Twilight Learning Revisited1
If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you; if you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.
—Gnostic gospel The late Thomas Budzynski developed Twilight Learning technology in the 1970s. Twilight Learning utilizes EEG neurofeedback to train the subject to enter a theta rhythm dominant brain state (4–7 Herz), and then presents auditory “change messages” to the individual while in this hypersuggestible state. The article reviews the scientific background from which he developed the Twilight Learning technology, including research on hypersuggestibility and enhanced learning in “twilight brain states.” The author compares the Twilight Learning approach to the Peniston Protocol, which was shown to have well-documented therapeutic effects with alcoholism and post-traumatic stress disorder.
