Well I bought it. I have one more question however. I made a file of about 7 affirmations both visual and audio. The thing I wanted to ask is if this affermation is effective "I project to the astral effortlessly".
Aslo I use this affermation together with 6 attrack great wealth affirmations. Or should I use the astral affirmation and the wealth affirmation seperatly?

Kind regards,
Timmy

You can certainly mix affirmations to a point, but I would not mix more than three objectives and keep them as short and simple as possible as well as in the present tense.

I gave in to my curiousity and bought it as well. To be clear about your answer, Adrian:

With 'objectives' you meant 'categories, right? So as long as I don't have more then 3 categories, I am allowed to have more then 3 affirmations, correct?

Not all background sounds seem to work when you try to extract them to mp3. Its kinda weird, I try to extract a bird sound and I can play it but later I try the same thing with a rainforest sound and I get Can't play the file maybe the codec comprimate the file is not supported.

I also bought the Mind Power suite, and have created a file of about 10 affirmations which refer to attracting health and wealth. However I am wondering if I should concentrate on just one subject and really make it as exact as possible- for example I could change "I am always at my perfect weight" to "I weigh 55 kilos" and only use this single affirmation till I reach my goal? I should rather do it this way and reach my targets one by one than go on with the 10 rather similar affirmations for a long period because they are too abstract- I have read in many places that for my height it is fine to weigh 64 kilos, but when I have been 64 kilos believe me I have been overweight and fat Therefore maybe it is better to give your desire exactly in a single affrimation, one at a timeuntil it is acheived?
Instead of "I earn unlimited amounts of money", would it be better to say "I earn at least 300 euros a day" or whatever amont I desire at present?
What I guess I am attempting to ask is what is the fastest method of acheiving my ideals?
Thank you

I have 2 more questions if you don't mind:

Question 1:

I use a professional soundcard with a fixed audio clock setting. It's usually set at 16 bit 44100 Hz, but |Sometimes I changed this into a higher bit dept and frequency. I use this soundcard because I use my computer as a home studio to record my music.

With this soundcard (Terratec EWX 24/96) it's not possible for several applications to use a different audio frequency at the same time and also, if I already have an audio application open, a second one won't be able to load the nessecary drivers and will give an error message.

According to this info I provided above, I doubt if the audio software provided with Mindpower Studio will work well with my system, especially if I already have opened an audio application.  And if it works, it could perhaps interfere with my recordings? I assume, if I will record music, it's best to turn off the mind studio audio apps...


Question 2:

In the Mind Power Studio pdf manual, I read that I should have received a Mind Power Secrets book as well.... But I can't find it in the downloaded folders... There are numerous Mind Power books provided, but no book with 'secrets' in the title...

I'll contact the staff via the provided email address as well.

A.S.

Hi barretina,

I leave it to others to answer most of your questions, except for this subject:

That whole weight issue is really something to reconsider in my opinion. I never understood why people even care about their weight or let other people decide how much they should weigh.

I think you should rather use an affirmation that you have a "perfect figure" if that's what you really want. I'd choose that instead of the word "weight". I mean, who should care about weight when you really think about it? Do you really want to be a certain weight? If so, why is that exactly?

I never weigh myself. Why should I if I already have a good figure?

[barretina]

Hi AS

Thanks for your reply, you are right of course but maybe I did not explain myself well- I also would not care how much I weighed and for years never knew what I weighed, but now anything over 55 bothers me- I don't know if at 55 I have a perfect figure, but I do know that I feel better, have more energy, and can wear what I like without feeling a mess! Therefore I have a goal of 55 kilos, I also mentioned the number in order to be able to have an exact affirmation, rather than a more abstract one- My idea of a perfect figure will vary very much from somebody elses and I want to meet my own targets, and not say my mothers or boyfriends!

