The java program / software flashes the affirmation faster then your ability to read it but on a brain level it registers the affirmation anyway even if you don't have the ability to actually pause and read the affirmation while it blinks at a random spot. Its like walking past a dollar coin and not noticing it. Your brain STILL registers the dollar coin even if you only saw it for a very short moment. Another way of looking at it. Our brains register 100's of frames per 1 second on a computer screen. Our brains register all of those 100's of frames even if we only see 1 flat picture. If even only 1 of those frames had a message on it in the form of an affirmation your brain still in the end activated processes in the brain same as actually reading that same exact statement. The idea is that the brain goes through the same processes in the brain with the information when it blinks as to when actually reading it. Steve G Jones has a neurological study that proved it on a larger level in terms of scientifically proving the existence of the subliminal flashing phenomenon.
