Reverse Speech / Speech Inversion - Spilling the Beans

There's a simple technology that provides a remarkable window of insight into the nature of a person, into their thoughts and intents. This can expose their very character. People "spill the beans" incidentally in a way that has been nearly entirely overlooked. Confidential information is constantly but generally imperceptibly being divulged in private and in very public contexts. Now, if it were true, such a matter would have to be very controversial because there are those who would want to keep their true nature hidden. If there truly were such a technology, on one hand there would have to be those who could present evidence that proves their claim, and, on the other hand, there would be those coming against it to "blow smoke," to keep as many as possible from seeing and recognizing the evidence. Well, there is such a technology, and such a controversy surrounds it. In this study, I'm spillin' the beans about it!

What is this controversial technology? This has nothing to do with hypnotism, truth serum, lie detector tests or torture. It involves a remarkable phenomenon inherent in our speech. This has become known most popularly as Reverse Speech^TM which is a term trademarked by a pioneer in the field, David John Oates, "Founder and Developer of Reverse Speech Technologies" at reversespeech.com. Some mistakenly identify this phenomenon as backmasking or phonetic reversal. Perhaps you have already heard something about this phenomenon and dismissed it. If you've already made up your mind against it, and "that's that," perhaps you'll reconsider because it's quite genuine. This writing is for those who passionately seek the truth and are willing and able to accept whatever they may find in that search.

To observe this phenomenon you simply play a recording backwards. It doesn't matter whether the words are sung, chanted, whispered or shouted, muttered or wailed, written and read aloud or simply spoken, when played backwards you will hear more speech, not just gibberish. While that may seem impossible, or highly improbable, it is, nevertheless, reality!

Is it real?

If it's real, how can it be proven? Here's a very simple test. Two people listen to some reversed speech and, without interacting with each other, record what they hear. A third person compares what one heard with what the other heard. To the extent there's agreement, there's proof. For further validation, increase the sample. This simple test provides proof enough. No test that might prove it "not true" has ever been presented. There can be no such test.

All one has to do to find a vast sampling to consider is to search YouTube. (HOLD IT! WHOOOOA! Not yet. I'll link to some videos later, including some I made.) What you will find is that those who make the effort to find and post their "reversals" video are confident in their version, whether valid or not. Those who watch them respond with comments. The comments are generally divided into two categories. One kind of response is a denial that any such message exists. It's typically very emotionally charged, angry and foul mouthed, occasionally accusing the video publisher of practicing deceit. The other kind of response affirms what was presented in the video, sometimes suggesting a minor correction, an alternate word or phrase. Such corrections compare to when "regular forward played" song lyrics are heard and there's some ambiguity in the interpretation. If the phenomenon were real, this is what we should expect to find.

Some critics attempt to explain away the phenomenon as the result of imagination, of self-delusion, where those hearing simply hear what they want to hear. Some also suggest it is merely the power of suggestion influencing what is heard. The test I suggested reveals those arguments as a grasping at straws. No amount of pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo can disprove it. No argument, no matter how emotional, can stand in the face of it. I've read what seems to be the best the skeptics have to offer and it is all hot air and blowing smoke. If you have skeletons in your closet, dark secrets to keep, you'll want to limit your exposure so your cover isn't blown. By every means, deny it, erase it, paint it black, call it bad. But, uh, by doing so, you expose yourself as suspect.

Is backwards speech good or evil?

Backwards speech is of itself neither good nor evil, it just is. It's an inherent feature in vocal communication. With regard to the messages heard, just as with regular speech, some are good, some are evil, and some are simply neutral.

Is listening for backwards messages evil?

If I were one that wanted to hide my lies and deceitfulness, I would want to keep people from discovering this window of insight. Those I couldn't dissuade by insistent denial of the phenomenon I would try to convince that any exploitation of it is evil, knowing many are gullible and, out of fear, won't pursue further. Yet, some, like me and maybe you, want to know the truth of it and will seek the Lord's counsel and wisdom. I'm addressing this topic very openly here because I don't want to give the appearance that I am doing evil.

The technology involved in the process of recording and playing backwards is a lot like a radio. A radio is a technological device that seems to pull audio content out of the thin air. Actually, it does just that, but only as it is tuned in to a particular carrier signal. The radio doesn't create the content. It doesn't change the content. It just provides access to whatever content might be there. Just like that, the backwards playing of recorded speech gives us access to what is there. The content picked up by the radio is, imperceptibly to our conscious mind, carried on radio waves. The content picked up on the sonic reversal is, imperceptibly to our conscious mind, carried on the forwards utterance.

