very true! and seeing as how there at 6 billion or so of us i feel a-ok about that

would the use of very high generated frequencies layed in the background of music to partially psychologically impare for a brief moment of time be considered subliminal?

I think the results of such things are actually purely physical, I know that there is research into acoustical weapons and they have shown that ultrasonic sounds can actually be leathal in rats (and calculated to be so as well in humans with the apropriate intensity and duration).

A fantastic article on the development and physical effects is here:

as you say psychologically impair, yes, I suppose so, but subliminal is usually meant as a message having some meaning or association so there is a subtle distintion.

In personal experience, the odd time I found that I was feeling very uncomfortable while reading something and began to realize it had something to do with past troublesome matters but I couldn't at first think why they had made their return just then. As I kept feeling uncomfortable I had to stop and think it over, eventually I realized that a remark in the text was reminescent of something that had to do with something that had to do with those past troubles, but I hadn't fully noticed the connection while following the line of the topic I was reading.

There can be so many things going on in parts of our mind at once, some of them nearer to our awarenes than others. I think that's what's behind the subliminal mechanism.

AHH
the Elusive subliminal messages
Funny how theres a guy who's doing a project like i am on subliminal perception, i'm doing it for my PIP (personal Interest Project) for Society and Culture here in Australia, and yea
Here's some info i found

""Are There Subliminal Influences in Daily Life ?
We are unaware of a great many influences on our behavior. The vast majority of these influences are not hidden in any special sense, but are simply things that we do not generally pay attention to. Social psychologists have identified many of these sneaky forms of influence. Some are fairly obvious, such as the wearing of a uniform or a white lab coat to inspire unearned credibility. Others can be very subtle, nearly undetectable, such as the dilation of our pupils while talking to each other. The effect of these influences on our behavior usually goes unrecognized, even though we could detect most of them if were looking for them. Most do not carry specific verbal information, they carry gut-level emotional messages that can and do sway our decision-making processes, and the way we interpret any verbal messages that accompany them. Some, however, carry very sophisticated verbal messages, such as the influence of myth and metaphor. ""

And Finally the Great Leonardo Da Vinci Said

Leonardo da Vinci: "If you look at walls that are stained or made of different kinds of stones . . . you can think you see in them certain picturesque views of mountains, rivers, rocks, trees, plains, broad valleys, and hills of different shapes. You can also find in them battles and rapidly moving figures, strange faces and costumes, as well as an infinite number of things. . . . "

Subliminal messages are not always in music or movies. You at least go through one subliminal message a day. Has there ever been a word that went through your school that you thought was one of the dumbest things you have ever heard, yet after a period of time you ended up using it as well? Look at it as if you were talking to somebody else and somebody behind used that word. You might not be paying attention to it, but your subconscious mind is. If it hears that word enough times, even though your not hearing it, you will still end up using it. It doesn't really matter what you want to do if it still gets programmed into your mind.