In other words I just like being 55 kilos

Subjects:  
150 freshman and sophomore students at Richard J. Daley College, Chicago, Illinois, were selected as subjects. From this randomly selected population, seventy-five students were randomly chosen for a control group, & seventy-five were randomly chosen for an experimental group.
Materials:  
One control super 8mm film with numbers from 30 to 50 in sequence with no variations. This as the stimulus for the control group of Students. One experimental super 8mm film with numbers from 30 to 50 in sequence with variations of interspersed subliminal stimuli.
A super 8mm film projector was used to project the individual time to the S group. India ink was used to produce the stimuli assumed to be associated with the subliminal perception, and a film editor was used to cut, splice and secure the subliminal stimuli in the experimental film.
Procedure
Registration cards were drawn at random from the college administration office files for 150 freshman and sophomore students. All of the randomly selected students were asked if they might volunteer for the study. Students were than randomly selected to be either in the control or experimental group of 75 Students each. Dates and times convenient to Students and researchers were set for the film presentation.
Both s groups viewed the film in a darkened auditorium. The control group saw the control film, which was an un-spliced version, showing the numbers from 30 to 50 in sequence. Each number was visible on the screen for a viewing time of 5 seconds.  
After viewing the film, the control Students were asked to randomly write down any number from 30-50, which they had just viewed.
The experimental S group saw the experimental film, which was the spliced version. The cutting and splicing were done in the film by the addition of only 1 frame of the number 39 placed before the first number 30, and then after numbers 35, 40, 45, and 50.  
Using this procedure the number 39 appeared in only 5 additional frames (.01 sec. ea.) in the film, in addition to its normal succession in the number group. The increased stimuli were made by scratching several frames of the film with a film editor and then writing the number 39 in India ink.
After viewing the film, as before, the experimental Students were asked to randomly write down any number from 30-50, which they just viewed.
Neither the control nor the experimental group was given any information about the purpose of the study in order to reduce response bias. The means of presentation of the film to each group, and the information requesting the Students randomly write down a number were the same.
Results
Data were collected and compiled relative to the control or experimental S group.  
Figure 1 illustrates the actual numbers used in the control film and the total number of responses by the Students to each number. It might be noted that there were five chosen numbers receiving the more frequent responses. They were, respectively, 34(11), 32(7), 47(7), 44(5), and 49(5).
In Figure 2, the actual numbers used in the experimental film the total number of responses by the experimental Students, it can be seen that the most frequently selected S response was the number 39.
It was written down by 42 of the 75 (56%) experimental respondents! The next two more frequently selected numbers were 44(13) and 36(12).
Figure 3 was obtained by dividing the experimental by the control responses, multiplying by 100, in order to calculate the percentage deviation in number selection between the two S groups. The spliced number (39) was found to have the greatest percent increase in responses between the two groups, it increased 2050% between the control and experimental Students!
Conclusion and Discussion
Subliminal number stimuli did seem to effect verbal responses of the Students. When comparing the percentage deviation in the number selection between the two Student groups, it can be noted the 5 additional frames of the number 39 (the subliminal stimuli appearing .01 sec. for each presentation) did greatly influence the selection of this number by the experimental Students.
The subliminal perceptual process involved might be assumed due to the bio-physiological theoretical position regarding retinal summation of the subliminal and supraliminal stimuli. The subliminal stimulus (39) was not sufficiently strong enough to allow an electrical charge to cross the synapse between neurons; however, it did allow a chemical change allowing the next supraliminal stimulus (numbers 30, 36, 41, and 46, respectively) to cross the synapse. The retinal summation of the subliminal and supraliminal stimuli stored in the retina, mixed, and they both influenced the experimental Students performance.
With regard to the review of literature considering the psychoanalytic theoretical position,
the findings suggest that as the experimental Students were consciously perceiving the projected supraliminal numbers, they were unconsciously perceiving the number 39 and both numbers were registered in different parts of the brain - the former in the conscious; the latter in the unconscious or subconscious.
With reference to randomly writing down any number from 30-50, the subliminal number of 39, whether in the unconscious or subconscious did influence the performance of the Students selections.

Adrian,

Could you make links available for your subscribers to past issues of the newsletter?  I have Abyss and would like very much to read your article on its' usage.  I'm just not quite sure what to do with it.

"Adrian listed ways to use the Abyss is the latest issue of the Ultimate Reality newsletter. If you provide your email address, I can forward it to you.."

I'm confused about the effectiveness of subliminals, and about the relative merits of the different brain entrainment techniques available.  I came across some information which I am including below from a website selling a softward package different than Mind Power Studio, and it basically says that subliminal messages are not very effective if at all.  They also do not employ binaurals in some of their entrainments.  Using headphones is problematic for me, and I am wondering about others' experiences with brain entrainment using pulse beats or even more "old fashioned" ways like using drummng.  I'd like to hear Adran's comments on subliminals and binaurals versus other entrainment methods, as well as anyone else's comments.
Thanks.
here's what I got at another site-

..."The Myth of Subliminal Messages," which explains them in more detail. Here is an excerpt:

"It all seems to have started with a 1957 marketing agent named James Vicary, who claimed to have increased popcorn sales by 58% and Coke sales by 18% in a New Jersey movie theater by flashing the messages "Drink Coca-Cola" and "Hungry - Eat Popcorn." Although it was later admitted by Vicary to be a fabricated study, this hoax is to this day still mentioned as proof of the effectiveness of subliminal messages. You can find it mentioned in subliminal message products all over the world, including numerous computer applications, even though nobody has ever reproduced the results claimed by Mr. Vicary.

The belief in subliminal messages probably reached its peak in 1974 when the FCC banned subliminal messages from advertising, probably more as a response to public paranoia than anything else. One survey showed that 68% of the public believed in subliminal messages.

The January 1991 issue of the University of California, Berkeley, noted that double blind tests have consistently shown that subliminal tapes fail to produce their claimed effects. There is also no evidence that subliminal messages actually affect behavior. In a separate study, Timothy E. Moore showed that subliminal tapes didn't even meet the minimal criteria for perception. He concluded that it is highly unlikely that they have any effect at all, much less a significant effect on behavior or thought patterns. [Glendon College, York University. Subliminal Self-help Auditory Tapes: An Empirical Test of Perceptual Consequences.]"

Hi jm

I think as with everything else in our world if you believe it will happen it will.

If you buy a subliminal program thinking of the negative reviews or ideas you may have read it is very possible it will not work for you, although it may have very positive results for a buyer who went in believing it will work.

Also remember for every negative review there is a positive one- law of polarity or similar I believe.

I bought Mind Power Studio- I already have three similar programs on my computer but never use them because they have never given me any results I can perceive- I bought MPS out of curiosity and because I like what Adrian teaches, I did not have huge expectations because of previous experiences, however although I am only using the text message part of it, I cannot report miracles, but I can report definate positive improvements.

Maybe because I had some positive feelings about it (e.g Adrian- and I believed it may work) and then just basically forgot about it?)

I don't know. But if you are thinking about buying it, or really anything else you may buy that is downloadable on the internet there is usually a very good trial period in which you can find out if it works for you, and if not, one may request a refund.
So as long as the funds are available at the time, my motto is go for it- give it the time period suggested and if it does not not work for you use the money back guarantee which is given in absolute good faith for those people who may not experience the desired results.
