Subliminal Messaging: Fraud or Legit?

Whether it's subliminal or overt, what's the real message? The first thing here is to discern why you feel you need any more subliminal information than is already inherent in matrix conditioning. Subliminally, when I see a subliminal tape offered, my mind sends me a message, and overtly, this translates, for me, into "Can I trust the people [or other entities] behind this tape? How do I know, since its subliminal, that it doesn't say "Go jump off a bridge?" Seems like a redudant point, but really I think its your belief in subliminal aids that gives them power.

I'm better off taping my own voice and playing it while I'm asleep or doing something else. I don't trust any one else with my subconscious.

I think subliminals mainly affect us when they induce thoughts we take as our own and therefore do not question, which requires that we are unaware of the subliminal to begin wtith (hence the term SUB-liminal).

For example, I accidentally discovered that if I whistle very quietly under my breath, more quietly than others around me in a busy hallway or department store can hear, four times out of five someone around me "gets the good idea" to start whistling as well. It's similar to how yawns are contagious. So if the subliminal "spend money" is broadcast through speakers in a department store, someone may "get the good idea" to spend money, thinking it's his own idea.

This is a very interesting field of study. From the stage-magicians "distracting your attention", to hypnotism, suggestion, altering your body language cues to induce a specific perception (which is actually similar to Toltec "stalking" methods as per Castanedas and Co.).
It has become one of my favourite fields of experimentations since I am one of these people who invariably attracts far too much attention. The belief/experience built by this obviously reinforces itself and generates more similar experiences (in a YCYOR type-of-way). The trick is therefore to neither "feed" the perception of the observer nor your own (if it is a destructive one), or alternatively to distort the individual's perception while maintaining your own.

In terms of suggestion (body language or else) I find that it is only possible to suggest if you are able to access an existing field of data, This could be some archetypal thing or more commonly something out of the common gene-pool or psychological-pool (probably encoded somewhere). The best way is of course to be able to access the individual's own field of consciousness. This can be done either by psychic-empathic perception or relying on clues "volunteered" by the individual.

The whistling trick mentioned also has, of course, a self-fulfilling-YCYOR element since each experience will reinforce the belief (that it works) and therefore will make it work better providing that Mr. Montalk exerts some level of objectivity in the "monitoring" of the effects of the whistling AND remains aware of true-YCYOR Laws (Unbending intent, belief in the process, Understanding of the process, Knowledge of the process, Acknowledgment of the results)

I found an intereesting image of a poster from London which apparently shows hidden subliminal images which have been revealed using the process described in the article. I won't post the link directly, but if you go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
and search for 'Surveillance' you will find an article - there is a poster image on the right which leads to the intereesting article.

What do you think?

Legit.
your average brain-entrainment device (light & sound machine) is the externalisation of a hitherto secret science - mastered by the russians in the 30's already.
..if 'alpha' or 'theta' state can be induced - the 'programming' is the elementary part.as the powers that be would know :there are many ways to skin a cat,or, program a human.Pavlov, was'nt it? just more advanced in terms of aplication and ALMOST completly unknown by joe-soap, or glossed over by less enquiring minds.
Sneaky part is the number of ways 'alpha' brain-wave state can be induced.Just plain ol' light can do it (or sound).
...and we thought it was the good 'e' in clubs that whacked you out on the dancefloor  -  but a strobe light can hit you harder.

Right, but also because it has an effect on your psyche. Subconciously. Just like what Dubya said the other day, "capturing the great spirit of America" - they try to subconciously guide the desires and indeed the very lives of people because they know that anyone's reaction will be to simply scoff!