The matter of listening to speech reversal is perhaps even more like looking into a mirror, in which we see an image, reversed. The technology is as an audio mirror. Like we use a mirror to evaluate the outward appearance, we may use the "audio mirror" to evaluate the inward appearance, the sincerity and genuineness, thoughts and intents. Imagine a person with something hidden behind their back. Placing a mirror behind them permits a view of what's hidden from the direct view, which can be very useful.

"Contrary to popular belief, mirrors do not actually reverse left-to-right; they actually reverse front-to-back. Light rays reflecting off a mirror have their front-to-back direction reversed, while the left-to-right and top-to-bottom components of their direction remain unchanged. The confusion comes from the perception that if a person were standing behind the mirror facing us, as our reflection seems to, then they would be reversed left-to-right relative to ourselves. However, this left-to-right reversal is not performed by the mirror, but rather by this imaginary person turning around left-to-right to face us from behind the mirror." (Mirror - EDinformatics)

A radio and a mirror are merely tools that are useful for accessing and revealing what is already there. Playing recorded speech backwards is no more evil than using a radio or mirror. What might be accessed or revealed may be good or evil, but observing doesn't dictate the nature of the content.

Everyone who is at least of average intelligence learns to "read between the lines" when communicating with others. This is a rewarding activity with skills that come naturally as we learn to discerning meaning. Consider inverted speech analysis one more skill.

Since reversed speech is sometimes too fast to be understood it helps to slow it down. This compares to using a concave mirror to reflect a magnified image, which allows us to perceive what we are examining more readily.

I haven't found yet where the Bible might address this specific technology, but it does address the matter of forbidden divination. Playing songs and speech backwards with the intent of discovering the messages is not forbidden divination. The use of what isn't explicitly declared as evil, or, in principle, inherently evil, is merely a tool, like a hammer or a pencil, telescope, microscope, radar or sonar. Any ethical judgment depends upon whether we are, in using the tool, acting in obedience to God. If our listening is in obedience, with His guidance and blessing we do well! Otherwise, we sin.

Some might argue that because the inversion of speech is naturally hidden, and the word "occult" refers to what is hidden, to be involved with speech inversion is to be involved with the occult, and that is bad. Well, that might seem reasonable, but is it valid? Are all hidden things evil and the activity of searching them out intrinsically bad?

Searching out concealed matters can be a regal occupation, as led by the spirit of God. The prophet Daniel was renowned for such activity, and so was Joseph, Jacob's son. No, leveraging the audio inverter is not evil. It can be a powerful device in bringing what is hidden out into the light for all to see.

The infamously wicked Aleister Crowley (Magick In Theory And Practice) directed those who wished to become adept in the magical occult arts to learn to do many things backwards, including thinking, writing, walking, listening to phonograph records, speaking and reading. Why would he do this? His magic was certainly effective, he was not stupid. He was aware of some supernatural realities and sought to exploit them for evil. Don't follow his ways. In contrast, we want to be wise and obedient, serving the Lord Jesus Christ in truth.

Ignorance is not bliss! What you don't know can hurt you. The fact that the words are only recognized by your conscious mind when playing it backwards does not make them go away when the song is played normally. What did Crowley know that we should know? The Devil has employed every means available to come against the saints and every work of God. I am exposing his weaponry and some of his agents, for your benefit. If you are not yet educated in the reality of speech inversion, you have been ignorant of Satan's devices because he employs it to carry his agenda forward. You are not so shrewd as the serpent if you deny that you have been receiving messages from Satan without even being aware of their existance.

Listening to music and speech backwards is not evil, but it can reveal what evil might be there.

Is the use of technology for such a matter evil?

Technologies useful for discerning truth are described in the Bible for both godly use and ungodly use. You have to seek and find the Lord's wisdom to know how to distinguish between right and wrong, truth and error, the holy and the profane. This is not a matter you want to be lax about because it must be seen as one that is of no small consequence.

One example involves the Aaronic High Priest of Israel, who had the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece for use as an oracle. Numbers chapter 5 describes a priestly ritual you may find rather surprising, one that revealed whether a woman had been unfaithful to her husband. The Apostles "cast lots" when choosing the replacement for Judas Iscariot.

While some of you will be very uncomfortable with the biblical testimony about technologies, be careful not to accuse the true God or His servants of evil. Such is the work of antichrist.

