Mind Power Studio?

[dwhite]

Mind Power Studio.
Has anyone ordered this yet or tried the suite?  I am on the fence. The web page seems to focus a lot on wealth and weight loss. Two things that many people are looking for. I realize that is the sales pitch because that stuff works but it still kind of turns me off.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks

Well I've been trying it for a day now and I have to say, I feel happier
Also I made a track to help me with ap and I was totally relaxed when I tried to project. I will see today if if will help me project. Its really weird cause the text flashing on your screen doesn't go away the sec you look away from your screen. I also catch myself thinking the affirmations.
Can't say much now since I'm only dooing it for a day.

Of course, any sales pitch that offers a solution to so many things is suspect. Any sales pitch is suspect - but the software here has a lot of functionality I'm looking for as far as entrainment goes (and I have a suspicion when it comes to entrainment, not every brain is the same, so you need something a little more customized). I'm pretty impressed by the functionality. I wish there was a 10-day demo or something, a shareware version so I could give it a try. Definitely interested, though.

How does it works, briefly..
Does it flases txt on your screen ,makes a sound..
Maybe i could write something similar on my own..?
Desktop drawing is very simple delphi/bcbuilder

[EDIT]..just took a look, it just seems like it has throw together from various applications, like:
The audio mixing component of Audio Mind Power=Audacity(free sound editor) plugin, and i bet can be done without(generate binaural frequencies, mix with your music)...

I'm still skeptical about all this hypnosis, subliminal suggestion stuff.  I'm sure you can reach deep states of relaxation, but what about concentration? I've always thought it was a requisit for astral projection. This looks like it was created for someone who wants a quick fix with no mental effort on their part. I'll bet that consciously training your own thinking process has more benefits than forcing a thinking process subliminally. It may work to an extent, but you can also believe you're Elvis with subliminal suggestions.

It looks like a fine suite of programs to me ... and I suspect that 'yes' it is meant for people who want to do things the easy way.

If people want to make there own subliminal messages you can use Microsoft's GIF Animator (it's free) and make something like this...

(you can select the area in between the arrows to make viewing easier)

You can also use html to make subliminal messages like here ...

Or for subliminal audio tracks you can use Audacity from http://audacity.sourceforge.net also free. You can even make entrainment files with it OR get the free version of Brainwave Generator

BUT it will take people a while to set things up and learn how to set messages in the control bar or what not so if you don't want to deal with learning all of these things seperately then you can just purchase the Mind Power Studio.

All things considered it can save people a lot of time and it doesn't seem that expensive but there are certainly alternatives available for those who would rather save the money.

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your comments.

The main reason people fail to achieve their objectives in almost anything is because the logical, conscious, ego controlled mind always rationalises it and then dimisses it as nonsense or words to that effect.

This applies to everything including Astral projection for example. In order to achieve anything at all it is absolutely crucial that the subconscious mind accepts it first, because it is the subconscious mind that communicates with the superconscious Mind, the Universe, to bring it into your reality.

This is the objective of affirmations, and in particular subliminals which bypass the conscious Mind to work directly on the subconscious Mind, and in turn brings you into vibrational harmony with your desires.

We know for sure that subliminal suggestion is extremely powerful. We can demonstrate this for example by watching a TV show that is shown in the UK by a person known as "Derren Brown" who, uses subliminal suggestion throughout his show to cause his "subjects" to do as he needs to cause the audience to believe that he was able to predict the outcome of something.

In fact Derren Brown is working through the subconscious mind of his subjects and the reason he knows what they will say, write draw etc., is because instructed then to do it at a subconscious level by subliminal suggestion. He also has a visual subliminal, which works like my "Subliminal Mind Power" product flashing the word "forget" to the audience. When interviewed afterwards the audience could not remember anything about the show.

That message "forget" is only flashed a few times to work, Subliminal Mind Power flashes your affirmations once for very second you sit at your PC and at close range.

I think you can see how powerful that is.

The same applies to Mind Power Studio as a whole which has been designed and developed by myself for maximum effectiveness.

Best regards,

Adrian.

Hi Adrian,

Your right about what you said with by passing the clinical and analytical thinking.

In our hypnosis school we never use "forget" forget is more controlling, the subconscious doesn't like to be controlled we use the work "you wont remember" its more calmer and accepted to the subconscious.

We use "forget" for children but for adults we use "You won't remember".

Try it out that way.

Sincerely,
Frank (hypnotist1)

Hi Adrian

Everyone should check out Derren Brown... quite amazing.  Some of his effects are actually simple magic tricks (like when he "guesses" the contents of somebody's wallet - he obvioulsy pick-pocketed it before hand) but most of his effects are as you say are via suggestion.  His shows (if you get to see them) really do demonstrate the staggering power of suggestion....

