Backward Masking- Reverse speech- My personal experiment.

If you google "audacity download" you can get free audio editing softaware that allows you to play things backwards, speed them up and slow them down. It would be a long explanation if I explained the studies behind this that make it reasonably legit, but suffice it to say, if you speak into a recorder and then play yourself backwards its AMAZING what you find.

Usually the things that are said backward are HIGHLY relevant to what you say forward, but reveal deeper thoughts... or even, maybe spiritual things? I dont know, you can try it. Its freaky. The relevance really will amaze you.

You tube searching for "backward speeches" can reveal potentially amazing things about obamas speeches, the Philidelphia Experiment...all kinds of stuff. I had to test it for myself, and truly it was amazing. It is really freaky how relevant the backward stuff is to what you are thinking at the time, or what is going on in your life at the time.

As, for me, I dont care about music backward masking, but Im highly interested in "speeches". Again, I just had to verify some of this stuff myself.

You can even record toddlers gibberish. They say we make sentences backwards before we even do forward.

Just a tip.

Ps.

About my first experiment:

I wrote a short story for my niece and recorded it, but at the time I was thinking about a court case the next day... and throughout the whole record there is court terminology and freakishly it was almost like a "pre playing" of what actually happened the next day. Using court terminology such as "here's the deposition" and a ton of stuff throughout the entire recording, like an entire court hearing, people arguing evidence and facts. Its crazy.

This had nothing to do with the short story played forward, but EVERYTHING to do with what I was thinking while recording... I was just taking a short break to record the story for her, and was going to return to working on the case that evening. The story itself was a funny story about a tree hugging girl who loved hugging trees (lol. You had to have been there).

At the time I had all my evidence laid out on the table in front of me...

The reason I chose to dissect that particular recording for my experiment was because its the only one where I can clearly remember exactly what I was thinking at the time of recording it, and I wanted to compare to test the theories that I'd read earlier. The recording itself was done a year ago.

Exciting experiment to say the least. Exciting FINDINGS.

-John

Here is what I have found so far, in very clear dialect.

1: You trouble me inside nicole (My daughters name- Its freaky how clear it is)

2: Now hear me argument

3: Im trying to sell children (Obviously that is related to my thoughts about the prosecutor)

4: Leader know how bad it is but she cant see shit cept

5: Money

6:Not now, now while she is trying to be serious, it wont make a difference

7: Now here land

(It says land instead of house throughout the recording- The next day I had to prove in court that DHS had in fact been at my house and done a homestudy but they lied and said they hadnt- and the judge found evidence that they actually had, in his own records, while the lying witness was still on the stand)

Then it says clearly:

8: The land we have sworn to be secret?

9: Pass (then some gibberish)

10: Agreed- Advisor?

11: Now its hearsay

12: Here's the deposition

13: Here's the deposition

14: Here's the raw evidence

15: Okay I'll pass to the (gibberish)

16: Here is the proof she was

17: No idea- I have no idea

18: Heres-(gibberish)- And here's (Gibberish)

19: Okay here Mary (name of DHS attorney) - Here Ms. Nelson (name of "CPS"Attorney - Even though he is a mr. not a ms.)

Thats all I have so far. I have played it to two others who freaked, just to make sure it wasnt just me hearing it. Cant upload the recording yet, but thats what it said.

Dont take my word for it. Try it yourself. Its free software.

    What if this is just the audio version of the Rorschach effect? Do you think other listeners would hear the same things you did from the recording?

      So far they have. I actually witnessed chill bumps on two peoples arms while listening. I tend to believe people lie, but chill bumps dont.

      If you google backward speeches, you will hear how clear these things can be...not questionable in alot of cases.

      Messing with the speeds and pitch dont change the phrases themselves, but they help with the clarity of them, some people who do them are better at working with the speeds and pitches , so their recordings are more clear than others. Audacity enables you to change the speeds and pitches. Again , its free, so ANYONE can try this.

      Im not beyond question, but I can promise, the dialogue in many places on my recording, at least the first 5-6 sentences of my recording are as clear as it would be if I were talking to you forward,and even in alot of other places, although some lines are a bit unclear.

