Air Date: June 30, 1999

Guest(s): Neil Slade

Topic(s): The Brain and Cloudbusting

A discussion was held about rogue planets—planets ejected from their solar systems that might still be capable of supporting life. Art explained that these planets, despite not orbiting a sun, could maintain temperatures suitable for life due to a thick blanket of hydrogen. This idea supports ancient theories, like those from Zecharia Sitchin, suggesting that such planets could carry oceans and atmospheres as they travel through space. Neil Slade, the guest for the night, shared insights from his studies with T.D.A. Lingo, a renowned brain researcher. Slade recounted Lingo’s fascinating journey from World War II scout to behavioral scientist. Lingo’s early experiences during the war and his subsequent academic pursuits at four universities, including the University of Chicago, fueled his quest to understand the human brain and behavior. Despite lacking funds for traditional research, Lingo’s ingenuity led him to become a folk singer in Denver, using his talents to support his unconventional research methods.

Lingo gained fame by appearing on various television shows, including Groucho Marx’s “You Bet Your Life.” His distinctive persona, dressed in buckskins and living in the Colorado mountains, led to a summer replacement show on NBC where he earned significant money. With his earnings, Lingo purchased 350 acres of wilderness in Colorado to establish his research lab. Despite limited funds, he built a log cabin facility and began his work. One of his first programs was for juvenile delinquents, achieving remarkable success by using methods like self-trauma therapy. This technique involved reprogramming negative conditioning and memories in the brain, transforming negative experiences into positive ones. Lingo’s work led to discoveries about the connection between the amygdala and the frontal lobe, facilitating behavior modification and brain function understanding.

Art and Neil Slade delved into the brain’s capabilities, particularly how focused concentration could affect physical objects, like dissipating clouds. Slade explained the brain’s structure, starting with the innermost layer known as the reptile brain, responsible for basic survival functions. This led to a discussion about “Mike the Headless Chicken,” illustrating how basic brain functions can sustain life. As evolution progressed, mammals developed an additional brain layer, the mammal brain, which introduced emotions and social behaviors. Humans and primates further evolved a primate brain, adding complex behaviors and advanced planning capabilities, with the frontal lobe being the most sophisticated part. Slade emphasized how energy flows through these brain layers, impacting behavior and potentially enabling extraordinary abilities when the brain’s full potential is harnessed.

Neil Slade explained how different parts of the brain influence behavior, using examples like Mother Teresa and Charlie Manson to illustrate extremes of brain function. Slade described how the amygdala, when activated positively, can lead to selfless and compassionate behavior, as seen in Mother Teresa. Conversely, when driven by fear and paranoia, it can result in violent actions, like those of Manson. Art brought up Hitler, questioning if negative use of advanced brain functions was possible. Slade agreed, explaining that even forward brain functions could be manipulated for evil, exemplifying Hitler’s mix of backward and forward brain use. The conversation shifted to the broader implications of brain function, suggesting that intelligence, defined as life-sustaining behavior and thought, evolves towards more cooperative and compassionate forms over time.

Neil Slade and Art explored the potential for humans to grow spiritually and evolve positively, reducing figures like Hitler over time. This evolution would enhance cooperative behavior and intelligence, crucial for humanity’s survival. The conversation took a dramatic turn with Art reporting on recent Russian military activities, highlighting geopolitical tensions and their potential implications.

Slade then described how individuals could use brain techniques to perform extraordinary feats like cloud busting. By focusing life force energy forward from the amygdala, one could dissipate clouds, an exercise that many find hard to believe until they try it. He detailed the amygdala’s location and how to visualize and activate it, likening it to engaging an overdrive gear in a car. This exercise aims to demonstrate the real impact of harnessing brain power.

Neil Slade explained how people are generally conditioned to keep their amygdala activated in a way that limits energy flow to the frontal lobe. However, by visualizing and mentally “tickling” the front part of the amygdala, people can redirect this energy. He described a technique involving imagining a feather tickling the front part of the amygdala to activate it positively, enhancing brain function. Some people report subtle responses, while others experience vivid sensations like colors, shapes, and waves of pleasure.

To demonstrate the power of this technique, Slade recommended trying cloud busting. On a calm day with little wind, one should focus on a small cumulus cloud, visualize the energy flowing from the frontal lobe, and direct it at the cloud. This should cause the cloud to dissipate within minutes. Slade has video evidence of this phenomenon on his website, encouraging skeptics to try the exercise themselves. This practice aims to show the tangible effects of harnessing brain power, transforming an internal process into an external influence.

