About the Author

Prologue

In the late 1980's, an Australian researcher by the name of David John Oates made one of the most monumental discoveries of the twentieth century. Before we delve into what this discovery was, it is important to first understand the mindset many individuals had at the time, because it wasn't understood by the majority of the public, with regards to a phenomenon we now know as Reverse Speech. The year was 1971; Led Zeppelins song Stairway to Heaven was at the top of the charts. America was still involved in the Vietnam War, which at the time had already dragged on for twelve years. During these troubled times, many fundamentalists were warning about the dangers of rock music coming from bands such as the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and the Doors. Subsequently as the sound and lyrics of rock music continued to worsen it eventually progressed to what was known as the Satanic Panic in the early 1980's.

During this time many Preachers were claiming that Satan was influencing rock musicians to create demonic music with the sole intent of brainwashing America's youth. Pastors from all over the United States were playing records backwards claiming that satanic messages could be heard in reverse. This analogy, although farfetched, wasn't entirely untrue. There were indeed messages found when music was played backwards, however, these messages were not the doing of demons, but rather a normal function of everyday human communication. It is an unfortunate fallacy for people to demonize that which they do not understand. Fortunately, there was an individual who was not willing to accept the answers given by many fundamentalists of the time concerning this phenomenon.

Around 1987, David John Oates published one of the first books ever written about backwards messages, titled Beyond Backward Masking, which wasn't claiming such messages were from the Devil. By complete accident, he stumbled upon a phenomenon we know today as Reverse Speech. At the time, David was working at a halfway house for underprivileged teenagers. One night these teenagers stormed into his office frantically quoting select sermons claiming that demons could be heard when playing certain rock and roll songs backwards, citing Led Zeppelins Stairway to Heaven in particular. Startled and upset by what he was hearing, he decided to investigate the matter further to debunk such theories and put the kid's fears to rest. Using a rigged instrument; A tape player which had been rebuilt incorrectly and could only play tapes backwards, David investigated the kid's claims and was shocked to discover that messages could indeed be heard in reverse. This discovery, whether realized or not, led to the development of theories which would inevitably change the way humans view the art of verbal communication forever.

Upon discovering these backward messages, David proceeded to take his research further, with the question in mind If messages could be heard in music when played backwards, are they also present in everyday human communication? The answer to this is yes. Communication is bi-level, both forwards and backwards (Oates, 1996). This is true for all human beings. In fact, Reverse Speech is our primary mode of communication, in other words we all learn how to speak in reverse before we learn how to speak forwards. While this idea may seem completely preposterous, the research conducted by Mr. Oates, as well as other Reverse Speech Analysts, myself included, proves otherwise.

With the question of whether backwards messages occur answered, David set out to determine why, and how, this phenomenon was taking place. At the heart of his research lies the ability to change an individual's behavior. This concept really goes beyond the traditional methods employed by modern behaviorists in that it attempts to alter an individual's behavioral constitution through internal rather than external stimuli.

This book is broken down into two parts. The first part details the theories developed by the founder of Reverse Speech, David John Oates. The second part deals with the practical application of these theories through experiments conducted by my own individual research. It is my hope that the application of these theories in my own life, and my subsequent findings, will benefit both Reverse Speech hobbyist and practitioners alike. We have just begun to scratch the surface of Reverse Speech Theory. There are many more discoveries waiting to be found which will surely have revolutionary implications on how we as a society view ourselves and our relationship with God. While the theories presented are completely secular, rather they do not endorse any particular religion; the phenomenon itself is very spiritual in nature. Reverse Speech, at its deepest level, deals with the state and condition of the human Soul. I have no doubt in my own mind that God exists, and so does the fact that all of us, regardless of creed, have a Soul which possesses truly divine capabilities. Sadly, many of us live our entire lives completely unaware of its existence.

