Brainwashin [|g and Subliminal Messaging:]
[|__http://www.redicecreations.com/specialreports/brainwash.html__] Another way to brainwash, and probably the most successful way, is subliminal brainwashing. There is a part in the brain where it can pick up images that maybe you cannot see, but your brain can see. Before it became illegal to use subliminal messages, movie theaters would flash a quick image saying to drink soda and eat popcorn. Your brain can see it even though you can’t, and this message will make it more likely for you to buy a soda or popcorn. Without a doubt it is the most useful, because its impossible to notice and is so powerful because it affects a weak area in your brain, making you susceptible to change.
