Neil Slade, composer and former assistant to brain researcher T.D. Lingo, reveals the brain’s three layers—reptile (survival), mammal (emotions), and primate (frontal lobes)—and how activating the amygdala via "clicking" shifts energy toward advanced cognition like creativity and pleasure, even inducing auditory sounds lasting over 20 hours. Lingo’s 1970s experiments with electrodes in violent criminals suppressed aggression through pleasure triggers, while Stanford’s Alan Drower and Chinese physician Mantok Chia later validated these findings. Slade links this to prolonged orgasms during cooperative or imaginative activities and suggests chronic pain like arthritis can be mitigated by frontal lobe engagement. Princeton’s psychokinesis research and Slade’s "sympathetic string vibration" theory propose brain-water resonance as a mechanism for influencing external objects, from clouds to microcircuits, hinting at untapped human potential beyond conventional science.

Anybody out there remember Mike the headless chicken?
If not, we're going to remind you about Mike here in a minute.
Because coming up is Neil Slade, who is a composer, musician, author, artist, and was assistant to brain and behavior researcher, TDA Lingo, for 11 years at the Dormant Brain Research and Development Laboratory, called by paranormal psychology expert Dr. Jeffrey Mishlov, a shaman in his own right.
Mr. Slade is widely known for teaching easy methods to turn on intelligence, creativity, pleasure, and paranormal ability laying dormant in every human brain, even yours.
Slade also maintains an extensive internet website available a link to our website right now.
All you've got to do is go up and jump across.
All of his books are recommended reading by Bloomsbury Review, a National Book Review magazine.
Now, we're going to now talk with Neil Slade.
And Neil Slade, for those of you who don't recall, is the man who started the cloud-busting thing on the show and the changing of the weather and the beginning of the great experiments that we have done here on the air with millions of people that worked worryingly well, is the way I would put it.
And so we're going to talk about weather modification.
We're going to talk about our human brain.
And we're going to talk about Mike the Headless Chicken and all kinds of stuff.
In other words, if you believe not in the creation model, but if you believe that evolution is what brought us about finally, then somewhere back there, Neil, we had to be very basic, very basic beings, right?
unidentified
Those were actually our predecessors.
we're talking about reptilian type of animals.
If you look at a snake or a lizard, these animals have...
Emotions are a much more complex type of thinking and behavior.
It's more subtle kinds of things.
Okay?
So about, well, there's some discussion of when this happened, but between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago, or I'm sorry, as far back as a million years ago, some believe the early upright walking primates evolved.
And with this, they added on even more brain tissue to this mammal brain.
So then we have three layers, kind of like the juicy part of an apple and the skin of the apple.
And this is the big wrinkly part that you think of when you see like a brain in a jar, for example.
You're actually looking at this developed primate brain.
Now if you grab on to your forehead with one hand, and your audience can do this as I describe it, just hold on to your whole forehead.
Now everything underneath your hand is the most advanced part of the brain called the frontal lobes.
And that's where you compute all the things that we associate only with humans.
Abstract thought, concepts of time, planning, imagination, those very advanced types of thinking and I have a question for you.
How could you possibly be sent home with a hunk of your brain severed?
unidentified
Well, that's why they were able to get away with these frontal lobotomies during the 40s and the 50s, because you can sever this connection from the brain, and it affects behavior without completely destroying the ability for a human being to function.
So when they observed Phineas Gage, what they found is that he lost the ability to concentrate.
He lost his ability to plan.
He lost his ability to put two and two together.
In other words, he could function, but he only functioned in a moment-to-moment type of existence.
Could he say stuck in the here and now, and he couldn't move beyond that?
Well, then why would they, if you don't mind my asking, medically, when they were doing frontal lobotomies, they were trying to modify frequently violent or psychotic behavior of some sort or another.
Isn't that the reason they would do that?
unidentified
That's one, yes.
That's one of the reasons that they would do that.
They found that when the frontal lobes were severed, a person would become, I'm trying to think of the right word, more of a flat line type of emotion.
In other words, they were not as prone to get excited.
Were frontal lobotomies, in your opinion, ethically, morally abhorrent to do?
unidentified
I believe so.