      If you do some youtube study on it, you will find they have done thousands of experiments, and the reason it hasnt been ruled totally out by intelligent people as total bs, is because of the relevance in so many cases to whats being said forward. It usually reveals what the inward man is saying about what it being said forward...but in some cases it reveals things about what is going on in your life circumstances at the time, even though its not what you are talking about forward.

      I can tell you it worked in my own study of my own recording, and I can tell you that the guys really on the forefront of studying this and talking about it have documented enough legit evidence to say that we inflect outwardly in way that reveals in backward motion what we are saying inside.

      Usually the discernable words hit at at about every fifteen seconds in short sentences, and last for a few seconds.

      If nothing else it was a really interesting experiment and I encourage anyone who wonders to try it for themselves.

      Backward "masking" is something different (done intentionally in studios at times) than "reverse speech".

      Most analysts tend to think its the subconscious talking, but I personally believe (with no backing, just a hunch) that its spiritual stuff going on...

      The bible, which I read alot, talks alot about the hidden powers of the tongue, in many places.

      If nothing else, this will be fascinating for anyone who cares to do their own experiments and not take my word for it.

      Since you know your own feelings its best to record yourself...to determine whats going on in the backwards version, and validate what it is, or isnt. Talk in short intervals like a few sentences at a time on a subject, for a few paragraphs. If you talk too fast there isnt enough seperation and so it tends to run together, and makes it hard to understand backwards.

      I ahdnt planned on doing this when I first made the recording so I wasnt consciously trying to talk in short paragraphs and alot of it runs together, but alot is very clear where Im speaking in blocks of just a few sentences at a time. Use your normal inflections.

      I would be skeptical, and was, listening to others, but I tried it myself, and Im quite amazed.

      Once I figure out how to save it and get it online, I will try to do that. Im not real good with this kind of thing when it comes to formatting stuff for the internet.

      Ps. Time and more experiments will tell what I ultimately end up thinking of this, but the first one was amazing. Thats all I can say. Test EVERYTHING.

        It's an awesome read and speaks of reality being a constant replay of the bible.

        On a tangent: I think there's something sizable that's going to occur this year on a spiritual / religious level. It's stirring in the air and I know that those in the know, know it.

          Thanks Daniel, will check that out. I dont know if I can post it here, but I have been studying the archeological proof of biblical events.

          One day I was asking God "How am I supposed to navigate my way through all of this contradiction", and suddenly I got the idea to do the opposite of what makes sense, and actually "seek with a deliberate intention to find the wanted outcome".

          Usually I guard against that, however when there is actual archeological evidence involved, its okay, because you cant really debate that. So I did, and I started searching for "evidence of the bible".

          We arent talking "shroud of turin stuff" that leaves room for question.

          What I found was archeological evidence of sodom and gomorrah, and unquestionable evidence that its demise happened just the way described in the bible...also evidence of the walls of jericho and their destruction right down to the actual sequence of events that happened within a single day... Along with that, among other things, I found amazing evidence of many stories of exodus and the journey of the Isrealites.

          Now I take that, and I look at the book of Daniel and Revalation and compare its prophecies to current events in the media... and it does seems very clear that those are on target too.

          As someone said earlier, a solid argument can lose a couple of pillars and still stand. Well, you could knock a couple of pillars out of what Im seeing and it would still stand. Im fact; I think its prudent to always try to deliberately knock out a couple of pillars before drawing a conclusion to see how well it stands.

          The natural argument would be "Yeah, people have been saying this for centuries". But no other century before us has had the technology available to really make the kind of educated correlations that we can. I would say that in our generation we should be able to see things alot more clearly than others.

          I really try hard to debunk my own beliefs if they seem too esoterical, and many times I do, but I am also open to admitting when I am onto something, even if it doesnt seem popular to believe it.

          Im going to check out the book you referred, because it does seem like there is some repetition going on.

          Thanks again.

          Ps. I dont think it will hurt to put this here (Below vid). Its just one example. The thing that put me over the top was the deal about the wheat, because it made alot of sense- COMMON sense. The actual sequence of the events that the bible describes in this story is even correct.