Reverse Speech is a registered Trademark of David John Oates, I do not claim any ownership of his trademark, I am simply one of his students trying to bring his theories to a greater audience

Chapter One

Every deed, word or thought which has helped to make the sum total of a human life is photographed upon the subconscious of man, the as yet unconscious Soul, with as much fidelity as is the mind of the Creator written in the starry hieroglyphs upon the glittering skies. The inner self, call it the subconscious or what you will, keeps as faithful a record, as true a doomsday book, and pronounces as certain a sentence upon human life and conduct as ever the Egyptian Osiris did in his sternest mood and in Godlike justice. This is the judge of the judgment day who will judge us all. The Mysteries of Osiris, Dr. Clymer, pg.76

Dreams, what are they? Where do they come from? Why do we have them? Throughout history mankind has been both fascinated and terrified with the content of dreams. Many claim they never have dreams, in truth, we have them all the time, unfortunately in most cases, we don't remember. Dreams have been considered an important aspect of the human psyche for thousands of years by numerous cultures; proof of this rests with various religious texts as well as earlier legends and myths stemming from the Sumerians, Muslims, Jews, Greeks, and Romans. Both the Old and New Testaments contain many clues hinting to the collective view held by our ancient ancestors concerning dreams or visions coming from a Divine source. For example, in the Old Testament, Job 33:15, a passage which sheds some light on this subject is apparent. In a dream, in a vision by night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, and they are sleeping in their beds: Then he (God) opens the ears of men, and teaching, instructs them in what they are to learn. Another biblical example concerning a cultural belief that certain dreams come from a divine source can be found in the book of Numbers 12:6, He (God) said to them, hear my words, if there be among you a prophet of the Lord I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him in a dream, In the Catholic tradition, the phenomena of Divine revelation through dreams is referred to as somnia a deo missa, or, dreams sent by God. Revelations such as this are considered gifts which come from the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Catholic trinity, another emanation of the one God. These types of dreams contain distinctive characteristics which differentiate them from regular dreams in two main ways, one, they are highly symbolic and seem very real, meaning, the dream cannot be controlled by the dreamer themselves and two, ‘rays of light' usually accompany the final dream image. These luminous rays simultaneously generate a ‘rushing' sound (rhoizos) which occurs when the Soul is possessed by a God and begins to become more ‘circular' in nature, or, express the nature of the God which possessed it (Shaw, 1995). John Bosco (1815-1888), an Italian Catholic priest, paid close attention to his dreams. One dream which had a profound impact on his decision to become a priest occurred at the tender age of nine. In Bosco's memoirs he describes a dream in which he saw himself playing with a crowd of young boys who were fighting and swearing at one another. John had asked these boys to stop but they did not listen. Not being able to take being ignored much longer he threw himself into the crowd with fists rolling. Suddenly a man, who was nobly attired, appeared to him saying You will have to win these friends of yours not with blows, but with gentleness and kindness. So begin right now to show them that sin is ugly and virtue beautiful. Hearing this John did not understand what the nobleman meant, at this point the nobleman said he would provide John with a teacher, suddenly a beautiful woman appeared. She instructed John to look at the boys who were fighting and swearing earlier and they suddenly turned into wild animals This the woman told him is your real work, make yourself humble, strong, energetic, so that you'll be able to do for my children what you'll see now. Suddenly the beasts turned into gentle lambs. This confused young John and he began to cry. The woman told him that in due time he would understand after which he awoke from his dream (The Biographical Memoirs of St. John Bosco, pg 95-96) This dream would prove to be one of many which would have a profound impact on his religious views and those concerning the world at large. The metaphors used by the unconscious in this dream are rather telling as the beast represents the unruly, beastly aspects of man, from a Jungian perspective it could be seen as an aspect of the shadow. The gentle lamb represents the Christ like aspect of our beings focused more on the spiritual rather than the mundane. The nobleman would represent his Earl, the future aspect of John Bosco's true Self, this could also represent his Animus. The beautiful woman on the other hand is definitely a symbol of the Anima, although in Catholic terminology, they would probably refer to her as the Blessed Virgin Mary. The names, whether they be Isis, Anima, or Mary refer to the same Archetype ultimately. The Quran details many examples which display a general cultural importance held by the masses concerning dreams as being used by God to speak with Prophets through divine inspiration. In the Hadith-Bukhari 2:468 it is written that whenever the Prophet finished the Morning Prayer, he would face us and ask, who amongst you had a dream last night? If anyone had a dream, Mohammed would narrate it and say Ma sha'allah meaning, according to the closest English translation, God wills it. Earlier examples which predate the Quran and both the Old and New testaments can be found in the teachings of Zoroaster, whom founded one of the world’s first known monotheistic religions. According to legend, when Zoroaster was 30 years old, he went to the Daiti River to draw water for a Haoma ceremony; when he emerged he received a Vision of Vohu Manah, who took him to the other six Amesha Spentas where he received the completion of his vision (Boyce, 1979). These Visions would lead him, through a process of ‘divine inspiration', to begin teaching religious philosophies he claimed to have come from another source of intelligence beyond his own Ego, which, ironically enough, is a reflection of the doctrines and dogmas exhibited by other monotheistic faiths. In other cultures, the importance of dreams was expressed through various poems, epics, myths and legends, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, an ancient text having Sumerian origin. In tablet seven of this heroic myth, the God's reveal to Enkidu through a dream that one of the heroes must die for slaying Humbaba and the Bull of Heaven (A symbol of Taurus). Despite the protestations of Shamash the Sun God, Enkidu is marked for death. Upon receiving this news Enkidu curses the great door he fashioned for Enlils temple, also cursing Shamhat, a temple prostitute, for removing him from the wild. Shamash, speaking from Heaven, reminds Enkidu of how Shamhat fed and clothed him, introduced him to Gilgamesh who would prove to be a good friend and informed him of the future by showing how Gilgamesh would bestow great honors upon him at his coming funeral later wandering the wild consumed with grief. In this tablet alone, not only is the cultural importance Sumerians placed on dreams evident, but also the belief that dreams have uncanny abilities to predict the outcome of future events personal to the life of the dreamer. In Greek mythology, Morpheus, or, shaper of dreams, is considered the leader of the Oneiroi, the sons of night. He was attributed by the Greeks as responsible for sending dreams or visions, therefore he was given the title God of Dreams. Hippocrates developed theories explaining the phenomena of dreams as involving a process of the Soul receiving images during the day and producing them at night. Strabo, a well-known historian geographer and philosopher stated when referring to the direct results of this universal force this one Supreme Essence is that which embraces us all, the water, the land, that which we call the heavens, the World, the nature of things. This highest being should be worshipped, without any visible image, in sacred groves. In such retreats the devout should lay themselves down to sleep and expect signs from God in their dreams. (Albert Pike, 1954) Other renowned philosophers such as Aristotle believed that dreams could be used as indicators towards specific conditions related to health within the body.