What is this, really?

This phenomenon that is inherent in all our verbal communication is a channel where content is broadcast on the carrier signal of our speech. It comes from the spirit of man, or, our soul, at some subconscious level. We don't control the content in the way we direct the forward content although it is frequently influenced by our thoughts and emotions. There are also other sources that override or hijack the soulish broadcast signal. The identity of these spirits is often identified by name in the message. They may also refer to third party spiritual entities by name, by use of proper names, familiar names and pronouns. Many messages broadcast over this channel are entirely demonic, yet, not all. Much of the content I find is what I refer to as soul chatter. Some of it is affirming biblical testimony. This, I have learned through observation and as guided by the spirit of God.

When I study a message played backwards, I'm listening for what's actually being said. When you listen to what someone says at any time you should hear what actually is said and interpret it in the context. Whatever principles apply in the forwards direction apply in the reverse direction too. There should be no agenda, no bias. You must accept what is there, simply because - that's what is there! Everything heard and analyzed must be done honestly and in context. Sometimes, the inversion relates very directly to the forwards. Sometimes not. Yet, what may be understood must be understood in the context. No "sound bites" are valid unless the context of the interpretation is accurately assessed.

Beyond the application of common sense, you must see that such a matter is spiritually discerned, really. Most people hear everything with strong bias, which is to say, with a demonic "filter" at work. They "hear what they want to hear," or, "don't hear what they don't want to hear." This is the influence of spirit. When it comes to backwards messages it is no different, the same "filter mechanism" is at work. In order to discern a message honestly and accurately, there must be no "rose colored glasses" or distortion of any other kind. The truth is that what eyes see and ears hear must be His, the Lord's, who grants understanding. They MUST BE HIS! Your own after the flesh are not adequate! The idea that you can see clearly on your own is merely an illusion, a delusion. You can't, according to the flesh. Life is spiritual. Truth!

The bigger picture

I believe this channel is what is described in communications jargon as a multiplex circuit, where multiple communications may be sent and received at the same time. If you think your brain isn't capable of such, give some consideration to the abilities exhibited by the savant and some among the autistic. There are those who study this phenomenon that are convinced those abilities are latent in all of us. "Each of us has the innate capacity for savant like skills, but that mental machinery is unconscious in most people." Allen Snyder (See The Inner Savant and The Key to Genius)

To grasp the larger context we must look beyond seeing this as merely a window of insight into a person. The evidence points to a larger reality, one where the view goes both ways through the looking glass. The evidence reveals that what is transmitted over this channel of communication is received by listeners tuned in to the channel. I believe it is heard in the spiritual realm, by the Lord, of course, and also angels, both good and bad, and, too, by anyone else who might hear, though yet on some subconscious level. Yes, you and I are tuned in, whether we will acknowledge it or not.

You and I have been broadcasting without realizing it. Why would we conclude we, while yet unaware of it, haven't also been receiving what's transmitted? What's the point of a broadcast if no one listens, or if receiving the message means it must first be recorded and played backwards? While it doesn't appear that the exact same kind of conversation that happens on a conscious level happens at the subconscious, there is some bi-directional communication going on. I have no test to offer providing proof of reception after the manner of the broadcast test I offered, but strong arguments are easily made that you and I are tuned in to this channel as listeners. Certainly, no test can be suggested that provides conclusive proof of the converse, that there is no influence.

There is far more to speech than most have acknowledged. In Genesis 1:3 God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. Jesus spoke with authority, commanding demons to come out (Luke 4:35-36) and the wind and waves of the sea to calm (Matthew 8:26-27). The dead are commanded to rise by prophets, apostles and other disciples, and they do. The spoken word is more than just some disturbance of the air we consider an audio wave. In the phenomenon of inverted speech messaging we have encountered a mystery, a previously undisclosed element that may now be discerned with the senses as something tangible. Let's use this as a basis for learning what can be known about the greater reality.

Listeners, we

The historical record reveals some have felt very strongly that backwards messaging can adversely effect those who hear it. Consider the controversy generated over backmasking several years ago. If you want a particular backwards message to appear in a recording, you can record the track playing backwards. This is called "backmasking." This is sometimes done in the studio for a joke or as something of an Easter Egg but can also function as something of a jamming signal. Except for having to play the final recording backwards to hear the message, backmasking is different from speech inversion because it's deliberate, in contrast to what is merely incidental, from the human perspective. Several years ago, the concern that messages appearing in the backwards direction in popular music secretly influences the hearers brought some to seek legal action in an attempt to counter the perceived threat. Their supposition was that what was being published on the subliminal level, or, broadcast on this subconscious channel, did indeed have influence.

