Why
Subliminal Audios Fail To Create Change
(And why Think
Right Now! audios are NOT subliminal)
Countless
government & university studies show that the overwhelming majority of people who use subliminal CDs don’t
make any changes at all.
While auditory
and
visual subliminal suggestions that can be heard softly or seen have proven to affect behaviors, there are seven factors that keep commercial subliminal
audio recordings from changing behavior.
The
7 most common reasons for this failure are…
1. Ears
don't hear it.
Many
independent
university and government studies have concluded that
it's nearly impossible to reproduce "inaudible yet audible" voice
messages, underneath music or other sounds, which aim to vibrate the air and
thus, the ear drums. And in lab tests, commercial CDs, even from
the oldest companies, gave no better results than playing just music alone.
2.
Improperly
worded statements.
Many
companies don't and won't include their affirmations with the product.
Of the companies that have given their messages to researchers, many have
affirmations that couldn't possibly affect positive changes in most listeners and
some have some instructions that are extraordinarily harmful.
It can only be assumed that these people are only in this field for the money, because they haven't
done even the basic necessary research about how the mind accepts and rejects information.
Plus, the "keep it positive, keep it in the present, keep it first
person" is just the basic building block of only one type of
affirmation.
But most subliminal CD makers don't even get this rudimentary step
right.
3. Inadequate
Playback Equipment.
Old,
worn out or cheap players that may not have been properly cleaned in years will not have the
capabilities needed to clearly reproduce words supposedly underlying the
masking sounds.
4. Worn
Out Tape.
Even
if words masked with music could be delivered in an understandable form, if
the tape is old, dirty or demagnetized, it would be no more valuable to
helping change emotions or actions than a recording of ocean sounds.
5. Distance
From The Sound Source.
Most
people have the misconception that audio subliminals can reprogram their
controlling thoughts with the sound source anywhere in the room, house or
automobile. Bad news...
The sounds
that make speech understandable, for the most part, are the high-pitched
consonant sounds. The high frequency sound characteristics of the consonant
letters C, J, K, P, Q, S and T help us to understand conversation. Others
like B, D, F, hard G, H and V are slightly lower pitched but still nearly
impossible to pick out with any distance or background noise.
In my years of working in the hearing field, I have personally tested the
hearing of over 4,000 people, from school children to people over 100 years
old.
I can report with absolute conviction that when the distance from
the sound source is increased, those high-pitched consonant sounds never
reach the listener’s ears because high frequency sounds (vibration)
don’t travel as far as low pitches. So the messages become unintelligible.
Especially if there is any other noise (Like music, waves, conversation, etc.) in the
area.
For instance, when people are a distance away and yelling
something to you, what do you hear?
You hear the vowel
sounds! A, E, I, O, U, Y. They're louder. You can hear the
people yelling, but often can't understand what they're saying.
6. Hearing
Loss of the Listener.
Again, in my
hearing clinic, I saw this every day. Hearing
loss affects the ability to hear higher frequencies 99% of the time.
Unfortunately, these are the exact sounds you need to register so you can
understand the spoken word. So any measurable hearing loss usually
renders subliminal audio totally useless.
7.
User Stops Playing it.
If
it’s not convenient and doesn't give immediate results, it
won’t become a habit. Then it’s just a matter of time (usually days)
before most people forget to hit that play button. Also, lingering
doubts or suspicions about any of the above mentioned reasons for failure
can cause people to give up on their tapes.
Think Right Now!
Success Conditioning Programs are not subliminal, so these limiting factors
never come into play. You hear every single word on every audio title.