I mean, frontal lobotomies were discontinued after a short number of years, primarily because, as it turns out, they were not entirely effective in reducing violent behavior.
And the answer for that might be that some of the violent behavior is still generated in the primal part of the brain, that first part of the brain you talked about, right?
Yes, yes.
Some sort of malfunction there.
Instead of fight or flight, you just got fight.
unidentified
Yes.
And, you know, pharmaceutical drugs were then developed, beginning to be really developed and explored in the 50s, and they found that they could much more effectively focus on the types of behaviors that they wanted to eliminate through the use of pharmaceutical drugs.
So it was just, it was a short-lived experiment.
But what we did is we learned what happens when you lose your frontal lobes.
And it was very, you know, out of the mistakes that we made, we learned quite a bit about brain and behavior.
So out of the paranormal experiences we have, the ability to control the weather we have, or a cloud formation, or even control the weather to a greater degree, something we're going to talk about this morning, which I'm very, very interested in, as you know.
All of this and more is possible because of this frontal lobe area.
And you have told us that there is a way to virtually concentrate and turn on a switch or two switches which will click forward, this amygdala, you call it, and activate strongly the frontal lobe area.
Is that roughly accurate?
unidentified
That's very accurate.
And the amygdala is, not only do I call it that, but all neuroscientists around the planet call it that.
So we're talking about a part of the brain that we have some very good ideas of what it does.
And the research done by T. D. Lingo was very important at proving that people can actually control this part of the brain and then turn on all those types of things that you were talking about.
Now, earlier, we were talking about the sound that it makes.
Some people actually hear a sound.
Not everybody.
In fact, just a small percentage of people hear this click sound.
And here I have a letter in front of me by one fellow who had tried to click, and it took him about six weeks to learn how to do it.
And then he writes, and he says, astonished when it finally happened.
I find your description surprisingly accurate, blah, blah, blah.
In my own head, I did experience an audible two-syllable sound which could only be described as kaboom or kabang.
That lasted for more than 20 hours.
Now, this has been reported many times.
When they feel this amygdala clicking forward or when they try to do it, they hear this audible sound happening.
Yeah, so do I. Here's what we know about the amygdala.
When the amygdala is clicked forward and you're sending more energy to the most advanced parts of your brain, your brain gives you feedback.
I mean, the most frequent question I get is, how do I know if I'm clicking my amygdala forward or not, or if I'm clicking it backwards, back in the rectile brain?
Well, the answer is this.
The amygdala gives positive emotion when it's clicked forward.
Now, the reason you feel good.
Clicking your amygdala feels great.
And the more you do it, the greater you feel.
Here's a comment I got from one guy who learned how to click forward.
He said: the best description I can give is to say it was like walking into a pitch dark warehouse, turning on a light switch, and seeing the lights flash on into infinity.
Another guy says, this is truly unbelievable.
My entire world has improved.
So you get this flood of positive, feel-good emotion.
I know I've had the same emails and taxes from people who have tried what you have suggested.
A lot of other people say it's baloney, but too many people, I mean, really, like 90% of the responses are positive.
unidentified
Yes, and it's because nature wants you to use more of your brain.
See, if you're using the more advanced parts of your brain, if you're using greater potential of your brain, that increases your ability to solve problems, which in turn allows you to survive better.
When a person is contemplating or having sex, where is their amygdala?
unidentified
It depends.
You can have sex as a demented, controlling, negative person, and then you're computing your sexual response out of just the dog-eat-dog reptilian portion of your brain.
And your sexual experience will be over in three seconds.
We know with animals that have smaller brain capacity and less of this advanced part of the brain, their sexual experience is extremely brief.
Even chimpanzees with brains that are most similar to ours, they don't have the big frontal lobes, and so their sexual experience is over in three seconds, and it's not intense.
However, people who have learned how to utilize the cooperative, imaginative, creative parts of their brain, and we know this from researchers like Alan Brower of Stanford, when people click into frontal opus behavior, the orgasmic experience and the sexual experience can go on for hours.
Yeah, and T. D. Lingo actually had written about this in the early 70s, and he stumbled upon this.
