Mode One - you should put yourself in a comfortable position and make time not to be disturbed. Then, play track-one, the hypnosis track and then track-two, the subliminal track. This is the most effect method of listening, but not the only method. 2. Mode Two - a very powerful mode we call 'play and forget'. This mode is to only play track-two, the subliminal track. This mode can be used when you are driving, watching TV, working around the house, or engaged in an activity that draws your focus. Think of an air-conditioner. You hear it when it first starts, but after a minute or two you no longer hear it, even though it continues to run. The object with this mode is to forget that the CD is playing, don't "listen", just let it blend into the background and move on with what you are doing. You want to distract your conscious mind so that it will not be on guard. 3. Mode Three - sleep mode. The optimum method hear is to play track-one and then track-two as you go to sleep. Then, just have track-two play all night long. You can have track-one play all night long, but it works best if you only listen to track-one once, and then have track-two repeat over and over at night as you sleep. We sleep in stages. Sometimes very deep and sometimes just barley asleep. It is these changing states that make this a good method. You conscious mind is really at rest and as you change sleep states, you open and close access to the subconscious mind. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Feature
Article: Should you attempt to program someone else without In his forward to the book Ethical Issues in Behavior Modification*, Social Sciences Professor Albert Bandura points out that "serving as arbiter of ethical matters is no easy task". This is certainly true for what we strive to accomplish and given the choice, I'm sure anyone in the self-help industry who understands this statement from experience would rather not impose their will but would rather be providers of methods for the willing. To openly work with people as they seek to mold other people unaware is not our aim nor should it be the overall aim of any group dedicated to personal transformation (keying in on the word 'personal' it could even be argued that a person is best helped at the outset by allowing them to decide) although there are exceptions and that's what we hope to cover here, along with some basic ethical guidelines for thinking about imposed interventions. Behavioral modification has always divided itself along the lines of elective from the personal point of view and imposed on the social level. We don't wait until people are grown to see if they mind being given the basic codes of social conduct because it serves a greater good to do so. The aspect of the subconscious becoming unbalanced in the process complicates things greatly however, so there are still behaviors that slip through the cracks to the point where even these basics start to come unhinged and from this dynamic the question is born. This is where the concept of intervention enters the picture but hopefully never as a clevely disguised personal agenda of selfishness to force others to conform to our will. So what about subliminal messaging programs? As stated earlier, we'd rather you only use our products in an atmosphere of informed consent. Realizing as we do, however, that certain conditions may prevail in your life that require some form of intervention and that, after much suffering on the part of others besides the subject in question you have reached the point of considering using subliminal methods to assist in a change of some kind, the following should be noted: Subliminal communications has a distinct advantage in interventional usage because the concepts entirely ignore the conscious will. Just like the first time (formative years) that certain information was passed into the core of your mind, you don't need to be asked. If this were NOT the case, Madison Avenue would find any impulse towards subconscious targeting, direct or aesthetic, to be a useless waste of time! As it is though, a massive amount of effort is spent to sell to both our consciousness and subconsciousness. So is it the best way to sway someone without asking them? Yes, it probably is. Is it right to do so under ethical considerations? This is a harder question that can't be answered. If you're considering altering someone via the use of a technology like this you should first and foremost consider the following..... -Is this change directing at making my life better, or theirs? (You may even uncover two answers, the one you want to give, and the truth!) -Will this change, when it occurs, actually increase the chance of their true personal happiness? (Again, a brutal sense of self-honesty is required here.) -If this person changes and I tell them I played a role by using this technology, will they be grateful? (No way to predict this when you think about it unless self-abuse on the part of the individual is obvious.) This is one of the toughest questions we can be asked about subliminal messaging. We know it works, we know how to do great things using it..... but we can never answer how it should be applied in the same way that scientists developing a nuclear bomb cannot understand the political ethics behind its actual use. What can be advised when considering your actions is that you look to yourself for a solution first. In other words, make sure the other person actually HAS a problem. It could be your perception that is telling you something is wrong! That question having been resolved, you should proceed with caution and consider carefully the use subliminal messaging in interventional use. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If you would like to be taken off of our list, please use this link %BASIC:UNSUBLINK% Subliminal.net
