THE BATTLE FOR YOUR MIND, by Dick Sutphen -- 22.2 KB
Persuasion & Brainwashing Techniques Being Used On The Public .
(continuation)
Most audio subliminal reprogramming tapes offer verbal suggestions
recorded at a low volume. I question the efficacy of this technique.
If subliminals are not perceptible, they cannot be effective;
and subliminals recorded below the audible threshold are therefore
useless. The oldest audio subliminal technique uses a voice that
follows the volume of the music. So, subliminals are impossible to
detect without a parametric equalizer. But this technique is
patented and, when I wanted to develop my own line of subliminal
audiocassettes, negotiations with the patent holder proved to be
unsatisfactory. My attorney obtained copies of the patents which
I gave to some talented Hollywood sound engineers, asking them to
create a new technique. They found a way to psycho-acoustically
modify and synthesize the suggestions so that they are projected in
the same chord and frequency as the music, thus giving them the
effect of being part of the music. But we found that, in using this
technique, there is no way to reduce various frequencies to detect
the subliminals. In other words, although the suggestions are being
heard by the subconscious mind, they cannot be monitored with even
the most sophisticated equipment.
If we were able to come up with this technique as easily as we did,
I can only imagine how sophisticated the technology has become, with
unlimited U.S. Government and [corporate] advertising funding. And
I shudder to think about the propaganda and commercial manipulation
that we are exposed to on a daily basis. There is simply no way to
know what is behind the music you hear. It may even be possible to
hide a second voice behind the voice to which you are listening.
The series, by Wilson Bryan Key, Ph.D., on subliminals in advertising
and political campaigns, well documents the misuse in many areas,
especially printed advertising in newspapers, magazines and posters.
The big question about subliminals is: Do they work? And I guarantee
you that they do -- not only from the response of those who have used
my tapes, but from the results of such programs as the subliminals
behind the music in department stores. SUPPOSEDLY, the only message
is instructions to not steal. One East Coast department store chain
reported a 37 percent reduction in thefts in the first nine months
of testing.
A 1984 article in the technical newsletter, "BRAIN-MIND BULLETIN"
states that as much as 99 percent of our cognitive activity may be
"non-conscious," according to the director of the Laboratory for
Cognitive Psychophysiology at the University of Illinois.
The lengthy report ends with the statement:
"These findings support the use of subliminal approaches such as
taped suggestions for weight-loss and the therapeutic use of
hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming [NLP]."
MASS MISUSE
I could relate many stories that support subliminal programming, but
I'd rather use my time to make you aware of even more subtle uses
of such programming.
I have personally experienced sitting in a Los Angeles auditorium
with over ten thousand people who were gathered to listen to a
current charismatic figure. Twenty minutes after entering the
auditorium, I became aware that I was going in and out of an altered
state. Those accompanying me experienced the same thing. Since it
is our business, we were aware of what was happening, but those
around us were not. By careful observation, what appeared to be
spontaneous demonstrations were, in fact, artful manipulations.
The only way I could figure that the "eyes-open trance" had been
induced was that a 6-to-7-cycle-per-second vibration was being piped
into the room behind the air conditioner sound. That particular
vibration generates alpha [brain wave activity], which would render
the audience highly susceptible. Ten to 25 percent of the population
is capable of a somnambulistic [sleep-walking] level of altered state
of consciousness. For these people, the suggestions of the speaker
-- if non-threatening -- could potentially be accepted as "commands."
VIBRATO
This leads to the mention of VIBRATO. Vibrato is the tremulous effect
imparted in some vocal or instrumental music, and the cyle-per-second
range causes people to go into an altered state of consciousness.
At one period of English history, singers whose voices contained
pronounced vibrato were not allowed to perform publicly because
listeners would go into an altered state and have fantasies, often
sexual in nature. People who attend opera or enjoy listening to
singers like Mario Lanza are familiar with this altered state
induced by the performers.
ELFs
Now, let's carry this awareness a little further. There are also
inaudible ELFs (extra-low frequency waves). These are
electromagnetic in nature. One of the primary uses of ELFs is to
communicate with our submarines. Dr. Andrija Puharich, a highly
respected researcher, in an attempt to warn U.S. officials about
Russian use of ELFs, set up an experiment. Volunteers were wired so
their brain waves could be measured on an EEG [electro-
encephalograph]. They were sealed in a metal room that could not be
penetrated by a normal signal. Puharich then beamed ELF waves at the
volunteers. ELFs go right through the Earth and, of course, right
through metal walls. Those inside couldn't know if the signal was or
was not being sent. And Puharich watched the reactions on the
technical equipment: Thirty percent of those inside the room were
taken over by the ELF signal in six to ten seconds.
When I say "taken over," I mean that their behavior followed the
changes anticipated at very precise frequencies. Waves below six
cycles-per-second caused the subjects to become very emotionally
upset, and even disrupted bodily functions. At 8.2 cycles-per-second,
they felt very high -- an elevated feeling, as though they had been
in masterful meditation, learned over a period of years.
Eleven to 11.3 cycles-per-second induced waves of depressed agitation
leading to riotous behavior.
