Life and Works of TD Lingo

TDA Lingo. One of the Greatest Geniuses in History

The ability of persons to control their amygdala and experience limitless frontal lobes pleasure responses was proven by a 30 year controlled study by brain and behavior researcher T.D.A. Lingo at the Dormant Brain Research and Development Laboratory in Blackhawk, Colorado. Between 1957 and 1987 over three hundred and nine students and test subjects along with hundreds of additional part time participants were involved in long and short term brain education, behavioral, and thought modification programs. The resultant increases in intelligence, creativity, and positive emotions were demonstrated and measured by a variety of objective and subjective means, standardized tests and analysis methods. Lingo reports that this included 10 to 40 point increases on the Stanford-Binet I.Q. test, and 500% to 1400% increases on the Getzels-Jackson Creativity Index.

Random testimony from a Brain students of his:

I’ve been a student of consciousness expansion and spirituality for over 35 years, and have taken more than 100 workshops, trainings, and classes in consciousness development, starting at the age of 19 with T. D. Lingo. I was one of his early “experiments.” Lingo was an amazing teacher, a true hidden genius. Nutty as hell, in some ways, but certifiably brilliant in many others. [Neil Slade is not considered by any of Lingo’s students “his successor,” but rather an egoist who is using Lingo’s materials (unauthorized) to promote himself. Nothing surprising there.] Lingo did not expect to die, so his estate was a mess, and although he promised to pass his amazing school property (250 acres of prime Colorado mountain property, log cabins, pump well, wind generator-driven printing press) to one or another of his students, it ended up in the hands of his adopted drug addicted son (long abandoned), who sold it for $3M to developers.* Too bad, because Lingo lived in basic poverty, struggling to become known, although his unique and quirky writing style and manner turned almost everybody off.

I have the only (to my knowledge) complete version of his 100-lesson workbook*, which I’m trying to get the legal right to publish. He was democratic in the extreme, stressing self-therapy, brain self-control, and self-empowerment all the way. He stated clearly that he didn’t want to be a guru, but of course, at some level he wanted people to buy his point of view whole hog and work for him for free. We disagreed on that point (and many others) many times, but I studied with him for four years, and consider him to be my first TRUE teacher. He released me from the bonds of my historical programming, and freed me to explore on my own. He had a great heart, and was generous with many people, but also had a harsh and angry streak when people weren’t generous to him in kind. He lost students about as fast as he got them. He was an original — and his death was a real tragedy. I hope to write a book about him one day.

‘Clicking’ the Amygdala -Component

This phrase is coined by T.D.A. Lingo and it refers to either automatic (reactive non-deliberate) or conscious deliberate activation of amygdaloid body processes (by cortex influence).

The power to click is a simple gift from life. The clicking is a simple shunting of incoming neutral-valenced cosmic consciousness backward into old rootstern. or forward into frontal lobes, as needed; as self-chosen.

The purpose of choosing to master the skill of brain self-control is to choose each moment’s state of consciousness— state of ego; is to maximize your primary creative production— pre-conscious production— of work for mankind and humankind; is to help perfect planet Earth via educating child to whole brain harmony; is to understand and flow with cosmic unity.

Neil Slade often claims to be acting in behalf of the Lingo estate. In all fairness, we should look at then entire chain of events that transpired upon Lingo’s death. To begin with Neil Slade was one of the first individuals to find out about the death of TD. Upon hearing of Lingo’s death, Neal took it upon himself to go to the property of Lingo and take at least 2 known items…a 1940’s Martin guitar, and a preserved brain. A 1940’s Gibson banjo was also taken, and is in the possession of one Harmony Asning Stang. It took the Lingo’s family members several days to arrive from San Francisco, and other individual arrived on the property the weekend following Lingo’s estate.