In ‘modern' times dreams have still been the bearers of bad omens often foretelling the eventual death of the dreamer, as was the case with Enkidu in the Epic of Gilgamesh. A well-known example of this phenomena occurred in the dreams of none other than President Abraham Lincoln. According to numerous historical accounts Lincoln had an ominous dream which occurred shortly before his assassination. He relates this dream as such: There seemed to be a death-like stillness about me. Then I heard subdued sobs, as if a number of people were weeping. I thought I left my bed and wandered downstairs. There the silence was broken by the same pitiful sobbing, but the mourners were invisible. I went from room to room; no living person was in sight, but the same mournful sounds of distress met me as I passed along. I saw light in all the rooms; every object was familiar to me; but where were all the people who were grieving as if their hearts would break? I was puzzled and alarmed. What could be the meaning of all this? Determined to find the cause of a state of things so mysterious and so shocking, I kept on until I arrived at the east room, which I entered. There I met with a sickening surprise. Before me was a catafalque, on which rested a corpse wrapped in funeral vestments. Around it was stationed soldiers who were acting as guards; and there was a throng of people, gazing mournfully upon the corpse, whose face was covered, others weeping pitifully. 'Who is dead in the White House?' I demanded of one of the soldiers, 'The President,' was his answer; 'he was killed by an assassin.' Then came a loud burst of grief from the crowd, which woke me from my dream. I slept no more that night; and although it was only a dream, I have been strangely annoyed by it ever since.(Lamon, 1994). Lincoln was shot and killed some two weeks later. These examples are amongst the many found throughout various cultures relating to the profound implications of dreams, and the collective cultural considerations given them as mankind's eternal connection to the Divine. Regardless of race, or creed, everyone has this connection, dreams; however mystical, they do occur.

