Consciousness and Sound

Sound has for millennia been an avenue for inner exploration. When we listen to the lilt of a mountain brook, or the rhythm of a human heart, sound provides us a pathway to the subtle energies in the deep reaches of our psyche. Sound transports us to consciousness states where we encounter insight, healing, growth, and our highest creativity.

Vantage Quest uses sound in a very unique way.  It is a hand crafted chord that is edited in our proprietary method to create a psychoacoustic immersion field.  When you listen using a pair of headphones, the neural firings in your brain synchronize with the sounds on the CD.  This is called the frequency following effect.  This effect can be generated with light (photic driving) or with sound (auditory driving).  These two methods are the basis of every mind machine, entrainment tape, or light sound device on the market.  Most of the auditory drivers use binaural or phantom beats.  That is, a beat frequency that your brain synthesizes as it tries to resolve two mistuned tones fed to opposite ears.

So what makes Vantage Quest different?

Causing the brain to try to resolve two frequencies that are out of tune does work, but we feel it is like forcing the brain to go into distortion in order to achieve clarity.  We took a different approach.  The frequencies on all the VQ CDs are exactly the same to both ears but they are edited by hand to transpose them into brainwave frequencies that span from delta, through theta, alpha, and up to mid-beta.  They are then mixed in different proportions for the two hemispheres of the brain to counter each hemisphere's predilection towards logical or spatial operations.  Thus, both sides come into balance with each other.  Also, because we entrain a harmonic matrix of frequencies across the spectrum, the brains "background noise" falls into consonant activity with the deep theta states that form the heart of the matrix.  Synthesizing scientific research, ancient traditions, and modern technology, no other device, or process offers this level of clarity and potency in your sound experience.

Whether you Quest for higher creativity, insight and growth, an aid to healing, or the relaxation found at the still point of a turning world, Vantage Quest will assist you on your journey. Vantage Quest is a resounding doorway to the fertile mindscape within your being.

Creating is an act of sharing. Vantage Quest is what I have to share with you. As its developer and researcher, I've heard from hundreds of users who benefit in ways even I never imagined. It works! I want to give you an effective tool you can afford and use.

I know it's easy to pass on a new idea for: "What if it doesn't work?"
But I ask you: "What if it does?"

Thanks for your interest,
Carlisle Bergquist, MA, LCMFT

"Vantage Quest . . . is a doorway without dogma."
- - Philip N. Richins, M.Ed.

• Vantage Quest is a personal transformation tool on CD designed to produce deep relaxation states.
  
• The sound of Vantage Quest produces unique consciousness states through subtle energy brain wave entrainment.
  
• Vantage Quest is a synthesis of scientific research, ancient tradition, and modern technology.
  
• The reverie Vantage Quest induces enhances creativity and generates insights, reflection, growth, and healing.

Stanley Krippner, Ph.D. says of Vantage Quest:

"Over the millennia, sound has been one of the powerful tools used to alter consciousness, and to transform moods and feelings. Vantage Quest follows in this venerable tradition, utilizing cutting edge technologies to provide deep, intense experiences for its users that they can use for enhancing personal enjoyment, evoking mental imagery, identifying bodily energies, and intensifying sensations and perceptions. The number of effects are diverse and potentially beneficial. People who utilize Vantage Quest will find that it challenges their creative potential in a variety of ways."

Renowned psychologist and author, Dr. Krippner researches consciousness, parapsychology, and alternative healing. The author or co-author of more than five hundred books and journal articles, his most recent titles, Spiritual Dimensions of Healing, and Personal Mythology, are available at your local bookseller.

Vantage Quest's developer, Carlisle Bergquist, is a co-author with Dr. Krippner of The Magenta Phenomenon, an exploration of a Brazilian healer. The article appears in The Journal of Exceptional Human Experience, 1994. To find out more about these exceptional encounters in Brazil, read Carlisle's on-line essay Creativity, Healing, and Shamanism.

Vantage Quest is not a motivational tape, a set of problem solving techniques, nor is it music embedded with subliminal messages. It actually alters consciousness.

• Vantage Quest produces the synchronization effect through a process we developed called a Harmonic Matrix. This process is unmatched in any other product. It does not use subliminal messages or binaural pulses to produce the entrainment effect.
  
• It works safely, effectively, and quickly. You are not required to go through a lengthy training; yet, extended use leads you to ever deepening states of awareness.
  
• Vantage Quest requires no expensive special equipment. There are no peculiar eyeglasses or processors to buy. You need only your home stereo CD player, and a good pair of headphones.
  
• Unlike other trance-inducing products that stimulate Theta and Alpha brain wave activity, Vantage Quest excites a broad range of brain wave frequencies with its Harmonic Matrix. This produces an exceptional state of clarity along with the deeply relaxed state.
  
• The soon to be released Vantage Quest System includes 12 CDs designed to entrain different Harmonic Matrices; thus, you can select the appropriate one and "tune" your experience as desired.

How You use Vantage Quest.

Use Vantage Quest with headphones just as you would listen to a favorite CD (compact disc).

• Use Vantage Quest at a time of your convenience each day, or as often as you can.
• Find a time and place without disturbance. No cat in the lap. No phone calls. Don't try to listen while you do other things. Vantage Quest's sound stimuli are subtle, so outside distractions will override the experience. Set aside some time just for yourself that you can look forward to each day with Vantage Quest.
• Sit relaxed in a comfortable position and listen to the tones on the CD. Use a good pair of headphones. If you lie down you may fall asleep.
• Take a few minutes to regain a more alert state of consciousness before returning to your normal activities.
• CAUTION: Do not use Vantage Quest while operating an automobile or any dangerous equipment. Vantage Quest is not suitable for your use if you suffer from a seizure disorder, due to the strong sound stimuli that may affect you.

Vantage Quest does not use any subliminal messages or hypnotic suggestions to produce its effects. Thus it is easily adapted for several different uses. Each Vantage Quest CD contains 3 tracks. Track #1 has a brief guided imagery induction leading into VQ's Harmonic Matrix and then an awakening at its end. Track #2 contains only the Harmonic Matrix. Track #3 contains just the awakening. Track #2 may be used when you no longer need the vocal induction to relax or when you wish to repeat the track for a longer experience. Track #3 is just to bring you back home again.
