Encounters with the Unknown Main Page

 

These Notes as I see them, relate not to lectures but to feeling. I'm sure my readers differ from me on many things, but I hope that we share the essence of wonder and longing for what we may never quite understand.

Important Note
From The Web Site Administrator:

I do not claim to be an expert on reverse speech and I have not been trained by David Oates.1 I have learned to find reversals on my own and have received encouraging feedback from the people I have done reversals on. In some cases I have found information that they were consciously trying to conceal or hold back. I really do believe there is something to this and that's why I am researching reverse speech.

Just about anyone can find reversals in speech if they invest enough effort. Interpreting the findings is the truly difficult part. First it's good to have someone else analyze the transcript of the reversals to see if it can be determined if the analyst has colored the findings with his/her bias. Feedback from the individual whose speech is being analyzed is perhaps even more essential. Analyzing people you don't know and not getting any feedback from them, I feel makes it terribly difficult to determine the meaning of the reversals. So much of the material is in personal metaphor, similar to what you find in dreams.

My main area of interest is exploring the UFO abductee phenomenon. My goal in presenting this subject matter is to generate interest from the scientific community in reverse speech and provoke insight into what lies behind the abductions. I would like to see scientists and engineers get involved in defining the best equipment and software necessary to accurately search for the reversals and to find psychiatrists, degreed therapists, linguists, cognitive therapists, etc., willing to interpret the meaning of the reversals.

Please be advised that any interpretations I present are purely conjecture at this point in my research and are solely my opinion unless attributed to the work of a colleague. I am so excited by what I am finding that I am presenting to you this work in progress.
