A BRIEF HISTORY OF REVERSE SPEECH
|
|
|
|
For those readers who are new to this entire Reverse Speech
|
|
phenomena, here is a brief history of its discovery and growth over
|
|
the years.
|
|
|
|
Like all new discoveries in the history of humanity, the growth and
|
|
realization of Reverse Speech has been a gradual process. It first
|
|
began back in the late sixties when The Beatles placed hidden
|
|
backward messages onto some of their albums hinting that Paul
|
|
McCartney died.
|
|
|
|
Excited teenagers around the world began to play records backwards
|
|
to find these messages. Before too long other backward messages were
|
|
found that had not been placed deliberately but occurred as a result
|
|
of a reversal of the sounds of speech.
|
|
|
|
The scene was set. A fad started and it wasn't too long before many
|
|
other people claimed to be finding reversed messages (or Backward
|
|
Masking) in recordings.
|
|
|
|
These included TV technicians, sound men AND religious
|
|
fundamentalists. With no explanation for these messages, most wrote
|
|
it off as either imagination or too 'weird' to spend any time on it.
|
|
But not the fundamentalists.
|
|
|
|
They claimed it was the work of the devil possessing the musicians
|
|
and manipulating their voices so that subliminal messages could be
|
|
placed onto rock and roll records so that youth of our society could
|
|
be 'programmed' into the devil's way of thinking.
|
|
|
|
They had a field day for a while, conducting crusades against the
|
|
devil's music together with record burning parties and hate books
|
|
against the entire rock and roll industry.
|
|
|
|
In 1982, their cries reached the US senate and The United States
|
|
House Of Representatives passed 'House Resolution 6363', a bill
|
|
introduced by Robert K. Dornan that called for all records suspected
|
|
of containing Backward Masking to have a warning placed on the front
|
|
cover of the album.
|
|
|
|
Then in November 1983 some bloke from Australia dropped a tape
|
|
player in a toilet bowl. This useless piece of machinery, which now
|
|
played only backwards was promptly thrown in a junk box and
|
|
forgotten about.
|
|
|
|
A few months later this bloke (David Oates) was running a halfway
|
|
house for street kids when one of the youth asked him what he
|
|
thought about "all these Satanic messages" on rock and roll.

|
|
|
Being somewhat of an electronics buff with a keen interest in the
|
|
unknown, David retrieved his broken down tape player and began
|
|
experimenting.
|
|
|
|
It wasn't too long that he realized that there really was something
|
|
there. He ran numerous electronic tests and discovered that the
|
|
messages did actually exist and it could be proven electronically
|
|
that they did.
|
|
|
|
His curiosity was aroused and over the next two years playing tape
|
|
recordings backwards became quite a fervent hobby for him. He found
|
|
numerous reversed messages across a wide cross section of
|
|
recordings, ranging from songs to advertisements to political
|
|
speeches to normal conversations.
|
|
|
|
In 1987 he was joined by his life long friend Greg Albrecht and for
|
|
the first few months of '87 they worked furiously to try and unravel
|
|
this mystery.
|
|
|
|
They came up with the theory of "Reverse Speech" and isolated many
|
|
common patterns to this strange new phenomena, at the same time
|
|
compiling a book "Beyond Backward Masking". Then in November '87,
|
|
their book all ready, they officially announced to the Australian
|
|
public that they had discovered another form of human communication
|
|
or "The Seventh Sense".
|
|
|
|
Media interest was intense and their work was featured on numerous
|
|
current affair TV programs, magazines and radio broadcasts.
|
|
|
|
But it was not all an easy road. They were either met with ridicule
|
|
or "Who cares" attitudes. It became obvious to both of them that if
|
|
Reverse Speech was ever going to be accepted then a lot of hard work
|
|
was in front of them.
|
|
|
|
At that stage Greg Albrecht pulled out of the research, his own
|
|
career beginning to suffer, and David continued alone with a fervent
|
|
zeal to understand Reverse Speech more and to have their findings
|
|
accepted and recognized.
|
|
|
|
Things moved fairly rapidly from there. EEG testing indicated that
|
|
the brain responded to, and understood, reversed messages. Reverse
|
|
Speech was used successfully by the Australian police force to solve
|
|
a crime.
|
|
|
|
Well known American linguist and co-founder of the Neuro-Linguistic-
|
|
Programming (NLP) techniques, Dr. John Grinder, endorsed their
|
|
findings at a conference in Sydney and David was offered a job in
|
|
Brisbane to use Reverse Speech in a therapeutic situation. He
|
|
accepted this and began to experiment with Reverse Speech even more,
|
|
refining procedures and theories, and collecting massive amounts of
|
|
information that supported the hypothesis of Reverse Speech.
|
|
|
|
In 1989, the first official research institute for Reverse Speech
|
|
was formed (in association with Martin Stiles and John Suess), David
|
|
was approved for a research grant and the train kept on moving. He
|
|
began to lecture on the topic extensively across Australia,
|
|
conducting training and instigating further research programs.
|
|
|
|
In June 1989, he applied for trademarks, patents and intellectual
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
property rights for Reverse Speech and travelled to the United
|
|
States to lecture on Reverse Speech there. The reception he received
|
|
was overwhelming and, as a result, he moved to Dallas, Texas in
|
|
August 1989 to conduct training, lectures and prepare Reverse Speech
|
|
for its launch onto the world scene.
|
|
|
|
Now, in March 1990, after many frustrating months, Reverse Speech is
|
|
prepared and all ready to go. David has established an international
|
|
organization for the public dissemination of information and set
|
|
strict research standards for its location and analysis.
|
|
|
|
Reverse Speech is on the launching pad, the countdown has started,
|
|
the spectators are in position and the world waits.
|
|
|
|
What will happen? History will tell the tale.
|
|
|
|
Reverse Speech is about to see life.

