Subliminal Programming & it's Usefulness in Self Help
Subliminal and hypnotic suggestions. Some Facts. Is it Good or Bad?
Subliminals are hidden suggestions that only your subconscious perceives.
They can be audio, hidden behind music, or visual, airbrushed into a picture,
flashed on a screen so fast that you don't consciously see them, or cleverly
incorporated into a picture or design. All of these are used in self help and
self improvement programs.
Most audio subliminal reprogramming tapes
offer verbal suggestions
recorded at a low volume. You must question the
efficacy of this technique--if subliminals are not perceptible, they cannot be
effective, and subliminals recorded below the audible threshold are therefore
useless.
The oldest audio subliminal technique uses a voice that follows
the
volume of the music so subliminals are impossible to detect without a
parametric equalizer.
A way has been found a way to psycho-acoustically
modify and synthesize suggestions so that they are projected in the same chord
and frequency as the music, thus giving them the effect of being part of the
music. But in using this technique, there is no way to reduce ous frequencies to
detect the subliminals. In other words, although the suggestions are being heard
by the subconscious mind, they cannot be monitored with even the most
sophisticated equipment.
And I shudder to think about the propaganda and
commercial manipulation that we are exposed to on a daily basis. There is simply
no way to know what is behind the music you hear.Or what you see when it is
flashed in front of your eyes more quickly than you can see normally but that
your subconscios can "READ". A perfect example of this in use for self help can

It may even be possible to
hide a second voice behind the voice to which you are listening. The series by
Wilson Bryan Key, Ph.D., on subliminals in advertising and political campaigns
well documents the misuse in many areas, especially printed advertising in
newspapers, magazines, and posters.
Dick Stuphen tells us:- Another
technique that I'm just learning about is unbelievably slippery; it is called an
Interspersal Technique and the idea is to say one thing with words but plant a
subconscious impression of something else in the minds of the listeners and/or
watchers.
Let me give you an example: Assume you are watching a
television commentator make the following statement:
“Senator Johnson is
assisting local authorities to clear up the stupid mistakes of companies
contributing to the nuclear waste problems."
It sounds like a statement
of fact, but, if the speaker emphasizes the right word, and especially if he
makes the proper hand gestures on the key words, you could be left with the
subconscious impression that Senator Johnson is stupid.
The big question
about subliminals is: do they work?
Yes they do, and they are very useful in
Self Help Programs.
Examples of these and other subliminal aids at other
sites can be found at http://www.1clickinfo.net.
A lengthy report on this
subject ends with the statement, "these findings support the use of subliminal
approaches such as taped suggestions for weight loss and the therapeutic use of
hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming." Quote by Dick Sutphen.
