Subliminal Messages

Received quite a few comments and queries on my post Satanic Verses and this is some sort of continuation to it. I am sure many of you have heard of Subliminal Messages, and if not click that and you can have more info supplied by Wikipedia.

Started back in 1898 and being researched by many scientists and groups but opinion varies with some quarters saying that it was not very effective and some swear by it. One of my pal kuanhoong mentioned that what is the point of masking the satanic verses backwards in audio since nobody can understand it! Credit to kuanhoong who asks this and truly even many psychologists said that and their opinion were same as kuanhoong. Jean also said that she have heard of it being mentioned when she was a kid. Mommibee mentioned about the christian message masked into christian songs. Being not an expert or claiming any real knowledge of these things, all I can only venture is that somehow satanists do speak backwards and perhaps thats why. Another personal point is that spiritual things can only be perceived and understand spiritually rather than mentally.

Back to the point of subliminal messages which the masking of satanic messages or any other messages fall under, is now widely used by some psychologist who uses hypnotsim in their treatment! I believe some advertising companies also do that and one of the well known experiment was conducted by Coca-cola back in 1957! They used video which works like this. Slotting in a few frames into the video tape and when played back normally, people don’t see the ads but subconsciously they picked it up! The slotted frames said ‘Drink Coca-cola’ The result was that there was an increase in Coca-cola sales that day. Well that much for effectiveness but later in 1958, UK, US and Australia banned the use of subliminal suggestions in this form. Perhaps the next time when you are in a cineplex watching a movie and suddenly you feel an urge to have pop-corns, maybe you are being subliminally suggested! Perhaps.

What I think would be a favorite for many husbands who have naggy wives, is to mask some messages ‘I am a good wife, so I am not going to nag’ into her favorite music and play it all day long! hehe! Oh that was just an example so men, used your creativity and suggest anything to your wives and see how effective subliminal messaging goes! Guess better than sms! hehe!

    I heard of hidden subliminal messages in advertisement, but then again it is hard to prove its effectiveness. :-)

    yes, i believed the advertising companies are using subliminial msgs to attract more people to buy their products. Try to check out Darren Brown in youtube.com. He’s a genious and kind of scary of the things he’s capable of doing.

Got something to say?