The following is an excerpt from the Wikipedia entry for backmasking.

"The 1983 California bill was introduced to prevent backmasking that "can manipulate our behavior without our knowledge or consent and turn us into disciples of the Antichrist". Involved in the discussion on the bill was a California State Assembly Consumer Protection and Toxic Materials Committee hearing, during which "Stairway to Heaven" was played backwards, and William Yaroll testified. The successful bill made the distribution of records with undeclared backmasking an invasion of privacy for which the distributor could be sued. The Arkansas law passed unanimously in 1983, referenced albums by The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Electric Light Orchestra, Queen and Styx, and mandated that records with backmasking include a warning sticker: "Warning: This record contains backward masking which may be perceptible at a subliminal level when the record is played forward." However, the bill was returned to the state senate by Governor Bill Clinton and defeated."

The success or lack of success of the attempt to regulate backmasked content distribution doesn't address whether the claim made about it was valid or not. I don't know if there was any awareness at the time that the "Stairway to Heaven" song presented as evidence wasn't actually the result of backmasking. That song's hidden message programmed into the subliminal channel without any manipulation of the recording. However, what I consider as evidence of influence is the content they brought to the attention of the court and to the public. It was satanic and evangelistic in nature. From a biblical perspective, the conclusion drawn from the facts was that the songs with messages of that nature "can manipulate our behavior without our knowledge or consent and turn us into disciples of the Antichrist". Can the content influence us, even though it has to be reversed to be understood by the conscious mind? Some, like Bill Clinton, say no. Those who want to know the truth, have nothing to hide and are not afraid to think for themselves tend to disagree.

If the channel isn't listened to on some level and its messages received with some effect, how is that music with content on this channel such as found in Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" and Mercy Me's "I Can Only Imagine" are so passionately embraced? Think about it. There's something about this music that appeals very directly to a person.

If there were no power to influence, would Aleister Crowley have expressed an interest in leveraging the use of this channel and encouraged the exercise of its use through his books on magick? No! Would the recent Olympic ceremonies from Beijing employ subliminal messaging ranging from deliberate backmasking to a wide variety of visual elements if those funding the effort with exceedingly deep pockets didn't expect to realize some significant benefit? No! Would demons bother to hijack this channel, which they clearly do, if there's no listener and no influence brought by it? Really, why would any honest person think the backwards messages means nothing. When you consider what these messages are and the context in which they appear, only one conclusion can honestly be drawn. I think those who attempted to bring the awareness of the existance of these messages to the public's attention exercised good judgment when they declared the nature of the threat. I have seen a large enough sampling of the messages presented on this sub channel of communication to see for myself that many of the messages are demonic, and that the intent is to bring forth worshippers of Satan in the spirit of antichrist who will receive the mark of the beast!

Subliminal messages are defined as communication that occurs on some level below the threshold of consciousness. You don't have to look far to find circumstantial evidence indicating these are fundamental to the human experience. Some who depend upon this reality are called marketing experts. Right? Subliminal messaging isn't limited to the insertion of occasional pictures of popcorn and soft drinks into movies. While it can consist of pictures and words the craft is really in the skillful use of symbolic content, of colors, shapes and sounds, of massaging the imagery to elicit targeted responses. Consider Nissan, which tags their car models with certain letters. They had the Sentra SE, they had the Sentra SX, the EX and the XE. In the UK, Nissan sold the Almera SXE. Now, just where do you think they were going with that?

When someone is "good at sales," that means they're able to effectively manipulate the behavior of others. Do you think sales are made strictly on a conscious level? The reality is far more complex than that. By every means possible the feelings and emotions are plied. The thing is, we're just so accustomed to this interaction we don't even acknowledge it. It's just "normal," and how it's always been. The backwards speech channel has always been part of our experience, and we just haven't been aware of it. We transmit. We receive. If no one's listening to the subliminal, why would anyone spend money on sales and marketing as it now exists?

You'll find many examples on our YouTube channel: Stormy's Reverse Speech. Examples include secular and "Christian" music, speeches and interviews of politicians and celebrities.

Although most people are and will remain confused about whether we are influenced on subliminal levels, you and I should see the matter clearly. Subliminal messaging is effective. Those who leverage it have no doubt whatsoever. There are those who spread confusion to conceal their craft. Don't be duped. You and I should be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. On the inverted channel we transmit and receive.

