What the process of the mind's basic associations have to do with subliminal messages

The mind associates certain images and thoughts with feelings and sounds. Any particular combination, particularly when greater emotions are involved, stimulate greater significance to memory, and has a greater impact on your neural nets and identity. Subliminal messages are merely an attempt to associate into your memory banks certain things without you having to consciously come to any sort of conclusions yourself. Your mind has to be perfectly capable of learning in this manner otherwise you would be unable to construct the complex set of neuro-associative combinations and connections required to build the representational system known as "language" to represent meaning in a way that allows communication. Having to have consciously learned language as a child would have been incredibly difficult, especially since awareness largely has to do with a set of information and data points to refer to in assessing where you are and what you are doing and what you are thinking and how to react in a given situation. Without the ability to communicate and associate it would be incredibly difficult to learn without an entirely different processing system than the conscious mind... But, although the typical tendency is for the brain to become less malleable as you age and learn more and rely on representational systems and memory to think rather than creating a whole new structure of associations and recognizing patterns, the process still very much exists and can be manipulated intentionally or not.

Humans must possess the ability to learn. Take for example learning to not touch a hot stove. They need to associate their fear of loud noises and screams and the word "No!" with danger as well as the memory must be associated pain or fear so that they avoid doing it again. Association must exist[1] and thus, that process must also be capable of what we learn, and how we construct our brain's ability to process data and what thoughts and emotions it comes up with regarding certain actions and behaviors. So when people talk about "subliminal messages", "hypnosis" "hypnotic programming" Mind manipulation" and how the television "program" is in fact a "program" for the mind, they really aren't explaining it in a way that people can really identify with since it's already such a natural and normal process while those terms sound so radical, crazy, and unnatural to the learning process. In reality, it's often just branching off learned neuroassociative behavior that the human mind tends to rely on in the first place.

The fact is that any mental manipulation technique merely uses what the brain already is capable of and has demonstrated countless times by the nature of how it operates over the course of a lifetime. So of course people don't "feel" like they are being "programmed" or "manipulated" it is something people would have experienced every day in one form or another regardless of whether or not this manipulation exists. It is not that these techniques "cause" your mind to behave differently, instead, it is just manipulating what input your mind receives, and as a result, effects the output by the natural process that your mind interprets the information it takes in.

The terms many use to describe the process sound so radical to so many that you are better off without using them at all. Those that use terms like "subliminal messages", "mind control", "covert mind manipulation", etc sounds like exactly the type of term that gets lumped in with the type of term used by the [crazy] "conspiracy theorists" which in the mind of the public tends to be this radical, insane fanatical group of emotionally and psychologically unstable individuals, and/or media sensationalists looking for attention. And in many ways, perhaps rightly so.

One cannot read chinesee to people that do not know the language and expect them to understand and to try to do so to someone you know doesn't speak the language is insane. In other words, trying to describe this process to people in a way without giving them the tools to understand what you are really saying isn't doing them any favors. For even if you do convince them, they have attached their understanding of the world to an external source, rather than their own inquisitiveness and reflection of things they know to be true and can derive an understanding from on their own and from observing the world around them.

Many people who profess to be "awake", are instead just manipulated by an alternative group of the sensationalist conspiracy theories and are not truly learning from their understandings of reality, but instead are either accepting or rejecting information, operating out of fear, and being influenced to be "sheep" that merely have decided to follow another shepherd, while professing that it's everyone else that is the "sheep". Both groups are headed to different slaughterhouses so to speak, and choosing to reverse direction and go in one or another is pointless. If you cannot learn to think for yourself, by yourself independent of information, you are not really "free". Merely having someone point you to one set of information rather than another has not liberated you in any way and they do not deserve your energy one bit. Certainly nor do cheap media ploys, fake "beef" between celebrities and controversies that are as staged as wrestling along with their side stories.

