David John Oates


     David John Oates the founder of reverse speech. Hypnotherapist and Trainer, and accomplished public speaker and author, of "A New Theory About Language." Oates' claim is that, on average, once in every 15–20 seconds of casual conversation a person produces two related sentences a "forward-spoken" message that is heard consciously, and a "backwards" message unconsciously embedded in the person's speech. These two modes of speech, forward and backward, are supposedly dependent upon each other and form an integral part of human communication. In the dynamics of interpersonal communication both modes of speech combine to communicate the total psyche of the person, conscious as well as unconscious. Oates claims that backward speech is always honest and reveals the truth about the speaker's intentions and motivations. The most famous recording that allegedly demonstrates this is the speech given by Neil Armstrong at the time of the first manned lunar landing on 20 July 1969. If played backwards, the words "small step for man" sound somewhat like "Man will space walk."

ANOTHER EXAMPLE:
         Is he saying "Thank You, Satan" or "Thank You, Say" with the "N" sound just being a case of auditory pareidolia. Your mind wants it there so it hears it, which in the realm of reverse speech is in-fact good enough... Though it is obviously not in the slowed down segments.




Rethinking
David Oates' Theories on Reverse Speech.
by Mike Schmitt

        The examples below are reversed segments of complete gibberish, born from the knowledge that even babies speak forwards in reverse. The speaker wasn't thinking of anything in particular and wasn't speaking in any known language or dialect. Before reversing the segments, you could say he was speaking in tongue, or gibberish. The segments recorded appear to reflect upon World War II, though the subject was too young to be reflecting on memories of the war considering he was born much later during the Vietnam Conflict...


Below are the Audio Segments...
  1. A wolf — I became a wolf.mp3
  2. Adolf Hitler in the roses — Nazi standing in Rome.mp3
  3. All for nothing all this pessimism and you feel nothing.mp3
  4. Hey Mr. Vato Cosovich of the Nazi's list thereof, is that there with me Young Martin the safe house.mp3
  5. On the outside is a war, please deliver from this tyranny.mp3
  6. Rome is their own business stay their own business, the system is zero,the army is zero, Rome without Hitler is, their army is zero.mp3
       Oates' claim that, in every conversation a person produces two related sentences a "forward-spoken" message that is heard consciously, and a "backwards" message unconsciously embedded in the person's speech. The segments above were specifically taken from gibberish meaning there was no such forward speech to relate to. Oates' claim that the dynamics of both modes of this communication combine to communicate the total psyche of the person, conscious and unconscious. Unless the speaker in the segments above was relating to a past life (of which may be the case) though as was stated prior he was born during the conflict in Vietnam, then of course this could communicate the total psyche of this person, conscious as well as unconscious. Notice the dialect and the phrasing always in English the segments above I can't quite place it to a particular place or time but this person often has at other times spoken backward in an East Indian Dialect as well as this European dialect.  My point is he has never traveled to any of these places let alone spent enough time there to pick up a particular dialect other than a few English dialects. Oates' claim that backward speech is always honest and reveals the truth about the speaker's intentions and motivations. If Oates is right and reverse speech is always honest and reveals the truth about the speaker's intentions and motivations, then I ask you what are the intentions and motivations of the speaker in the segments above... The truth is there is more to reverse speech than Oates has claimed, the unconscious mind in my opinion is infinite, and in this realm I believe one can glimpse into the past as well as the future. There is no doubt the value and potential that reverse speech can bring to this human conversation. Perhaps it is not just a tool for diagnosis and investigations anymore although as I believe much more research is needed before we can fully understand what we are dealing with.