          Im not being a crusador, just a person fascinated with study. I want to say that I am truly open to anyones argument, because truth is what is being sought here, with no agenda.

          Proof of the story of the walls of Jericho.

          www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-cmdl4Cqdo


          Now again, a person could knock a pillar out of this argument, but from what I see so far, it would still stand.

          The original excavator nit picked one silly detail to debunk the bible story because the rest was undeniable, but then when confronted with more evidence, her own assistant admits that she may have been wrong.

          On the story of sodom and Gomorrah; years before the actual location was discovered a famous geologist hypothesized that the biblical account could be true, according to this article, saying this about the general area where it was assumed the city was located:

          There is unquestionably of massive amounts subterranean deposits of a petroleum-based substance called bitumen, , in the region south of the Dead Sea. Such material contains a high percentage of sulfur.

          It has been postulated by geologist Frederick Clapp that pressure from an earthquake could have caused bitumen deposits to be forced out of the earth through a fault line, around the recorded time of Sodom and Gomorrah, the. As it gushed out of the earth it could be ignited by a spark, which would then cause it to fall to earth as a burning, fiery mass.

          It was years after Clapp formulated this theory that Sodom and Gomorrah were found.
          Ironically, as it turns out that the sites are actually located exactly on a fault line along the eastern side of a plain south of the Dead Sea, making Clapp's theory entirely plausible.

          There is evidence for this potential scenario from the Bible itself. Abraham viewed the destruction from a vantage point west of the Dead Sea.

          The Bible records what Abraham saw: “He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace” (Genesis 19:28). Dense smoke suggests smoke from a petroleum-based fire. Smoke rising like smoke from a furnace indicates a forced draft, such as would be expected from subterranean deposits being forced out of the ground under pressure.

          Now, a few years later it was actually LOCATED, And this will blow your mind if you watch the whole thing.

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwetaHPVGs0

          I have also looked up non biblical historical texts (newspaper journalists, and non biblical and historians) that existed in the times, and actually confirmed Jesus Miracles in non biblical texts, but they call it sorcery, illusion or magic in an effort to debunk him as the actual son of God in their articles. Hey, just the fact that the events HAPPENED is enough for me to put together the rest!

    Thanks for the warning Ken. I know what you mean.


    Edit: I took the vids down, they would be too controversial. Also may have been "unintentionally" insulting to some.

    Daniel,

    Great read. I especially like this: "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."

    Bookmarked for future reference. The story of the dog makes alot of sense. This guy is a fascinating thinker.

    "I offer this merely to show that as soon as you begin to ask what is ultimately real, you right away begin talk nonsense." -

    Hey, I resemble that remark!

    This article (with the story of felix) really gives new meaning to my above recording results.

      I'm glad you liked it. I've been in talk about the "reality" subject for the past 4 weeks or so discussing to extremes such as solipsism.

      Your post was interesting and I'll be sure to check out the video on the walls of Jericho.

      To be honest, I haven't even read a chapter of the bible so admitedly when it comes to a written or spoken level I don't have much experience. I have however had enough input in past months that has completely revamped my ways of thinking that has made reading The Bible an absolute must.

      I've never excepted "reality" for what it is and I think there's a vast range of things still left unexplored - a lot of things which are technically "on the surface" (ones which I've proven to myself). I've had the niggle that something just isn't quite right about what everyone is depicting themselves to percieve since I was young. I think the reference to David Ickes comment in another thread about people being scared of ridicule is a valid one and exactly why people don't venture out of the box to think for themselves, to explore new grounds beyond that of their favourite TV programme or concern of their sports team winning. There's loads of things to dig into beyond this.

      If you run with the grain you just become part of the wood.

      People who have an interest in "The Arts" - paintings, sculpture, music, opera are spiking activity in the parts of the subconscious that's yearning for the sublime - for something else that they know is there but can't quite place. The Arts sober can be subconsciously enlightening. The Arts to an enlightened person can be mind blowing...

      Here's a peice that's charged with divine inspiration:

    John, if I read this correctly, a recognizable word will come up about every 15 to 20 seconds, and you write down those words in the order they appear. This creates the sentences you are hearing in the reverse play.

    I just did that with the intro to one of my own audio books. Here is what I said...

