Subliminal Programming is that art of inserting ideas and thoughts that inspire decisions into the mind of others without them realising/noticing. Often this is illegal by national laws/rules - however, since it is an essentially hidden art, the truth is that subliminals are present all around us in society and we need to really take some time to look for them and find them... Until we do, we are thinking other people's thoughts without even knowing!
Most of us like to think that subliminal advertising and advertising in general doesn't 'work' on us and it is true that if we are self empowered and fully conscious that they won't work on us. However, most of us are not fully conscious all of our lives and certainly not keenly aware of the possibility of subtle - almost invisible - 'cues' being inserted into our reality without us consciously realising.
The intention has generally been to associate two or more ideas in the mind of the observer which would not otherwise be associated.. Such as inserting a 'wealth' symbol or a 'sex' symbol into the scene so that the viewer unconsciously makes a connection between, say, a product and the idea that the symbol represents. This means that unconsciously (beyond the range of your own awareness) the product 'reminds' you of the inserted idea, instead of triggering you into thinking your real thoughts and feeling your real feelings about the product/thing/idea.
I have noticed that it is the 'big brands' such as Disney, Coca Cola and McDonalds that are caught using illegal subliminals in their work most often. In fact, there are many known examples Disney's children's movies that contain hidden sex acts and the word 'SEX' in large, hidden letters - A fact that most parents would not be happy about, I am sure.
Here are some more examples from corporate advertising that show a small slice of how 'attractive' ideas are inserted into images and videos in almost undetectable ways -
Derren Brown Lifts The Lid
In this brief video, Derren Brown - the UK expert in psychological trickery - demonstrates how he successfully turned the tables on the advertisers by subliminally programming two marketing designers into incorporating his ideas into their work without them knowing they had been programmed. Consider how the techniques in this video are being used all around us, every day on bus / train advertising boards, TV adverts and in countless other ways:
Do we really want or need people that would stoop so low to continue to fill our minds?
Given that this kind of 'thought implanting' amounts to an offensive act of non-physical control, it is not a stretch of the imagination to compare such practices to the physical enslavement that most of us consider to be totally evil.
The very least we can do is to STOP GIVING MONEY TO THE COMPANIES AND GROUPS THAT USE THESE TECHNIQUES - WHICH IS PROBABLY MOST OF THE BIG ONES!