But I digress. Advertisers still spend billions on commercials, so the techniques that are used by them, must have at least some effect on your mind or they wouldn't use them. I mean everyone and their mother has already seen so many superbowl commercials advertising for the same 3 companies (among others) over and over again. Yet they continue year after year to advertise. You really think they are going to just make millions off of making maybe a few hundred extra people "aware" of their product that didn't already know about it when their product is low margin to begin with? Yes they might do so, but they also might remind people to buy products, and more importantly, continue to reframe your beliefs and pre-existing associations to get you to associate pleasure with their product, and pain with the alternative.

But it's more than that, they can kill two birds with one stone as a part of greater manipulation as well, many times the intend is veiled to the extremely limited few. Regardless, subliminal messages are just hijacking the brains natural process of association and learning to get you to "learn" or "conclude" certain things on our own as they want, but usually not immediately, and not directly.  The combined bombardment of associations on a daily basis combined with the "communion" of many other individuals who have been exposed to similar associations which will act to reinforce those beliefs (think of kids in junior high/middle school kids trying to fit in with the perceived "cool" paradigm and aligning themselves with similar beliefs, thoughts, ideas, and actions and even how they present themselves). Combine this with learning over many mediums over a long period of time and it's only a manner of time before you develop habits and patterns consistent with the consumptionism they intend on projecting you into, it is only a matter of time and "which product" and personality type / projected archetype you most align yourself with.


Clarification:
[1]I do not mean this is the only way one can operate, it is just how humans are wired and how they tend to use what they work with. Consciously learned association and memory need not be used if one has instinctual understanding which can use memories, but need not do so. Technically we can still have instinct on par with animals as opposed to associative memory, but the human mind behaves differently at times, and must simultaneously be able to abort past neural associations and just react (such as running, slamming on breaks, or avoiding a threat without thinking about how they are going to do so) as well as use the associative memory to avoid dangerous circumstances to begin with. Animals are more in tune with external cues that they can resonate with so they need not rely upon memory to travel from Mexico to Canada and on back like many flying species such as birds and insects.

"Enlightenment" and Increased Intelligence Through Sleep Paralysis?

I have recently been thinking about the movie metaphors, particularly in movies I have seen lately. Is there some way to "wake up" so to speak? Is there some way to "see" outside of one's self, or at least perceive with NO filters?

According to something I once read, consciously you process only around 2000 bits of data, but subconsciously closer to 2million. If you had to consciously remind yourself to feel need for air if you didn't breath long enough and remind yourself to breath, forgetting would be fatal and temporary amnesia would kill you. You need conscious processing to be separate from a lot of autonomic tasks. But your brain is limited in overall processing power, not just conscious processing power. Some estimate that evolution is limited only by bloodflow and that processing power in the brain would be much more capable if it got more oxygen via bloodflow to the brain. Well, there are some "hacks" towards superior intelligence that a lot of geniuses used to do some form of. Geniuses are inspired in a dream or dream like state, or through solitude. Basically, as you begin to fall asleep, not only does your mind enter an altered state, but your body starts to get reduced bloodflow. This is part of "sleep paralysis" that is naturally designed to prevent you from acting out your dream and putting yourself in danger. The bloodflow is then concentrated among your vital organs and your brain. As a result,you may be capable of more complex thought. Certainly many have had the experience where they have a dream where they solve a major problem that was bugging them or come to some stunning realization or perhaps notice something they hadn't thought of before? Well it may be that it is the increased bloodflow and/or altered state that increases ability to connect with one's creativity and intelligence. Certain "hacks" to this involve meditating (being completely still until body falls asleep even as mind remains alert), "nano napping", falling asleep with an alarm clock and then falling asleep again and again with an alarm clock that can stimulate lucid dreaming or waking sleep paralysis (and astral traveling) and even get you into that as a habit. Or "falling asleep on a chair with ball bearings in hand and a wood floor where the sound wakes you up immediately and you immediately write down the ideas that come to you" (Edison did this). Or cross legged sitting up as many monks do while meditating. Einstein and Beethoven and Mozart all mentioned their greatest ideas/symphonies came to them in a dream state, and Einstein would day dream as well as take frequent cat naps.

