This is a good thread!! I've always been facinated with the subliminal.

It's only lately that I've really begun to understand that the real weakness is emotion. When we become emotionally engaged in something, we unleash a hidden powerhouse of passion. That's why some people do exceptionally well at jobs and others don't. Some fall into the perfect role and become emotionally engaged in what they are doing while others struggle to get up each morning.

Every purchase you make is done so with an emotional motivation. You want to look good, feel good or gain an advantage. And if you consider this fact, sex is one of the most powerful emotional connections. The only one possibly more powerful - because human nature is most responsive to avoidance of pain - is the avoidance of the negative. But if you want to lead people, toss out that positive emotional connection and people will follow - with serious buy-in of their own. And that is the perfect environment for motivation.

So I go back to my original point: the weakness is our need to fullfill an emotion.