SOME COMMENTS ON REVERSE SPEECH
|
|
|
|
Newsletter for the Australian NLP Society (Dec. '87):
|
|
|
|
"...This may turn out to be discovery that could turn our
|
|
knowledge of languages, and how the mind works with language,
|
|
into a world shaker!"

People Magazine (2/1/88):
|
|
|
|
"They can prove they have discovered the seventh sense - a way
|
|
to read people's minds ... It's a totally new area and there
|
|
are no experts, but the influence of this discovery could be
|
|
enormous."

|
Brisbane Sun (March '89):
|
|
|
|
"he makes serious claims to support his theory ... a pioneer in
|
|
linguistic theory ... anyone prone to criticism of the Reverse
|
|
Speech theory would be advised not to have their comments
|
|
recorded."

|
|
|
Dallas Times Herald - USA (June '89):
|
|
|
|
"As Oates played some famous speeches you could hear audible
|
|
gasps of recognition in the audience ... Think of the fun
|
|
journalists will have next time a politician says read my
|
|
lips."

"I believe that his work is of the highest importance -
|
|
breaking entirely new ground and with significant implications
|
|
for the way we understand and utilize our human capacities for
|
|
communication ... David is single minded and relentless in his
|

"In September 1989, I began a study of reverse speech under
|
|
the direction of Mr. David Oates ... Using Reverse Speech as
|
|
a tool to allow the client to communicate with self can
|
|
significantly reduce the length of client therapy time ...
|
|
Reverse Speech is a major breakthrough in communication ."

"David Oates brought his genius, skill and determination,
|
|
displayed in his pursuit and development of Reverse Speech,
|
|
to his therapeutic work. With his unique investigative tool,
|
|
David is able to engage the therapeutic patient very rapidly
|
|
and intensely. This can produce rapid change quickly, even in
|
|
chronic situations."

"I refer to your request for advice on legal implications of
|
|
reverse speech. I have heard your tapes and am personally
|
|
satisfied that it does clearly exist ... It would seem quite
|
|
clear that it is open to the police to use tapes to search
|
|
for reverse communication which may help them with their
|
|
investigations ... It seems it would have significance to
|
|
finding out information of a sensitive political, military or
|
|
industrial nature ... I think it is such a can of worms that
|
|
it will be dutifully ignored by all and sundry with a desire
|
|
that you will just go away and hide the research."

"Your interpretations of the reverse speech found on the
|
|
television interview with a high ranking corruption suspect
|
|
have paid off ... Armed with this information the
|
|
investigative team was able to identify a geographical
|
|
location to investigate. They found substantial real estate
|
|
property belonging to the suspect which he had earlier denied
|
|
owning ... Congratulations David it works."

"David is at this point entirely satisfied that he has many,
|
|
many examples to demonstrate the phenomena ... The notion
|
|
that language can carry extra secondary and tertiary messages
|
|
as well as the overt manifest content is well know to many of
|
|
you who have studied the works of Dr. Erickson, where double
|
|

and triple messages are the standard practise in such a

device."

"The interest in reverse communication has been growing and
|
|
it is fast becoming known internationally. To this affect I

have invited David to present his work at the International
|
|
Experiential Psychotherapy Conference to be held in Germany
|
|
in 1990."