So perhaps the vivid dreams that are at times more real than real life and allow me greater insight, can help me understand things that consciously my brain filters out. Perhaps I can interact with my subconscious through lucid dreaming to find some of these answers. Solitude, sleep paralysis hacks, and such probably stimulates some of the same concepts of sitting still and thinking with zero distractions that may exist in dream. People likely will sit relatively still and as a result essentially are at least getting to the point where their legs start to fall asleep and mental clarity is brought forth.

I don't really know if in my path I have completely found all of the answers, but I certainly have enjoyed all that I have learned so far, and have the ability to enhance my thought power. I'm starting to also think that there may be cues you can detect provided through forms in a different state of consciousness than you (e.g. mammals,birds,etc) by entering solitude against a tree cross-legged and barefooted (supposedly discharges excess or ionized electrons and "grounds" you and "neutralizes" your energy into more natural state. I have no idea if this is true), while entering sleep paralysis. Then you can begin watching their movement and relating to their perspective and reflecting upon it. At the very least several forms of technology have been constructed that mimic animals and natures own design, and you may be able to draw metaphors based upon what you observe to solve some sort of problem. Either way, the increased stimulus without it being distracting or implanting suggestions such as watching TV or being around humans may be beneficial in keeping the mind away while the body sleeps and may help you access more active parts of the mind (beta) due to the stimulation and movement you can observe while in this state, as well as perhaps elements of a creative side (theta) from being in tune with the earth's natural frequency. Maybe this is conjecture and crazy, but it won't hurt you much to try it and certainly the vitamin D you get from the sun and tan you might get may be beneficial from being outside as well.

I can confirm that I personally have solved problems much more efficiently after sitting crosslegged in the dark at home at night in a state of sleep paralysis, and this mental clarity hits me after awhile... There also is a personal feeling I get from being outside that is unique. So, you should give it a try, shouldn't you?

More Matrix Metaphors:Defining Mr. Smith In The Matrix, and Explaining why The Betrayal of Tank by Cypher.

Cypher betrays Tank in the Matrix movie. You could also say he betrayed Morpheus or Neo or Trinity by killing Tank. Judas was said to have betrayed Jesus in one of the most infamous betrayals in written history. The Matrix betrayal is partially a metaphor for the betrayal of christ as you get deep enough in the movie and connected enough you wil understand.

Initially I did not understand this, I really had to ask myself "why betrayal has to occur in either of these cases, or in general?" And then I could derive the answer internally.

Well, the matrix represents the associations and "construct" (or constructs) that have been made as a result of circumstance rather than choice. Once you learn how to recreate your associations, you have to recognize that the mind is a representational system. And if you are to completely "free" yourself of past associations, that means something is going to have to happen to disassociate even those incredibly close to you, so you can re-associate with the source of love which animates everything and THEN you can forgive and move on. Even though as you will understand later that "love" transcends "causality", as Neo could transcend not only the matrix but the world outside of the matrix by using his power to stop the ships after him. When you have lived almost your whole life guided by causality and circumstance rather than taking control yourself, you will have to break free of past connections with it in order for the concept to truly represent truth. That is why Jesus had to be betrayed by Judas and ultimately sacrifice the physical body to break down everything that seems to be and be reborn as one with spirit and truly become that angelic "godlike" being. Similarly, Neo is "the one" and he is "the one" that must ultimately discover true freedom and lead and teach others to achieve this level of freedom to ultimately control his own destiny without having to manipulate or interfere with others to do it. Cypher had a deal with "Mr. Smith".
Now the Mr. Smith metaphor on it's own is very interesting. "anyone can become an agent at any given time" This means it is hardly Cypher's fault as Mr. Smith was fa more powerful. What Cypher failed to realize was how that would potentially not only be his own undoing but everyone else's and  the death of all freedom. He also couldn't see that "The One" through love and the spirit will overcome all. Well, Mr. Smith is an agent of/for what? Change? If so, what kind of change? A chemical agent? To What Ends? A government agent? There may be many meanings here.

