By the age of two years, the child's reversals are very complex, the personality and future behavioral patterns are being formed. Learning Reverse Speech is similar to learning a new language. The unconscious mind does not use all the colorful and detailed language that we learn to use in speaking forwards. Reverse Speech is very direct and to the point. Metaphors are quite commonly used in reverse.
Metaphors describe a feeling, a situation or a behavioral pattern in a person.
Archetypes are similar to metaphors except they indicate a deeper and stronger feeling or belief. Archetypes can be identified by their religious and mythological references. They are handed down through many generations, which explains why so many of the archetypal words are representative of ages many centuries ago. The oral tradition theory of reverse speech explains how these archetypes and metaphors are passed along to one another, even over centuries of time. This theory states that through the process of reverse speech, people are continuously communicating on an unconscious level.
