Much of the research published by Holosync is not their own research - it comes from independent and accredited scientific research institutes around the world. There is a large body of well documented research in this area, dating from the 1970's (when research in meditation and other mind-affecting technologies really blossomed) and some from before this.
Bil Harris is very well respected by people such as Genpo Roshi, Ken Wilbur etc. who all endorse Holosync. He has also spoken to the United Nations. The science that Bill quotes is incredibly solid. He has his own take on why what happens happens, based on the Nobel Prize winning work of Ilya Prigogine. It's a theory of his, but one that makes a lot of sense. Theories don't change anything - but years of positive results make a convincing argument.
IMO the Holosync package is very well constructed, even little things that people may not be aware of, such as using the sound of rain as the backdrop to the tones; research shows that “white noise” (like the sound of falling rain) improves the efficacy of the binaural beats.
I have not come across anything credible to suggest listening to binaural beats can damage the brain. With any successful product there will always be detractors, but in this case their number is few and, really, the extant scientific research blows them out of the water.
It is natural to be concerned. Ultimately you take responsibility for what you choose, but here you have a very significant body of independent research to support the claims made by Holosync. While anyone can create CDs like the Holosync series (and there are competitors who have reverse egnineered them and used different backing sounds…) you don't just buy into some CDs, you get a comprehensive support package and some excellent suporting literature thrown in.
While not everyone will agree with everything Bill Harris says, his ideas are backed up by solid research and work conducted by serious professionals in their fields. IMO he is the real deal and while Holosync is not the only choice available for this technology, it is a top quality product with excellent support and credibility. It was an easy choice for me.
My experiences with the programme so far (Awakening Level 1) have been fascinating and ENTIRELY consistent with the support literature sent to me as part of the programme. When my experience matches or mirrors that of others it means two things (1) if I am getting the same expriences as other programme participants, I am very likely to be getting the same results too, which is very encouraging, and (2) when my experiences match those described in the support literature, I have a reference framework from which to understand and manage those experiences, with confidence knowing this is nothing new,strange or unexpected, just totally normal for the process; which gives me confidence and determination to continue through the rough patches.
Long message … I hope it was useful for you.

PS You will never be free of doubts - that is the nature of the mind. You just need to make the leap of faith for yourself :o)
