Interesting discussion guys. This topic is absolutely worth exploring.
This hypothesis and the ones along that train of thought sparked my interest. Can the subconscious really shut down receiving information or is it rather the conscious part that is acting like a selective filter based on familiarity? And what is the familiarity other than the realization that the 'new' stimulus is not threatening to you and thus ignorable? As far as I understand the subconscious mind, it is the part that's recording and monitoring everything and if something noteworthy (i.e. threatening, desirable) happens it'll bubble up into the conscious mind to react recheck and possibly act upon.
If this is correct, then the more exposure time to a stage the more the subconscious mind sees the programming of the subs as the expected reality. But nonetheless a constant change of input to the subconscious mind may yield stronger reactions and the overall six stages are more easily regarded as standard reality. Or it might lead to increased stress in the long run because the subconscious mind is forced into a permanent state of high alert to spot and cope with new large environmental changes and thus lead some kind of mental burn out. The latter happens when you jump around and listen to a different sub every other week.
Quote:Familiarity breeds contempt, once your subconscious has taken what it deems necessary it will shut off the stimuli of the subliminal, after change has occurred your subconscious is essentially bored of the mental overload the subliminal is introducing.