One individual who was familiar with the property inventory found that almost everything of value had gone missing. This included, but was not limited to: 3 chain saws, WWII medals and uniforms that were TD’s, a Nazi flag and luger, a Winchester 30-06, numerous tools, post hole digger, etc. The whereabouts of these items are still unknown. If Slade states that he is acting in behalf of the Lingo Estate, then he should be able to produce legal documents stating such. To date none of these documents have ever been presented, most likely because they do not exist. Consequently, it would be safe to say that Slade does not represent the Estate of Lingo. The family of Lingo had a very negative perception of Slade. The accused Slade of: 1) supplying TD with copious amounts of Vodka, which one family member  swears lead to the death of Lingo. It should be noted that Lingo had a congenital heart disease and no correlation between Lingo’s vodka consumption and deal was ever made. 2) the family was steep in religion, and was deeply offended when they found statements in Lingo’s journal that Slade had provided Lingo with very young women, women that Lingo had sex with. Given these 2 perceptions of Slade by the family, then it seems highly unlikely that they would put Slade in charge of any intellectual or real property of TD Lingo. All that Neal Slade needs to do to clear this matter is present the legal documentation.

One only has to go to the Slade website to see that Slade has assumed the duty of being Lingo’s protégée. Slade likes to post letters that Lingo wrote him. Letters where Lingo showers Slade with praise and all kinds of accolades. Slade also states that Lingo wanted him to “inherit” all of Lingo’s real property. This, according to Slade, was made in front of several witnesses. But, unfortunately is inadmissible in court.  To add credibility to his own self-worth, Slade likes to belittle others. This belittling includes posting posting for public perusal personal letters between Lingo and other individuals. Besides being unethical, one has to question why a “successful” person like Slade would resort to such tactics? Does it matter to Slade’s work what Lingo said about someone 20-30 years ago? Heck, I had a girlfriend in 1985. So what? It is time to move on, but for some reason Slade feels that he must air his dirty laundry in public. Any program that is valid, will stand on its own merits and the capitalist marketplace will ultimately determine the acceptance of such. But the real question to be addressed is: “Does Slade properly represent the work of TD Lingo?”

It is true that Lingo talked of amygdala clicking, and multiple orgasms. Slade has adopted the amygdala gimmick and added a splash of cloud bursting, but this is not representative of Lingo’s work. The 2 major components of Lingo’s work were: 1) Primal Nature, and 2) Self-Therapy. Lingo based his Primal Nature component upon the works of the American Transcendentalist movement, represented by the like of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, etc. Lingo also often used the Thoreau phrase: “”In Wildness Is the Preservation of the World.” Nature was the natural healing agent that the modern brain needed to clear it of cultural entropy. No where in Slades writing will you read anything about primal nature, or the role it plays in healing the brain from past traumas. In fact, Slade avoids what was ultimately the core of Lingo’s work…Self-Therapy. according to Lingo, only by identify past traumas, dealing with them via “Self Trauma Drama, rewriting the “scene”, and then forgiving could one attain self-realization. Does Slade teach Self-Therapy in his body of work. To date there has been no proof of such. 3) The last component that TD felt was imperative to self-realization, and to physical/intellectual/emotional/spiritual maturity was the “community service” component. According to Lingo, only when one was willing to give/work for others in a non-egotistically manner could he/she truly mature. Lingo taught that community service should not be seen as a means to an end, but as an end in itself. Lingo always judged the validity of any program by the emphasis they put on true community service, and the willingness of the leaders of any group to persuade/lead others into performing community service. How does Slade’s program address community service.

Ultimately, if Slade’s program is truly a representation of Lingo’s work then it should have: a primal nature component, it should teach self-therapy, and it should emphasize community service. To just grab a marketing gimmick like “amydala clicking” or “multiple orgasms” and run with it, is to avoid the ultimate goal of TD Lingo. That goal was to help the individual attain full emotional maturation in order to save planet earth. You mature by doing your therapy within primal nature, and you help save the planet by helping others and working for the good of others and the planet. Words are just words, but the actions of any man or woman can tell us all that we need to know to determine if the individual is truly sincere in helping the planet survive…and this is what Lingo wanted.