    "No no says after he I know Walgreen's what her say yeah see some some must sir epoch."

    Now to figure out what that means. ???

      Don,

      In my case, it was a short "sentence" every few seconds. I have listened to others of my recordings, and found nothing....some of them say a little, and the first one said alot. I have been through about six and gotten words out of three.

      Buit I havent really been through the WHOLE recording on any of the others, other than the first one, and this little short one I did.

      Like the first day I got camtasia... I did a little speech, maybe one minute just to test it. And I played it back and got " You sooo smart, now you can speak (or "speech") all the time".

      Actually that was what I was really thinking. lol

      On another one, "Im sooo sorry vincent" (My oldest grandsons name) repeated twice. but I got tired and didnt really study the rest of the recording that much.

      On 3 of them I couldnt recognize anything major, there were words, but they werent in sentences and they didnt make much sense, so I thought on those that I was just trying too hard...didnt want to push it. I try to be objective.

      Good going on trying something for yourself Don, instead of taking others words.

      So far it looks like some are real full of stuff, and others dont say much. Alot of times its a matter of getting it to play at the right speed and pitch, which you can easily get tired working with...or "tempo".

      Usually it will say things in sentences it seems, if there is anything there. Not necessarily just individual words.

      I have only checked a few recordings, so my study isnt that in depth at this time.

      -John


      Ps>

      "No no says after he I know Walgreen's what her say yeah see some some must sir epoch."

      Hmmm... Not being in your life I wouldnt know. Sorry.

      My daughter did one, and it said "God. She went to hospital, I did not tell her she was healed,. Nausea"

      This was a couple of days after I had prayed for her to be healed, as she was having stomach issues. She said to me "I dont feel healed", and I said "well you are". lol (Didnt know what to say).

      A couple of days later she went to the doctor, and now has another appointment for an exam, but thats not what was her recording was about at all.

    Also don, if you are talking real fast in the forward motion, it might make the backward hard to work with. I dont know, as I said some of my recordings I couldnt find a thing and others have all kinds of stuff. Im tempted to think In was just to tired too work with the other ones... I wore myself out on this stuff one night.

    Checking out William Blake Now Ken.

    @ Ken,

    You guys know me as a telemarketing guy, but personally art is my life. Music, lyrics...or at least was the first half of it. So, I really enjoyed reading about William Blake On WIKI.

    I do believe that, even with the writings that Daniel Evans linked us to above, that some writing, and painting...even of "Money Making Books" can be divinely inspired if we are in the right space at the time of doing it.

    To give an example, I feel strongly that Og Mandino was under divine influence writing "The greatest salesman in the world". Its just POWERFUL, but then I look at others of his works and they dont contain that kind of power or seeming "spirit".

    (Hey I got nothin to lose right now, might as well really open up)

    On another note, even our own Mr. Myers here has some writings that I felt were divinely influenced, although he would never accept something like that.

    I have songs that I feel were divinely influenced, and others that werent.

    In short, I believe Blake probably was divinely influenced in some of his writings and his artwork. I do believe that in seeking for greater creativity we sometimes come in contact with the creator himself who influences our work.

    Alot of men who have the same sentiments have been critisized throughout time. If I get critisized for expressing that, then when Im gone, some will say I was a lunatic. I dont really care. Some even say it NOW, and I dont really care. The humiliation of this physical life only lasts a short time.

    I can be right, or I can be wrong, or I can be insane... So can you. Thats why I express freely. It doesnt really matter, this life is a vapor, and Im just expressing whatever wants to come out during it. Sometimes that attitude yields phenomenal results.

    Allen Says put something out years ago talking about how the writings (Copywriting) you do contain the energy of whatever you are feeling, so you really cant fake it because the copy will portray that feeling to whoever reads, no matter what you are saying on the surface, and I have found that to be true.

    Even in copywriting, I have felt that sense of tapping into deep creativity when writing , which always explodes with sales when you write from it, and then I have written stuff that I knew was shallow and mediocre in feeling, and it never fails to deliver a mediocre result.

    There is something to this stuff. It will be interesting one day to understand all these deep secrets in life.

    Thanks for sharing that Ken.
