88%

🧠 What happened?

FIRST HALF OF THE NIGHT (11:30 P.M. TO ~3:00 A.M.)

DeepSync™️ massively boosted deep sleep: 101 minutes, which is 25% of total sleep time. Garmin rates that as EXCELLENT. The brain regenerated deeply in delta waves (0.5-4 Hz). That's the best deep sleep value since I started tracking.

SECOND HALF OF THE NIGHT (~3:00 TO 7:00 A.M.)

This is where the 40 Hz gamma frequencies kick in. At just 12%, REM sleep was unusually low. That means the brain wasn't in a normal dream state. It was in a hybrid state of consciousness: body asleep, consciousness active. This exact state has been documented in research on experienced lucid dreamers: simultaneous gamma activity during sleep phases.

THE MOMENT (~5:00 A.M.)

The 3 awake phases and 48 minutes of awake time confirm the fragmented pattern: becoming aware again and again, drifting on, until around ~5:00 a.m. the fully conscious state in the life between lives set in.

BODY BATTERY: 33

The low Body Battery despite plenty of deep sleep shows: consciousness was active all night. Garmin interprets that as "not restorative", because the watch can't measure what happened on another level of consciousness.

⚡ Bottom line

DeepSync™️ delivers the deep sleep. 40 Hz gamma keeps consciousness awake. Together they create the paradoxical state that is normally only reachable through years of meditation practice, in a single night.

What my Garmin data says

Now it gets scientifically interesting. I wear a Garmin watch that records my sleep and health data. And the data from that night fit my experience perfectly.

The 101 minutes of deep sleep are my best value since I started tracking. That means that in the first half of the night, between 11:30 p.m. and about 2-3 a.m., my brain went through intense regeneration. The DeepSync™ frequencies massively boosted deep sleep.

Then, in the second half of the night, sleep naturally shifts toward REM and lighter phases. This is exactly where the 40 Hz gamma frequencies kicked in. At just 48 minutes (12%), my REM was well below the optimum of 21-31%. That suggests I wasn't dreaming normally during the REM phases and was in a different state of consciousness instead.

The 48 minutes of awake time and the 3 awake phases confirm exactly what I experienced: waking up again and again, falling back asleep, dreaming on, until I finally moved into the fully conscious state around 5 a.m.

The minimum SpO2 of 88% also stands out. During intense states of consciousness, breathing changes: the brain is so focused on the inner experience that breathing regulation takes a back seat.

Why 40 Hz gamma is the key

And this is where things come full circle.

Normally, the brain powers down as you fall asleep: from beta (waking state) through alpha (relaxation) to theta (dream sleep) and delta (deep sleep). Consciousness gets lost along the way.

Combined with the deep theta frequencies of DeepSync™, this creates a paradoxical state: deep sleep with simultaneous gamma activity. This exact state has already been documented in research on experienced meditators and lucid dreamers. HOME creates it through frequencies, without years of meditation practice.

And my Garmin data confirm exactly that: extremely high deep sleep (DeepSync™ works), combined with low recovery and little normal REM (gamma keeps consciousness active). The frequency did exactly what it was designed to do.

What I'm taking away from this

This experience showed me that the construct behind our reality is far more complicated than anything you'll find in books. There are massive firewalls. There are structures that make sure we don't find out certain things, and for good reason.

But there are also ways through. And I believe Secret Chronicles is one of them.

I've now found a way to go there more often. I'll keep researching and reporting back.
