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.

Technological Description of Reverse Speech Reverse Speech is another form of human communication that is automatically generated by the human brain. It occurs every time we speak and is embedded backwards into the sounds of our speech. This previously undiscovered function of the mind is the mind's own independent voice speaking from the deepest regions of consciousness.
This form of communication can be heard if human speech is recorded and played backwards. Once every five or ten seconds very clear and precise phrases occur. If the forward language is English then these phrases will be in English and they will usually be grammatically correct. They are very quick and fast and are often hidden in the high tones of speech. For this reason speech reversals are very easily missed by most researchers.
Reverse speech is the voice of truth and it is complementary with forward speech. The two modes occur simultaneously yet are formed in different areas of the mind. Simply, forward speech is from the left brain and Reverse Speech is from the right brain.
If a lie is spoken forwards, the truth may be spoken backwards. Any thought that is on a person's mind has the potential to appear in Reverse Speech. These thoughts include all activities in all regions of mind, ninety five percent of which are below consciousness. Thus reverse speech can describe unconscious subjects such as personality patterns and behavioral agenda, it can reveal hidden memory and experiences, and it can also describe the state of the physical body. At the deepest levels of human consciousness, Reverse Speech also describes the state of the human soul and our relationship with God, in however that manifests in our model of the world and spirituality.
