The Ultimate Source for Understanding Yourself and others

what are subliminal messages

Subliminal messages are messages that are hidden within video files or desktop backgrounds that have the purpose of programming people's minds.

These messages are sent directly to the subconscious mind without being noticed by the conscious mind.

In other words the conscious mind ,which usually filters information that doesn't match a person's belief system, allows these suggestions to reach the subconscious mind without filtering them. The subliminal messages are usually displayed and removed very fast and that's why the conscious mind fails to notice them while the subconscious mind absorbs them.

How subliminal messages were used to hypnotize people

Some commercials and videos contained messages that were displayed on the screen then removed in less than 1 millisecond. These messages used to direct the viewer to either buy a product or to act in a certain way.

Here is a real life example of the use of subliminal messages to motivate viewers to do something: A company that sells fizzy drinks embedded certain suggestions in commercials and it was found that the sales increased.

This method was discovered by authorities when the videos were viewed in slow motion and the commercial was banned.

The subconscious mind, repetition and subliminal messages

Since the subconscious mind can be programmed by repetition rather than by logic (see the subconscious mind's rules of operation) you can use subliminal messages to program your own mind and to even put new beliefs in your belief system.

There are many "subliminal messages" software that can be downloaded on the web. The software will usually display the messages that you want on your computer screen with the interval you specify (usually its a very small interval so that the conscious mind doesn't notice it).

Some software come with predefined lists that can be used for different purposes. For example one software i saw had a predefined list for increasing self confidence and another one for increasing motivation.