Neil Slade emphasized the brain’s complexity, noting its vast number of neural connections, surpassing even the number of protons and neutrons in the universe. He compared the brain’s computational power to that of advanced computers, suggesting that while technology is advancing rapidly, the human brain remains far superior in complexity and processing capability. Slade mentioned that if one could build a computer with the brain’s capabilities, it would be enormous in size, though technological advancements might eventually miniaturize such power.

Slade’s work is being taken seriously by reputable organizations like Mensa International, which plans to review his materials. He encouraged listeners to explore more through his books and provided contact information for further resources. Slade outlined some practical exercises and books available for those interested in harnessing brain power, such as “Brain Magic” and “The Frontal Lobe Supercharge.” These resources aim to teach users how to activate their brain’s full potential through various techniques.

Art and Slade hinted at discussing further extraordinary abilities, such as prolonged pleasure experiences, by manipulating brain functions using techniques like the “American Tickler.” This ongoing conversation underscores the profound potential and untapped capabilities of the human brain.

Neil Slade delved into the effects of activating the amygdala. He mentioned that once people learn to “click” their amygdala forward, they experience significant improvements in various aspects of their lives, including enhanced luck, happiness, and satisfaction. This process involves engaging more of the brain’s potential, which leads to superior logic and intuition, effectively guiding individuals toward better outcomes and eliminating negative experiences.

Slade also discussed the profound impact on one’s sex life, stating that activating the frontal lobes can lead to extended and intensified pleasure. He referenced ancient practices like those in the Kama Sutra and more recent research by Mantak Chia and Alan Brower, highlighting methods for channeling sexual energy to prolong and amplify pleasure. Slade emphasized that these experiences are deeply rooted in brain activity, with the potential for both men and women to achieve extended orgasmic states.

He mentioned that T.D.A. Lingo’s work in the 1960s revealed how activating the amygdala and frontal lobes could unlock paranormal abilities and significantly enhance creativity and intelligence. This research showed that people could make remarkable improvements in various cognitive tests once they learned to harness their brain’s full potential.

Neil Slade elaborated on the profound impact of activating the amygdala forward, explaining how it can dramatically enhance sexual experiences without additional exercises. As people start using their frontal lobes more, they create new neural connections, intensifying and prolonging orgasms. He compared this process to a car generating more exhaust when driving faster, indicating that more intense brain activity leads to heightened pleasure.

Slade also emphasized that the cooperative nature of frontal lobe thought processes plays a crucial role in this enhancement. When both partners engage in these processes, they can achieve a more synchronized and extended orgasmic experience. This cooperation moves beyond the self-centered reptile brain, allowing individuals to connect with their partner’s brain and the environment, amplifying the overall experience.

He explained that the sexual energy flowing through the brain is magnified when connected with others, likening it to an interconnected network of brains, increasing pleasure and thought processes geometrically. Slade noted that while the primal brain handles basic sexual pleasure and reproduction, it is the frontal lobes that add creativity and depth to the experience. For instance, chimpanzees, with their smaller frontal lobes, have very brief sexual acts, whereas humans, with more developed frontal lobes, can experience much longer and more fulfilling sexual encounters.

Neil Slade continued explaining how activating the amygdala forward can significantly enhance sexual experiences, leading to extended orgasms. He compared the typical sexual experience to a waveform that peaks and quickly declines, resembling the letter “A.” By increasing energy flow to the frontal lobe, this waveform can change, prolonging and intensifying the experience. Slade emphasized that this can be achieved with or without a partner, making it accessible to everyone.

He addressed the concern about enduring a prolonged orgasm, explaining that as the brain processes more energy, the experience becomes more sustainable and pleasurable. He noted that while animals like pigs might have extended mating sessions due to physiological reasons, their pleasure responses are not as intense or complex as those of humans because they lack the advanced neural connections found in human brains.

Slade reiterated that this practice is rooted in brain activity and can be enhanced through certain exercises and mental focus. He encouraged listeners to explore this potential by trying the techniques he discussed. Art and Slade joked about the implications of such discoveries on the pharmaceutical industry, specifically mentioning Viagra.

Listeners were invited to call in with their questions, leading to a query about pigs and their frontal lobes. Slade clarified that while pigs and other mammals have a cerebrum, their frontal lobes are not as developed as those in humans, limiting their emotional and pleasure experiences. The conversation was poised to shift to taking calls from listeners for further discussion and questions.

Neil Slade continued discussing how to activate the amygdala for an enhanced experience, stressing the importance of practicing this technique regularly to see cumulative benefits. He mentioned that continually working on activating the amygdala throughout the day would positively affect one’s overall experiences, including sexual ones.