The analytical psychologist Carl Jung developed a set of theories which set out to describe, in modern literary terms, the aspect of the human psyche responsible for the creation of dreams which he termed the Unconscious/Self. The Ego, that is, our conscious selves, represents only a nominal aspect of our overall psyche. In reality, it is the merger of conscious and unconscious factors which represent the total personality, or the whole entire psyche of the individual and their emergence into the realm of reality. This merger is the process Jung constantly referred to as the process of individuation. When one has a dream or goal, it initially starts as an unconscious abstract idea. It is only when the Ego, or conscious self, begins to overcome the necessary obstacles needed to fulfill what is proposed by the unconscious that the process is completed, and the object of the dream fully realized. This process could rightly be compared to the various cycles of life each individual goes through to uncover their own life's purpose or destiny. A great parable describing this ordeal appears in Carl Jung's phenomenal work, Man and His Symbols. It states: the seed of a mountain pine contains the whole future tree in a latent form; but each seed falls at a certain time, on a particular place, in which there are a number of different factors which influence its growth, such as the quality of the soil and stones, the slope of the land, and its exposure to the sun and wind. The latent totality of the pine in the seed reacts to these circumstances by avoiding the stones and inclining towards the sun, with the result that the trees growth is shaped. Thus, an individual pine slowly comes into existence, constituting the fulfillment of its totality, its emergence into the realm of reality. Without the living tree, the image of the pine is only a possibility or an abstract idea. Again, the realization of this uniqueness of the individual man is the goal of the process of individuation. (Jung, 1964 Man & His Symbols) This particular example is amongst one of the best metaphorical descriptions accurately describing the process each individual must go through in their own lives when determining who they are, developing their own world view based on general education, personal and impersonal experiences and how those experiences are responded to.

In previous generations exploring the realms of the unconscious could only be achieved one way, through the study of dreams. From this long and tedious study, which has spanned centuries, man has learned what appear to be some of the basic structures or processes exhibited by the Unconscious Mind. These processes seem to have the most profound implications when occurring in the context of what could be termed a mystical religious experience, such as imaginative visions or prophetic dreams experienced during the process of sleep. Throughout history many of these mystical religious experiences, whether experienced by the masses or the individual, have been a pivotal point not only in the development of certain religious philosophies, but also in the restoration or Re-generation of a morally decadent culture. An interesting cultural tie to this concept can be found in The New Testament, the book of Acts 2:17 states, and it shall come to pass in the last days saith God, I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. This particular passage hints at cultural views relating to a sort of self-defense mechanism or prophetic element within the unconscious that begins to manifest when the individual or the collective mass is in the greatest danger. Another example of this prophetic element is evident in Plato’s Apology, in it Socrates proclaims And now oh men who condemn me, I will prophesy to you, for I am about to die and in the hour of death men are gifted with prophetic power. And I prophesy to you, who are my murders that immediately after my departure punishment far heavier than you have inflicted on me will surely await you (39C, Apology). Similar phenomena can be found in the New Testament as well, for example, was Joseph not warned in a dream to flee Bethlehem in order to secure the safety of baby Jesus from the wicked Herods’ wrath? Furthermore, were the wise men not warned in a dream not to return to King Herod after visiting the child Jesus to tell him the youth’s whereabouts that he may kill the little one? The mystical experiences described in Socrates Apology, as well as the Old and New Testaments are REAL regardless of whether the story itself is and have been happening since mankind's inception, no matter what creed the masses cling to in order to articulate the phenomena itself. The important thing to remember regarding these experiences is that they tend to be most active during the times of the greatest despotism, turmoil and degradation; or, when the individual themselves is in the greatest danger. This fact is evident not only in the stories of the Old and New Testaments but in other myths and legends such as the Epic of Gilgamesh and Socrates Apology. The process can be understood properly when viewed within the context of Hegel's Dialectic, for the act of cultural degeneration itself, the thesis, produces by its very introduction the antithesis which manifests and expresses itself in the form of mystical religious experiences received by the collective mass either in the form of prophetic dreams, imaginative, corporeal or intellectual visions, or a combination of all four, although very rare, for it has only happened to the most experienced Mystics. The synthesis, which usually occurs after a period of general social, political and economic despotism, breeds either one of two things, the restoration of the values and morals of the old faiths, or, the creation of a new one which borrows heavily from the dogmas and doctrines of its predecessors. Stanley P Hall in his wonderful work, ‘Secret Teachings of All Ages’, sums up this event nicely using the metaphor of Moisture. Moisture, as claimed by Hall, "supports vegetation, but this subtle humidity (life ether) is always more or less infected by some venom proceeding from corruption or decay. It must be purified by being brought into contact with the invisible cleansing fire of nature. This fire digests (consumes the vicious element), perfects, and revitalizes this substance in order that the humidity