Now, we know that there has been a lot of more ancient literature like the Kama Sutra, which is a very old text written about sexual experience and sexual pleasure and how to heighten that.
So in the East, it's been kind of buried in myth and folklore.
But the researcher I studied with, he found that when he began teaching brain self-control and specifically amygdala clicking to his students and subjects, they started reporting this tremendous increase in sexual response that he didn't expect and they didn't expect.
It just happened because they were clicking their amygdala forward.
And he finally put all the pieces together.
Now back in 1982, a full decade after Lingo had already found this out at the brain lab, then people like Mantok Chia, who was a Chinese physician, and Alan Drower of Stanford, then they started reporting this hour-long orgasm kind of thing.
But Lingo found that people would experience this without any fancy doing any fancy exercises other than just clicking their amygdala throughout the day.
So, you know, it's that real, the amygdala provides the pleasure connection in the brain.
It's the feel-good connection in the brain.
So that's how you know if you're clicking forward.
If you do something which provides you with long-term, sustained pleasure, that indicates that you are in fact clicking forward.
If you do something that results in very short-term, very quick types of pleasure that's over quickly at the most, normally what you experience when you have your amygdala clicked backwards is negative emotion and pain and frustration and boredom and negative kinds of experiences.
So your amygdala is like the thermostat on your wall.
Not only can you use your amygdala to deliberately turn up the heat in your house or turn up the amount of activity in your frontal lobe, but the little therm thermometer on there is telling you through your emotions if you're clicking forwards or backward.
Pain equals clicking your amygdala backwards.
Pleasure is equal to clicking your amygdala forward.
So nature is incredible that it's devised this.
And once you understand all of this, then it becomes very easy to control the way that the energy is flowing.
What about people, for example, Neil, that have chronic conditions like arthritis, where they're subject to constant, nearly constant physical pain of one sort or another?
Can they actually control that?
unidentified
Yes, and again, tonight I just read a report from someone who was controlling chronic arthritic pain along with clicking his amygdala forward.
And his doctor remarked to him that he said, well, you know, I don't understand why you're making such progress.
And this fellow said, well, I started clicking my amygdala.
And the doctor kind of looked at him with raised eyebrows.
We know that pain can be controlled in the body with very minute amounts of electrical stimulus.
So if you go into the brain and start directly manipulating through your own internal manipulation of electrical conductivity in the brain, it follows very, very logically that you can control the amount of pain and lessen considerably the amount of pain that you experience from some type of chronic disease.
What typically will happen when a person starts clicking forward, they begin to see the causal effects of any problems that they may have.
In other words, you can directly control the pain that you are experiencing, but then you also see through your increased ability to through your increased analytical ability, you see, well, oh, I'm doing this which is causing this particular disease in my body.
You are aware, are you not, of the work going on at Princeton that is studying the brain's ability to is actually really PK, in other words, affecting random number generators with your brain.
Both perfectly still, but they're in proximity to each other.
If you strike one of the strings and it starts to vibrate at a certain frequency, what will happen is the string next to it that wasn't struck will start to resonate and vibrate in sympathy with that string.
We know that the brain, there's electrical and chemical activity within the brain.
Now, one explanation that may be responsible for the ability to cause effects in external objects outside of the brain is that these objects respond in the same way that the two strings in sympathetic vibration respond to each other.
See, if you're talking about sitting in front of a computer, which is an electrical device, and you're talking about microcircuits and very, very low voltage.
Well, the electrical activity inside the brain emanates beyond the skull in the same way that magnetic fields are generated, in the same way that electrical fields generate, you know, have effects outside just the wires themselves.
That is one very plausible explanation for why a person's brain can affect microcircuits.
If the brain is 90% water and a person is concentrating on water vapor, okay, a cloud which is water, it seems plausible to me that perhaps there is a sympathetic vibration between the water molecules inside the human brain and the water vapor.
For a long time, I wondered why is it that we are, why is it so easy to manipulate clouds?
But if I try to move a pencil across my table, it's so much more difficult.
Well, our brains are not made of 90% wood and graphite.
However, they are made of 90% water.
So we've got a real strong connection between our brain material and that cloud material.