A caller from Kansas City related the technique to the advice of starting early in the day to ensure a good experience later. Slade then explained how activating the frontal lobes could also improve teaching abilities by enhancing awareness and sensitivity towards others. This heightened state allows for better communication and understanding, making one a more effective teacher.

The conversation shifted to more profound implications, such as the possibility of contacting extraterrestrial or nonphysical entities. Slade confirmed that people who practice these techniques often report such experiences. He shared that T.D.A. Lingo had collected numerous reports from his long-term subjects, documenting similar occurrences. Slade recounted a personal experience of contacting a nonphysical entity, suggesting that while using frontal lobes might not typically aid in egotistical pursuits like gambling, it could lead to extraordinary experiences.

Neil Slade continued discussing the effects of activating the amygdala and its relation to intuition and luck. He shared a personal story about following an intuition to a casino, where he felt guided by a deceased friend, resulting in winning money. This example illustrated how being in the right mental state could lead to positive outcomes.

Art Bell, the host, affirmed this phenomenon, sharing that he often intuitively knows when he will win at gambling. This knowing isn’t controlled but feels like a higher intelligence guiding the outcome.

A caller brought up Dr. John Lilly, who experimented with mapping the monkey brain and identified the orgasm center. Lilly’s experiments showed that monkeys, given a button to stimulate their orgasm center, would press it repeatedly, demonstrating the power and impact of brain stimulation on pleasure responses.

Returning from the break, Slade discussed how similar experiments in humans identified the septal area, adjacent to the amygdala, which, when stimulated, could produce similar intense responses without other forms of stimulation.

Neil Slade continued explaining the profound effects of amygdala activation, discussing how it can lead to sensations of euphoria and contentment by indirectly controlling various interconnected areas of the brain, including the septal area responsible for physical pleasure. He touched on the controversial idea of using such knowledge to manage behavior in criminals, referencing an experiment where electrode probes were used to provide a sense of well-being to violent criminals, significantly reducing their violent behavior.

A caller then asked about experiencing depression characterized by a stuffy or fuzzy feeling behind the eyes. Slade explained that depression often results from a lack of electrochemical activity in the frontal lobes, leading to a blockage of energy flow. He mentioned that clicking the amygdala forward can help lift depression by reactivating these brain circuits. Slade shared that many people have reported overcoming depression using his techniques, though he cautioned that depression can have multiple causes, including chemical imbalances, and professional medical advice should not be ignored.

To support this discussion, Slade offered a supplement on the sexual response to anyone purchasing his book, emphasizing the holistic benefits of understanding and improving brain function. Another caller, Eileen, asked about clicking the amygdala forward, noting that there are two amygdalae, one on each side of the brain. Slade confirmed that while they usually work in tandem, it is possible to experiment with them independently to better understand and control brain function.

Neil Slade further explained how the two amygdalae can be activated independently or together, typically working in tandem. He addressed a caller’s concern about the influence of socioeconomically depressed environments, noting that surrounding oneself with people in a reptilian state can affect one’s own state. However, by staying clicked forward, one can maintain their frontal lobe activity and potentially influence others positively.

Slade discussed how brain size, referencing a report about Einstein’s brain, generally does not significantly affect intelligence. However, Einstein’s brain had a unique structure where the parietal lobe was more connected to the frontal lobe, possibly enhancing his mathematical abilities. This anatomical difference might have contributed to his exceptional cognitive skills.

A caller from Knoxville, Tennessee, described experiencing a euphoric, tingling sensation and wondered if it was related to clicking the amygdala. Slade confirmed that activating the amygdala and opening circuits to the frontal lobe can lead to such sensations, not only during physical activities but also in everyday situations. He advised that practicing these techniques could help explore and enhance these pleasurable sensations further.

Neil Slade explained that one can control the level of pleasure they experience by activating the amygdala forward, ensuring they don’t feel overwhelmed. He also discussed his work with disturbed children at psychiatric hospitals and public schools, helping them click their amygdala forward to enhance creativity and manage behavioral issues.

A caller related personal experiences with depression and attention deficit disorder, noting that focusing on creativity, particularly through computer systems, helped manage these challenges. Slade emphasized that increasing creativity, pleasure, and imagination naturally reduces negative emotions, likening it to a seesaw effect.

The conversation shifted to a folk song titled “Click Here and Make the One” recorded for Slade, and the caller expressed admiration for Slade’s work, having discovered it while running a music website. Slade mentioned that all his books are autographed and personally attended to, ensuring each order is handled with care. The segment ended with Art Bell and Slade humorously contemplating a world where everyone experienced one-hour orgasms, suggesting such a world would be free of war.

Neil Slade and Art Bell discussed the potential and practical applications of activating the amygdala. Slade shared his experience working with disturbed children in psychiatric hospitals and public schools, helping them harness creativity and improve their behavior.

