Subliminal Messaging - Historical Perspective 

The Evolution Of Subliminal Messages Down The Years

Though Subliminal Messaging as a concept had been formally documented in academic literature since the 1860s, it took the combination of a post- (Korean)-War mindset and the cunning of a market researcher (James Vicary) to bring the topic to public attention. Unfortunately, its linking with advertisement and "hidden persuasion", though sensational, also mired subliminal messaging in controversy. The following article traces the interesting history of subliminal messaging, and how it is being used for self-development:

What Exactly Is Subliminal Messaging? 

How Subliminal Messaging Helps Your Own Development

As children, we innocently put our hundred percent trust in the elders and the society around us. Unfortunately, we do not then have the intellectual capability to consciously and alertly discern the quality of thoughts that we receive from our surroundings.

The implication is that muck and junk and negative thoughts embed themselves in our subconscious, and grow as we grow up. Our choices in life, and indeed our destiny, is shaped by the tone our subconscious acquires over time.

The article here explores we can nullify the negative impact of self-defeating thoughts by using New Age products.

Products That I Have Enjoyed - Subliminal Power (Visual Subliminal) 

Thrashing Aside What Doesn't Work, And Picking Up That Which Works!

The realization that we are not really achieving our fullest potential; that we were created by Nature (or God, or whatever is your favorite button) to do more exciting things than the humdrum of daily existence that we have mired ourselves in - is the single biggest "Aha" moment in our life.

You have experienced this "Aha" moment. Now what? How do you get out of the morass, without totally disrupting your daily routine?

That is where technology comes in. Researchers take note of the fact that you spend a lot of time these days before your computer. There are softwares in the market that can be installed on your Windows PC in a jiffy. When they start running, they begin flashing messages to you _subliminally_. The content, quality and tone of these messages can be entirely decided and controlled by you. The messages come towards you unobtrusively, without distracting you from whatever it is that you are doing. That is the beauty of the whole thing! (Here's one article where I have attempted to explain the concept in more detail.)

I have bought and experimented with quite a few products that claim to be the perfect subliminal message generator. I found that almost all of them are perfect clones of each other, with no value-add USP whatsoever. This is the one product that I prescribe and recommend for those who need it:

Brain Bullet! Another Versatile Visual Subliminal Product 

Let It Run In The Background And Change Your Subconscious

Despite its flashy name and jazzy bullet-riddled images, "Brain Bullet!" is a very easygoing software that works at the subtle level of the subconscious mind. It belongs to the genre of softwares that blend cutting-edge technology with New Age concepts that are founded on the principles of Transpersonal Psychology and Perennial Philosophy.

If you are familiar with the work of Dr. Emile Coué, you will understand Brain Bullet: it is optimistic autosuggestion techniques crossed with modern computer technology.

This tool can be used to address a diverse range of psychological issues that normally limit human potential; right from overcoming fears to obtaining clarity of thought, from altering your behavior towards the opposite sex to mastering new skills and talents, from dissolving away bad habits to being in control over one's emotions.

Brain Bullet achieves all these and any other psychological issues by deploying the technique of subliminal messaging. The underlying precept of subliminal messaging is that a human being is selective about information that they are willing to absorb or accept. This selectivity happens at the conscious level, and is determined by the environment an individual was brought up in, the degree of cynicism that surrounds them, and the strength of their desire to achieve cherished goals. This software bypasses the selective filter of the conscious mind by addressing the subconscious directly.

Messages (positive or negative) which reach the subconscious are imbibed by the latter as an axiomatic rule by which to govern one's life. The subconscious then brings the rule into reality, and one's attitudes, thoughts, and actions are shaped by the rule. For example, in the case of a student of mine, the key theme of "Self-Esteem" that I worked out for him was to accept criticism, and to not let it be a judgment of his being. Once this rule became an axiom for him, his attitudes and actions began being governed thus, and his changed personality amazes those who have known him since long.

Price of the software: USD 39.97

The market is flooded with self-improvement CDs. Audio Subliminal Messaging CDs are a special niche in this flood. How do they work?

Spammers Use Subliminal Messaging To Push Their Wares? 

The Spammers Returneth!

First it was ice-cubes languidly clinking in a long-stemmed glass - alluring you with (supposedly) subliminal symbols of erotica. Now it is funny-looking news items on underperforming stocks, with "BUY!" messages bobbing up and down every now and then.

Can't the advertisers leave us alone, for heavensake? The latest news from the spamming community is a new trojan horse that tries to subliminally persuade us to buy stock we don't care about. Here is a lucid account of the latest flick from the spammer who loves you -

Gamma Entrainment CDs - Postpone Buying Them, If You Haven't Already 

There's Still More Research To Be Done On Gamma States Of The Brain

People really like to exploit commercially anything that comes to the market, don't they? Scientists discovered freon, and people began pumping it into refrigerators, before somebody pointed to the huge hole in the skies ... Like shooting in your foot, eh? :-)

Same is with Gamma Entrainment CDs. Dr. Richard Davidson and his team conducted an experiment on Tibetan monks (in association with the Dalai Lama), and discovered that huge gamma waves were generated in the brain of the monks when they meditated. Before Dr. D could utter the next words of caution ... the market was flooded with Gamma entrainment CDs. Like shooting in your foot, eh? :-)

Here's the full story. Read, chuckle, and be warned:

Synchronize Your Brain With The Music Of The Earth! 

Schumann's Resonance & Your Brain's Natural Frequencies

Ever thought of synchronizing your brain's waves with that of Mother Nature?

Here's one possible way of doing it. Scientists have discovered specific frequency bands in which the earth's atmosphere reverberates. These frequencies are the atmosphere's natural, or resonant frequencies, and are a result of a gigantic electric circuit created between the Earth's surface and the Ionosphere. By entraining your brain's waves to this particular frequency band, the possibility of one's consciousness expanding beyond the body's limits increases manifold.

Can You Find A Person's Sexual Proclivity Through This Test? 

Sex And Subliminality

A pathbreaking research experiment was conducted by the Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota, on how one's gender and sexual preference impacted one's observation of "invisible" (read "subliminal") visual cues that were erotic in nature.

A group of 40 people - 20 males, 10 hetero, 10 gay, and 20 females, 10 hetero, 10 lesbian - participated in this experiment. Almost uncannily, they were able to identify invisible pictures that appealed to them.

This research threw up two important points:

- it was yet another thumping evidence that subliminal messaging is a scientifically-observed phenomenon, and not pseudoscience dwaddle that people (still) believe it to be.
- The test _could_ be used, either in the same format or suitably amended format, to determine a person's _true_ sexual proclivity, as opposed to their stated position.

This very interesting research work is elucidated here -

sanjaysagrawal Hello Marti, Thanks for the compliments. They make my day. :) Cheers, Sanjay. Posted October 27, 2006

Marti Interesting! I read "Subliminal Seduction" years ago, and must admit, it was pretty convincing! I still look closely at advertisments for the word "sex" imbedded in them! Nice Lens! Posted October 27, 2006

sanjaysagrawal Hello Soren, Thanks for dropping by. A message has to simply flash on the screen, for the subconscious to register it. Cheers, Sanjay. Posted October 26, 2006

Soren So, how long does a message have to be on the screen for the mind to pick it up, but the eyes do not notice it? Soren Posted October 26, 2006

sanjaysagrawal Hello Ilona, Lewis, Thank you for your good words. Much appreciated! :) Cheers, Sanjay. Posted October 26, 2006
