A subliminal message is a signal or message designed to pass below the normal limits of perception. For example it might be inaudible to the conscious mind (but audible to the unconscious or deeper mind) or might be an image transmitted briefly and unperceived consciously and yet perceived unconsciously. In the everyday world, some have claimed that subliminal techniques are used in advertising and propaganda.

Brainwashing and Mind Control in Religious Cults and Elsewhere\nhttp://www.apologeticsindex.org/b09.html\n\nthis resource for finding out oddetys of beliefs in different groups.\nyou might find some info there to help you in your quest.\nI do know the catholics have nothing on the Jehovas Witness when it comes to accusations of ministers abusing younger members...they have many sex abuse scandles and there are yahoo groups specific to many faiths that are for ex members who seek understanding from others who also see thru the stuff and nonsense.

Not a single one on television or radio. \n\nSome press adverts in targeted publications can be interesting, for example for tech devices.\n\nAn Adverts job tho is not to work directly, but when you next go to the store and see 2 different products, to choose the one you saw advertised. This is the subliminal message they deliver.

People have the ability to create "thought forms."  Particularly in groups it is easy to create hysteria as well.  The biggest problem with this data is there's no way to have a control group so its hard to know for certain what was going on.\n\nOn the other hand, Poltergeists are never a "real ghost" they are in fact the manifestations of someone or some thing's latent psychic energy.  Also, Demons are always looking for belief to exploit... the results of this study really don't come as much of a surprise to me. It's a shame they never tried to identify further what really happened.\n\nThanks for sharing! ^^\n\n*added* Epona, I reported you... it's been over 24 hrs and still no response.  My question is, why did people give you two thumbs up for not giving an answer?

Without knowing what organization this is exactly and what it does or provides to whom, it is hard to answer in specifics. However, I can tell you that internet advertising&#92;presence is NOT completely a stand alone solution. You need other pieces to generate web traffic. While you can opt to try different internet mediums from meta-tags linked to search engines as first or primary results by location or industries, and banner advertising on other sites, what has proved more effective are other traditional media to drive web traffic. From mailings, to print ads or TV and radio announcements.\n\nI know it is a bit hard to hear if you had envisioned that by internet alone one could bring thier message to the masses or a targeted audiance which would be SO MUCH cheaper...but that is not the true dynamic of things. There are exceptions, however, but, by and large this is how it works. If you would like to inform me further of your organization, what it does and offers to whom...then I could help you further.

The whole thing is rife with Freemason symbols.\nWhat's with the pyramid, this isn't Egypt!\nit also says novus ordo seclorum which I have heard means new world order.\nThe eye is supposed to be the all seeing eye of Horus from the egyptian mystery religions.\nAh, the masons and their ilk- is there really a sinister shadow fraternity within an apparently benign lodge? Is there a sinister shadow government that really controls?\nIf you read Morals and Dogma, a book of masonic literature you will be exploring an "occult" realm of philosopy and theosophy.\nBut I don't know for sure most of them aren't just members of a club that does community service.\nTripping on Illuminat conspiracies while interesting, doesn't seem to really lead anywhere productive!

I've never quote thought of it the way you just stated, but I myself have decided to cut out the middle management and talk to the boss himself. Like the middle man in sales, I buy direct and avoid other's profit$, (prophets?) I don't make a point a claiming to have any great revelations for the world, in fact, I make a point not to, as I know most people would have about the same interest in my divine revelations as I have in their's, not to mention being considered a nutjob. Why don't some of the bigmouths today such as Pat Robertson realize how they must look to the world? I don't even take much stock in what the prophets of old of any religion ever had to say about the almighty ultimate power of the universe. Some people might say things about the problem of having every ding-a-ling on the planet running around touting  his own brand of theology, but that doesn't seem like it would be a problem if that's how the master of the universe wanted to disclose himself to the world. To me, it's all about controlling other people with fear and superstition while gaining prestige and nothing more. God's judgement sounds to me like just another way of saying "You just wait until your father gets home." Well, my father has an open-door policy and allows me to communicate with him about whatever is on my mind without having to go through the middle man.  - 'nuf said!