A caller, Robert from Toronto, shared his success with Slade’s methods and mentioned the magnetic chair material, which enhanced his experience. They also discussed the benefits of this practice for health, suggesting it could make surgical birth control and abortions obsolete, reduce emotional problems, and increase life expectancy.

The conversation then touched on the differences between Western and Eastern approaches to mind and body control. Slade expressed his disagreement with the Taoist idea that people have a limited number of sexual emissions, arguing instead that there is no limit to the amount of pleasure and experiences one can have.

Another caller asked if Slade’s techniques could help shape physical objects, like marble, using mind over matter. Slade suggested that with the right mental focus, significant feats could be achieved, as history has shown with the construction of the pyramids and other remarkable structures. He emphasized the limitless potential of the human mind and its ability to transform abstract thoughts into physical reality.

Neil Slade continued discussing mind-over-matter abilities, mentioning people who have witnessed such phenomena, including levitation and materialization of objects. He referred to Satya Sai Baba, an Indian holy man known for materializing objects, and Ram Dass, whose guru could reportedly perform miraculous feats.

Slade also shared his experiences with a random number generator software from Princeton, confirming his ability to influence it repeatedly, similar to the cloud-busting experiment. He described creating a simple “mind motor” using tinfoil and a needle, demonstrating telekinesis. This experiment, though rare and challenging, has been successfully replicated by others.

A caller asked about the role of amino acids and chemicals in brain function. Slade explained that nerve cells communicate through chemical processes involving neurotransmitters, which transmit messages across synapses. This chemical interaction is crucial for brain function and the manifestation of mental phenomena.

Neil Slade explained the role of neurotransmitters in brain function, noting that these chemical messengers bridge the gap between neurons and are crucial for transmitting information in the brain. Different neurotransmitters are responsible for various types of impulses, and their effectiveness can be influenced by diet and drugs. He mentioned how psychedelic drugs can increase neurotransmission towards the frontal lobes, while other substances might inhibit it.

Art Bell and Slade discussed the complexity of brain injuries, emphasizing how unpredictable their effects can be. A caller shared a personal story about her son, who suffered a frontal lobe injury and later took his own life. Slade acknowledged the unpredictability of brain injuries, noting that some can have no apparent impact while others can be devastating.

Slade suggested that the caller focus on her own thought processes to manage any negative emotions or guilt she might feel. He encouraged learning to click the amygdala forward to improve mental well-being.

A caller brought up HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) and its potential to affect human behavior using low-frequency waves. They discussed how HAARP works by beating higher frequencies together to produce low-frequency waves that might influence the human brain. Slade mentioned the importance of maintaining a healthy state of mind through exposure to a variety of natural frequencies and environments, rather than relying on a single method to counteract such influences.

Art Bell noted that operators of such machines might be affected themselves, which is why HAARP is operated remotely. Another caller asked about a claim that pregnant women’s brains shrink, which both Bell and Slade found dubious, speculating that it might be related to reproductive needs but lacking concrete information.

Finally, a caller from Texas pondered if universal adoption of these techniques could lead to world peace and a more advanced civilization. Slade agreed, suggesting that evolving to a more intelligent and cooperative state through activating the frontal lobes could improve personal lives and society as a whole. He referenced the Transcendental Meditation (TM) movement, which observed societal benefits from collective meditative practices, reinforcing the idea that widespread mental enhancement could lead to significant positive changes.

Neil Slade and Art Bell continued discussing the positive impacts of clicking the amygdala forward. Slade mentioned that a significant percentage of people meditating, a frontal lobe activity, led to decreased crime rates in cities. Art and Neil debated the potential negative uses of such techniques, with Art expressing concern that energies could be used harmfully, while Neil remained optimistic about their positive applications.

The conversation then shifted to the possibilities of scientific and social advancements being linked. They speculated that advanced civilizations would likely be peaceful due to their progressed social structures, which might explain why humans haven’t encountered aliens—they might not be spiritually ready.

A caller inquired about binaural beats, light and sound machines, and drugs like marijuana in aiding brain stimulation. Neil acknowledged trying various machines but found them less effective than internal brain stimulation. He noted that while drugs can provide temporary pleasure, achieving euphoria through natural brain techniques is more sustainable and healthier.

Another caller asked about life after death and if consciousness continues. Neil affirmed his belief in an awareness that exists beyond the brain and body, sharing that intense frontal lobe perceptions enhance this understanding, reducing the fear of death.

As the show wrapped up, Neil reminded listeners about his autographed books and how to order them, emphasizing the positive changes people have experienced through his techniques.
