    Well, i guess it really does, which is the reason why most countries banned advertisers from using subliminal messages in their commercials. Subliminal messages/images in commercials are suppose to influence us subconsciously. So, we might not be able to realise it, but if you are over exposed to subliminal messages, you might get heavily influenced. This theory same goes to those who use subliminal CDs to treat ailments/habits like smoking etc ... They can just play the subliminal Cd, and if they do it often, the might eventually drop the habit. Popular sexual subliminal images are usually used in coke, pepsi, vacation ads and such. I found out a lot more about subliminal advertising at http://www.chargedaudio.com/ , thought that i might share it with you.... ((: hope this helps!

    Mr Boombstic, if you understood the function of the subliminal mind you would not have asked that question.

    Anything that goes into the "subliminal" cannot be lost, and therefore, at some time in the future, the advertising is going to be very active, if it is pushed up into the subconcious mind, then is the possibility of positive action.

    It took me 5 yrs of studying these things to be able to become a cousellor. So yes, it does work, it cannot fail.

  • I think it works,

    I "downloaded" some of those subliminal sleep/hypnosis mp3's. I put it on my bah pod before I went to bed. I caught my self doing things that you were supposed to be doing after listening to the recordings. It was creepy.

    for any more.
