Holosync Vs. Hemisync, which is better?

[Nick]

Hi GhostRider,

You know, this topic has appeared a number of times. Some people are adamant that one is better than the other. Everyone seems to have a different opinion so getting a consensus will be difficult. You can use the search engine and find some of the previous topics.

People also have talked about other binaural cds as well. For example, Awakened Minds and Brain Sync come to mind. Some people swear by BrainWave Generator. The Awakened Minds and Brain Sync cds  also cost less that Hemi or Holo Sync, which have a whole programmed series to buy.

So bottom line, I'd start out by doing a search and reading over some previous posts. You'll see a whole range of opinion.


Very best,

[GhostRider]

 Thanks for the hints, I'll check them out.  And no, I did not see the topic covered on the site.  But then again, I didn't do a search.  Next time I will.

 I've done a search, conducted some thorough reading and this questions is NOT directly raised in topic form, unless for some strange reason the search engine on this site didn't show it to me (doubtful).  But... what I did find was good, it covered the topic 'fairly' well, albeit getting a direct answer would be terrific.  So to pay my 'respects' to the threads and posts about this topic that have previously showed up here at this site.  Here then are some links to help you, the reader get up to speed on this topic (in case you haven't already read them) before posting a response to my question above.

"There's a section at the site that touches on the difference between holosync and hemisync:

So anyway, it is quite expensive, but if you have the money... I do recomend it."

I have probably said it 100 times by now, but I'll repeat it.

The technology of Holosync (as far as binaural signals go) is not in any way superior to TMI stuff, or any other related products out there. In fact, it is simpler. (It takes half hour of sound editing to create a DIY version of Holosync, but for Hemi-Sync stuff it would take days).

However, Holosync does work - it does guide brain into synchronization. But what makes Holosync work BETTER than other producs then? The actual driving force behind Holosync is not the technology - it is the writing skills of CRI writers. The purchaser of Holosync is bombarded with tons of followup "support letters" about how great it is, and how it will magically take your problems away and will make a super-being out of you. This has two effects: it makes the subject actually listen to this stuff; it also creates powerful placebo effect, so the subject actually believes that it DOES work, and thus changes do happen, even though they are not caused by the technology, but by the subject's belief.

With TMI, the approach is the following: try it and see if it works for you. The subject is not brainwashed into believing into magic effectiveness of the technology a-priori, so naturally, the subjects are less enthusiastic. And the enthusiasm, faith, and determination are very important factors in achieving the results.

What makes me annoyed though is their exagerrated claims that their stuff is "light years beyond" TMI, etc., which is simply NOT TRUE.

The bottom line is: Got cash? - get Holosync. No cash? - Get something else, and remember that you are not losing anything.

And by the way: the saying "If something is too good to be true, it probably is" is yet to fail.

Then maybe a better question would've been on the differences on how the different technologies work.  I have holosync myself and I suspect that it's merely a difference as opposed to a superiority over either one product that is what is fundamentally important.

Since you seem well versed in TMI, what's it's strengths (besides cost) over holosync?

I'm not well-versed in TMI. I'm equally versed in TMI, Holosync, Awakened Minds, and BWGEN

My personal opinion is that the Wave series are more valuable than anything out there, because they provide verbal guidance. They basically tell you what to do. With holosync - you basically slack around doing nothing thinking about various crap (unless you actually know how to meditate. In Hemi-Sync Gateway series you are actually doing the exercises of various sort. And this sort of training, in my opinion, is more valuable than mere binaural signals, which are used as auxiliar help during the excercises.

CRI states that "Monroe was mostly interested in finding combinations of frequencies that created groovy altered state experiences" - which is bovine excrement. The goal of Gateway series is to help you teach yourself about what you really are, and increase your self-awareness to the levels that are set by you. And the altered states of consciousness are just tools for that, but not the goal.

The bottom line is: if you need binaural help for your meditation sessions or OBE attempts, get Holosync or Awakened Minds. If you are interested in increased self-awareness and spiritual advancement, but aren't sure what its all about, I would recommend Gateway series.

I myself use a cross-breed between Holosync and Hemi-Sync that I created from scratch for myself. If you have fast connection and want to try it out, contact me and I'll share. Its 1 hour / 140Mb / 320kbps mp3.

 Cool! [8D][][8D]  I'll tell you what, I'll send you the blank CD and you burn me a copy then. Thanks man![]

 [8]I'm no expert on this subject but I bet there's a few seasoned veterans out here who could qualify on this particular subject.  My question is, in your experiance, what is better for inducing overall inner growth and O.B.E.'s.  Is it the tried-and-true HEMISYNC or is it the newcomer (technologically speaking) HOLOSYNC?

a.)- I am not trying to start a war between fans of either technology,[}:)] but obviously, one is better than another, which would it be?[?]

b.)- How's this for a wild card... who here wouldn't touch either gadget with a ten foot pole and would just as soon attain the same effect via old fashioned methods of mastering meditation, etc...?
