A true child of the 60’s, John-David left his studies at the University of California-Berkley to explore the world of consciousness – and spent l2 years abroad, studying and developing his theories of Whole Brain Learning and BrainSpeak Sound technology. In Bulgaria, he researched Gyorgi Lozanov’s (the father of accelerated learning) use of music and sound to increase learning. In Russia, he worked with other researchers in the areas of superlearning and children, specializing in the use of sound and its effect on the pre-natal development of intelligence. In China, he applied his brain hemisphere integration techniques to states of consciousness and memory. In Egypt (where he received his honorary doctorate) he developed a clinic for brain-damaged soldiers – which gave him the opportunity to apply and prove his intuitive discoveries about tones and sound in the re-education of brain-damaged people. |
July 24, 1938 – December 8, 1988 John-David, noted neuroscientist and founder of the John-David Learning Institute in Carlsbad, CA, was a playful genius who drew upon both the logical, linear, clarity and intelligence of his left brain and the intuitive, abstract, and creative vision of his right brain. His work in sound and subliminal technology established a foundation upon which many have since built – developing models for the use of sound as a catalyst in accelerated learning, self-healing, and all levels of brain/mind expansion. Using organic sound patterns and frequencies – including Tibetan bowls and natural, environmental sounds – he developed a unique library of 36 specific tones designed to stimulate the brain, expand the mind, and optimize brain/mind power. As John-David explained it, these sounds and tones, when played at different frequencies, ‘speak’ directly to the brain/mind, creating a bio-chemical response in the neurotransmitters of the brain. His case studies show that certain tones and frequencies impact and accelerate learning, eliminate self-sabotaging behaviors, and strengthen the body’s immune system. Drawing upon a blend of eastern wisdom and western high technology, along with proven techniques for changing behavior and re-educating the brain, he combined these elements to create his Whole Brain Sound, what we now call the BrainSpeak Sound Technology. “We trust that the magic of sound, scientifically applied, will contribute in ever greater measure to the relief of human suffering, to a higher development and a richer integration of the human personality… until there wll be the greater symphony of the One Humanity.” |