I go to a church where they cast out demons. It's called a "deliverance ministry". Just last week, there was a woman there, who had about 12 different demons expelled from her.  I think maybe people have been desensitized to the reality of demonic spirits by all the horror movies they've seen over the years.  They've come to believe that they're just a part of sensationalized fiction, rather then reality.  But in fact, there are probably thousands of people in America right now, that are possessed by evil spirits, and they don't even know it.  They've opened the doorway to darkness by getting involved in occult practices, such as witchcraft and satanism.  T.V. Shows like "Charmed", have made witchcraft look like harmless fun, when in fact, it is a very dangerous practice.  It's all a part of Satan's plan to destroy the minds of our youth, and send them to hell.  That's because the Devil is already doomed to spend an eternity there, and he wants to take as many young people along with him as he possibly can.

Deprogramming people from brainwashed cults is very difficult. People never seem to realize they belong to a cult which lacks any evidence and which eliminates their freedom.

I'm taking your question seriously. I don't think that that's happened to me in the way that you're implying - like "The Manchurian Candidate," for example. But I do think that we are all susceptible to mind control through the media. Not the evil-scientist, direct-to-the-brain kind of thing, but I'm manipulated by television programming and advertising all the time. It changes my life in measurable ways as well as insidious ones.\n\nThink of how television commercials are set to be louder than the program you're watching, so that you won't be able to escape them when you walk out of earshot of the TV. (The fact that most TVs now allow you a setting to compensate for this only shows that the manipulation actually exists.) \n\nElectronic manipulation probably doesn't look like the mind-control movies. It looks like bright lights, snazzy ads, peer pressurized consumer campaigns, airbrushing, makeup, computer graphics, and web addresses that catch my attention and funnel me over to the computer, where I turn my attention away from the physical world, towards the electronic one.

It's just a scheme to make money. \n*sarcasticly* Unlike other religions

Yes. And I know the religious arguments set forth by some in certain faiths against such things. But I also know that many religions accept such things as normal, even good. I have experienced, first hand, such communications. I wonder if the religious folks who say its wrong can do that? I mean, base what they say about in on actual personal experience, rather than what someone else said in a book written in a different language, in a different culture, centuries ago? Probably not. But that's OK, they can believe what they want. I do. And I know, from my own experience, that people who have passed on can and do communicate. Spirit communication with departed souls is a very real thing. And can be a very wonderful experience.. And its them, not some "fallen angel" or "evil spirit" pretending to be them. How do I know THAT? I've talked with them.

You answered the question yourself. \n\nThe audience has people planted in it to produce both the statement of pride -and- the reaction. It works in a manner similar to the way a laugh track works in a situation-comedy.  These people are "shills". Other shills also begin the boo'ing because it instigates the rest of the audience to join in: it is human nature, when in a large crowd to conform, and this is a way of manipulating the crowd to behave in a way that the producers wish them to behave.\n\nThe purpose of the show's producers is as you said; to drum up ratings. The effect is entirely artificial - they are directed to do what you see them do on the show. \n\nThey are simply pandering to the lowest common denominator - These "talk-shows" are intentionally using the agent provocateur ploy and they inflame racial tensions like this regularly when the audience has been too quiet, and reasonable lately - because a quiet audience is boring to most of the viewers... and if they get bored they channel surf to watch something new or different.\n\nBefore you start to accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist you should know this is based on verbatim descriptions from staff who work on the shows.\n\nBTW: Reality TV is similarly "set-up" and artificial. Sometimes even the news is more "drama" than reality too. You should probably realize that the media has always been about providing  spectacles and circuses going back to Roman times - to keep people from rising up against the emperor and the aristocracy. We've just changed the names of those roles in recent times.

Sublinminal messaging works.  So well infact that is was banned in the US.
