It has been called the discovery of the 7th sense. The research into this unique phenomenon has been defined as being of "Nobel calibre". It has been featured in numerous publications around the world, and in the United States it became a household word in the late 1990s. Reverse Speech uncovers hidden backward messages in our speech. It initially gained worldwide fame in the early 1980s as those strange demonic backward messages in rock and roll. Since that time, research has concluded that it exits in all forms of human speech.

When human speech is recorded and played backwards, hidden amongst the gibberish in normal intervals are clear statements. These statements usually appear in very short sentence form and are nearly always related to the forward speech. It appears constantly throughout language, that it is believed to be a natural part of our speech processes.

The pioneer and 20 year veteran of this field, Australian David John Oates, describes Reverse Speech as another form of human communication. He states that language is bi-level, forward and reverse. As the human brain constructs the sounds of speech, it forms those sounds in such a way that two messages are delivered simultaneously. One forwards, which is the conscious mind speaking, and the other in reverse, which is the unconscious mind speaking.

The profound applications of this discovery are extremely exciting. On the surface level, it can act as a sort of Truth Detector as Reverse Speech will usually correct the inconsistencies of forward speech. If a lie is spoken, the truth may be communicated in reverse. If pertinent facts are purposefully left out of the forward speech these may also be spoken in reverse. It can uncover hidden motives and agenda and other conscious thought processes. At a deeper level, Reverse Speech can expose thought patterns that are unconscious, including reasons behind behaviour and disease. This information can be used to enhance the therapeutic and healing processes.

Although still unfamiliar in the mainstream news and therapies, Reverse Speech is already making its mark felt in many areas. It has been used successfully in business negotiations and corporate mergers as means of providing extra information. In the state of Oregon, it has been used in criminal investigation and its results independently verified by DNA testing in one case.

THE THEORY OF REVERSE SPEECH AND SPEECH COMPLEMENTARITY.

(1) Human speech has two distinctive yet complementary functions and modes. The Overt mode is spoken forwards and is primarily under conscious control. The Covert mode is spoken backward and is not under conscious control. The backward mode of speech occurs simultaneously with the forward mode and is a reversal of the forward speech sounds.

(2) These two modes of speech, forward and backward, are dependent upon each other and form an integral part of human communication. One mode cannot be fully understood without the other mode. In the dynamics of interpersonal communication, both modes of speech combined communicate the total psyche of the person, conscious as well as unconscious.

(3) Covert speech develops before overt speech. Children speak backwards before they do forwards. Then, as forward speech commences, the two modes of speech gradually combine into one, forming an overall bi-level communication process.
