Since this "Question and Comment" forum was just created, I will start it off with a comment of my own. It may fall under the classification of "testimonial" but really it is not. It was the beginning of a learning process.

In my opinion, I believe that the majority of people who are interested in hemi-sync™ technology has done so out of necessity and not a curiosity. This is true for me.

At one time in my life, some 24 years ago, I had an event to occur that could not be explained by a common understanding within our current culture, this culture being a basic Christian culture in southeastern USA. I was never a fundamental believer, but just believed that what was taught to me as I was raised. The fact that I had never heard of such an event occurring to anyone made it extremely scary. Over the course of a week or two, I had the same episode to occur several times, spontaneously. Each time, the event was progressively stronger, clearer, and more pronounced. The fact that I was not in apparent control only made the condition worse. Really, the only thing that kept me from going crazy was the fact that it "felt" very natural, not unnatural at all.

It was at this point, long before the days of the internet and "googling" for information, that I visited my local university library and read up on the subject. During this time period of about a year, I read numerous books. I guess it was a situation where the more that I read, the more that I accepted the condition. A better description may be "the left brain was learning about the behavior of the right brain". This started the process of education and acceptance. Hopefully, clarity and conscious control will be the result of this learning at some point in my life.

During my quest to absorb knowledge, there were a few books that I read that meant more to me than the others. One was "Out on a Limb" by Shirley MacLaine. It is interesting to note that right after this week of "occurences", this book was released. I read a book review of this book in the local newspaper and it said, "Ms. MacLaine has gone out on a limb, the limb has broken and she is crashing down back to earth". Well, I knew right then that this would be a book that I need to read. Immediately after reading it, I felt not so alone and more normal. The second book was, you probably guessed it, "Journeys Out of The Body", by Robert Monroe. I cannot overstate the importance that this book, and his other two books, has had in putting me at ease, and at educating myself about a part of me that I never knew, or never would have known, existed. I would have written off such events as dreams and in our current culture, the importance of dreams are discounted. Now I know better.

I purchased my first Hemi-Sync™ product in 1985, I believe. It was an introductory cassette package containing two titles, Introduction to Hemi-Sync™, and Catnapper. This was the start of consciously ...

{I believe that the actions of the right brain are, for me, beyond words, or hard to describe with words, and thus will not be explained here, by me. Others have for eons attempted to describe these "abilities". These attempts were done by people in different geographic locations and as such, have divided the population of our planet into groups called religions. We have enough religions, but not enough "realization" of our own individual capabilities, in my opinion.}

My personal hope is to seek, find, understand, and control all of what I am. My progress by my own admission is slow and oftentimes frustrating, but I do see results and this keeps me motivated. I am now and forever will be a "beginner". Each time that I listen to a hemi-sync™ title utilizing binaural beats, it is a new experience.
