Reverse Speak: Does the Subconscious Mind Have to Tell the Truth?

Until a few years ago, brain researchers believed the right hemisphere of the brain, the subconscious side, didn't have the capabilities for speech. Research in the area of what is called "reverse speech'"(RS) claims to have proven differently.

Looking at speech, in it's western form and starting at the top left and proceeding to the right and down, it can be seen as linear. Thinking of speech in this manner makes it easier to draw pictures in our minds.

The human mind is capable of so many things and doing many of them at the same time that can be "mind boggling." Research has proven that people who are bored are also more prone to disease. The conclusion is: if the mind isn't occupied it begins looking for something to do, like creating a disease in order to keep busy or not go crazy. Mindless entertainment falls into the same category as boredom, as far as the subconscious mind is concerned.

Another thing the subconscious mind can't tolerate is telling lies. We can lie to others, but we can't lie to ourselves. Even the slickest liar will have times when the subconscious will bring out the skeletons from the closet. Dreams can be one of those times, giving boring speeches is another. How often have we had a dream that has parts of a mistruth that we've tried to cover up with ego, or by telling ourselves that the end justifies the means?

The right hemisphere where the subconscious dwells, appears to have the ability to form and produce speech but it does it in reverse. Here's how it works.

When someone is giving a boring speech, is lying or a combination of these and other things, the subconscious mind can be bored or trying to relieve itself of what it knows to be untrue.

Researchers have found if they slowly reverse-playback a recording of the speech or conversation, using special software and techniques any of us can master, they can pick out the words that the subconscious is reverse speaking.

I briefly looked at this a couple of years ago, but at the time it seemed not to have any relevance to where I was going or what I was doing. Recent events in the lives of us all have changed many things, including where and when for me.