Agreed. Someone with similar techniques to those employed by Derren filmed a series where each week they would look at one area of the occult and imitate it with such techniques. He did amazingly well at such things as channelling, mindreading, mediumanship etc. He seemed genuinely psychic, and very talented at that.
It wasn't until the last episode where he showed you how he did everything and explained his techniques that you found he had no psychic abilities (and didn't believe in the paranormal etc). He just used suggestion, and his readings of peoples minute body language changes along with a few props.
I can't remember the program off the top of my head, but it was on C4 (uk) a year or so ago. It was food for thought.

Yup agreed. Just about everything psychics can demonstrate, modern mentalists and magicians seem to be able to do too.  I have spotted a few exceptions though.  The jury is still out on Uri Geller as far as I'm concerned, but back in his hayday, magicians such as Randi claimed they could duplicate his feats.  Well I saw Randi and others "duplicating" Uri Geller quite a few times and their attempts were always pathetic and transparent, especially Randi's.  Uri is a master of this craft, whatever it is and is unmatched even today.

Derren is a brilliant example though of what can be achieved by modern psychological techniques.  I did see him attempt to duplicate "mediumship" by "cold reading" the audience (in a show he did in America).  Psychic "mediumship" is normally practised by the likes of John Edward, Colin Fry, Gordon Smith etc.  I'm pleased to say that Derren fell well short of Gordon Brown in his technique and results.  But in other psychological areas he was staggering...

Food for thought as you say...

I have some sort of perverse fascination with people such as Derren Brown.  

I went to see him about a year ago in Dartford, a town quite close to where he was born (Croydon).

He is a very likeable character and his show amazed me.  It was as if we didn't really own our minds.  The fact that he is so likeable is probably part of "it".

Although he didn't hypnotise the audience (in so much as making us forget the show), he did make the majority of us 'choose' a green triangle from two other colours/shapes on the stage, WITHIN 2 MINUTES OF US SITTING DOWN.  

During the second half of the show, he contacted the "dead" with use of a ouija board and all that jazz.  It was spookily real.  He claimed not to use stooges and if we are to believe him, then he has some talent/gift/power.  Of course, if he does use stooges, then he's crap.

But did you see him "convert" so called athiests to religion within the space of 5 minutes?  I mean, what was all THAT about?  I think it must have been hypnosis because he was able to de-convert them to athiests again once they had left the room.  Hmm, actually, that sounds like hypnosis to me - where's Frank (the hypnotist) when you need him....!  

But to be able to hypnotise a whole room within a short space of time - is that possible?  Just like 'hypnotising' a whole audience (say, 500 people) within half an hour that they will not remember anything about the show they have just seen - blimey.  That's frightening.

Yes I did see that particular feat and in fact I was thinking of it when I said "in other psychological areas he was staggering".  It was mind-blowing to see a room full of atheists and part-atheists convert so completely in a matter of minutes....  The guy is spooky.  We obviously saw the same TV program!  

Check out this book if you have time, its the "mentalism" bible.  It's an introductory text, but teaches the basic techniques used by people like Derren Brown.  I've dipped into it. Some of the techniques are simple but produce astounding results:

I'm sure Derren uses the techniques he claims, namely misdirection, suggestion, showmanship plus a few others (including sleight of hand) in addition to his high intelligence and photographic memory.  I'm sure he does use assistants behind the scenes but not stooges in the sense of actors pretending to be his victims...

A year or two ago there was a magician in vegas who said he was going to show everyone UFO's come down out of the sky on a certain date. He said it was gauranteed. A large group of people showed up and he tries one of those mass-hypnosis tricks, and takes them to a spot not far from the vegas airport. They were supposed to see planes landing on the strip and think were UFO's, but the hypnosis only worked on 2 or 3 people (I bet they looked like idiots).

I think in the long run all of this classifies as brainwashing - that's not too cool to me. That's why I don't like the subliminal suggestion stuff. Anyone ever heard of MKULTRA? Or "A Clockwork Orange"? Or even back in the early movie days where they would flash things like "You're Thirsty" super-fast so people would go buy a drink.

Now if the subconscious mind really works in this way, think about all the advertisments a person is bombarded with on a daily basis. You may not consciously "see" them, or think they matter to you. But the people in marketing know how your subconscious mind works. Like when a person watches NASCAR (not me!) and the car flys by really fast - they're consciously watching the car, but subconsciously seeing 50 commercials at once.

Now if you'll excuse me, I suddenly have the urge for a Coca-Cola.

[catmeow]

That's a funny story and pleasing to hear it was a failure!  Subliminal advertising is now illegal in the UK.  They used to flash a message spanning about 3 frames (1/10th second) with some advertising message.  But it's illegal now.  It does seem to work, though some people are MUCH more responsive to this than others.  

As a mechanism for bypassing the conscious (critical) mind though I think it's a very promising technique if used on consenting individuals.  I would certainly use it on myself, when I get round to it one day.  The trick is simply to get a suggestion past the conscious mind (ie past our "critical faculty").  Interestingly it's the arousal of our critical faculty whilst dreaming which gives rise to lucid dreams.

Is there a program available to Mac OS X that has similar capabilities as Mind Power Studio?
Suggestions? (-- Have found one UNIX-based utility called SBaGen, but have not gotten into it yet.)
