I think another technique they use to make you suggestible is simply a flashing light.....I won't watch a tv program or commercial that flashes a light.....I actually cover my eyes if I detect the flashing. Even at church they started to flash a light occasionally during the singing and I told them to stop it because it was disturbing me. When I asked about it I think they joked that it was to get people to donate more, but they didn't know how to stop it. But they did stop it....at my request. I don't know what the flashing strobe light does but I think it interrupts your natural train of thought and so you become more suggestible. I would think also that it harder to learn something.....But this is one reason I never watch anything new on TV, The images come at you too fast and in too many directions to make any sense and along with the constant emotional manipulation with the music it's just too much work.