You may have wondered whether the Bible reveals anything of the power of music to influence the spiritual condition of a man. It does.

David's harp playing was according to the Spirit of the Lord and powerfully influential with regard to the evil spirit that came from God to Saul. The above verse implies David was aware of this influence. There is every reason to believe there is a converse principle that applies, where the playing of music effects an inverse process. Saul's problem wasn't a tendency to be a little melancholy now and then, it was a murderous spirit that terrorized him. Saul was known for his involvement with the occult, witchcraft and divination.

There's an obvious lesson here. Mind your music. Make your choices according to which direction you want to be influenced towards, as led by the holy spirit of Christ, not antichrist.

Why would anyone want to listen backwards?

There's only one reason that justifies any action; obedience. There are explicit commands about testing, a basic function of the audio inverter.

We have a device that is useful for testing. It has come to us in a season of overspreading delusion. Should we not employ it with wisdom?

Audio inversion is useful for exposing the unfruitful deeds of darkness and those who participate in them.

Amen! The Lord's kingdom comes, and He will reign! (Daniel 2:44) The ultimate victory is His! Until then, battles will be waged. (Ephesians 6:12-13, 2 Corinthians 10:2-6) These battles are neither imagined nor without activity in the physical realm. This is not to suggest there should be the taking up of physical arms, which holds no interest to those who are "harmless as doves." In practical matters of faith action is required at times in the speaking of words and singing, fasting, headcovering, sharing of resources with those in need, visiting prisoners, and the active pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.

The Lord destroys the works of the devil, and it is done according to His times and ways, and sometimes His people are involved. It is the work of the devil to deceive men and women, by which means he leads them to destruction. To counter that work, the Truth who is the Son of God sets men free from the bondage of sin, exposing the lies and liars. There are those who masquerade as ministers of light, coming as wolves in sheep's clothing. A shepherd is not going to do well if he can't identify a wolf. A shepherd should know whether what wears sheep's clothing is genuine. Satan and his crew are savvy about things we in the church have been clueless about. Such a work as inverse speech analysis can be a rescue from the snares of Satan, the snatching out of the fire referred to in Jude 1:23.

People, we need all the help we can get. All the armor of God, and every weapon in His arsenal is fit for the battle, for those trained in their use by the Lord Himself! Those whom the Lord leads to engage in such work understand the value in exposing the lies and liars. While a given message may seem pure and upright, the inversion may reveal otherwise. Is the inversion congruent with the forwards message? Is it contrary?

Liars should fear being outed by those spying out their heart and mind through this window of insight. Loose lips sink ships, and there doesn't appear to be a muzzle for this tattle-tale leaking of confidential information.

Examples and conclusion

Warning - If you surf YouTube video you will soon find it is filled with vile, corrupt and perverse content. I'm not endorsing anything else found there. If you must surf around, see it as a pasture. Wear your boots. Watch your step. Make sure you wash up after.

The examples I've posted to YouTube are for educational purposes, for instruction, to expose the hidden content and reveal the true nature of those whose songs and speech are targeted. All of these reveal Satanic messages. The themes are common, generally relating to the Beast, and the mark of the beast, cursing God and the people of God. It might not surprise you to find this content in secular music. You may be shocked to find it in the popular "Christian" music.

The fact that this channel of communication has been hidden in recent times is obvious. I don't know the history of this matter, whether Adam knew of it, or others such as Abraham or Moses, but I'd be very surprised if it were not common knowledge through a significant portion of the history of man. Since the existence of this channel has been hidden in recent years to most people it is related to a category of secret communication called "steganography," where no-one apart from the sender and intended recipient even realizes there is a hidden message. The benefit is that the communications do not attract attention to themselves, to messengers, or to recipients. Given what I know about the practices and literature of the occult and Satanic, this channel of communication has been leveraged for a very long time. It's about time we're on to it.

While it's tempting for many to simply avoid controversial subjects, what is brought into the light should not be ignored. To find and publish the messages found is not such a thing that everyone should immediately stop what they're doing and start doing this instead. Yet, for some, it's my testimony that finding and publishing such is being done at the present time at the Lord's direction.

Soon, when censoring is universal, this page and promotion of these truths is going to go away in a big hurry. For now, the Lord has ordained a season of prospering the work. Enjoy it and employ it while it lasts, my friends!