"Agent" can be defined as
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/agent
1:  one that acts or exerts power

2a :  something that produces or is capable of producing an effect :  an active or efficient cause

2b :  a chemically, physically, or biologically active principle

3:  a means or instrument by which a guiding intelligence achieves a result

4:  one who is authorized to act for or in the place of another: as

     a :  a representative, emissary, or official of a government <crown agent> <federal agent>

     b :  one engaged in undercover activities (as espionage) :  spy <secret agent>

c :  a business representative (as of an athlete or entertainer) <a theatrical agent>

5:  a computer application designed to automate certain tasks (as gathering information online)

Since this particular agent / set of agents are trying to uphold the status quo and keep everyone asleep we can certainly say they are exerting power, but can also say they are:
1)representative of a "government agent" such as member of the NSA.
2)A "sociological agent" (social engineer)  to bring about change.
3)Since Matrix is a computer metaphor, the 5th definition may apply as it may be a computer application designed to automate tasks, which in this case is to keep everyone "automated" like robots or computers and prevent any independent thought that may transform the program. This is perhaps why synchronistically the same actor who played Mr. Smith also in X Files described the humans as a disease as they are the only species that kill for sport and wage wars (not entirely true. Little does he know or explain that it is only because of manipulation that they wage war on themselves and such, and the manipulation done on the previously healthy cell is the sickness, not the individuals that have been used against themselves as victims of this manipulation)
4)"Chemical agent" to bring about the chemicals in the brain conducive to manipulation and influence, which could be external or internal representation. i.e. Neo is fighting his own emotional associations in the mind and conditioning brought upon the chemicals in the food and consumption in the matrix.
5)A biological agent that produces and emits toxins into the mind and is a poisonous toxin that destroys.
6)The cause to bring about a means to the end results which is a more complicated definition and explanation, but could refer to Mr. Smith being a necessary component to making Neo see what must be done.

I appreciate the ambiguity and multiple meanings here and I would tend to view Mr. Smith as an "agent" as something that has multiple meanings and the whole movie has multiple metaphors all of which can be congruent with one meaning or another or sometimes multiple that can be defined here. The Matrix "trilogy" is one of the deepest philosophical and spiritual movies I know. (Combine Matrix Trilogy with the name "Trinity" and Neo falling in love with Trinity" and the 3 as a spiritual number, and those with "open eyes" can probably see several meaning there as well). Just as in the nickname Neo can mean "new". As Neo worked in Meta Cortex, and Meta meaning change can be combined with Neo to signify the "new change" or transformation Neo must undergo. Or it can be interpreted as NeoCortex the part of the mind responsible for learning.  Employed as a "hacker" Neo can "hack" or rewire his own brain, hence why he was one of few to transform and "see past" the charade of the matrix with a little help, and part of the ingredients needed for him to become "the one", or "oneness consciousness". The same multi-meaning language here applies to Mr. Smith.

There are duel meanings that only occasionally apply, but if we were to narrow this down to the most important one, we can certainly eliminate the actual government agents. Afterall, "at ANY given time anyone can become one". Well I suppose anyone could "sign up", but not in the way it is expressed in the movie. I don't think that is the message. Instead, I think that represents people becoming exactly alike. Dressing alike, responding alike, sounding the same. Although they may be "agents of change" they are also creating change through this sickness by being manipulated and having their own individuality destroyed. You have all the clones of Mr. Smith that are essentially duplicates. In other words, the system can get everyone else turned against each other after crushing their individuality. The black suit&tie covers the heart, symbolic of what has to happen to the person in order for them to become this kind of "agent", they must have their love darkened, and be stuck in the "black/white duality" or binary/linear thinking limited to a conscious mind who is a slave to his subconscious. The agent actually jumps INTO the person through their heart and upper torso area and then they morph from there and turn into the agent. The binding of energy only after the darkening of the heart and sickening of the stomach takes place.

Conversely, Neo often fights wearing a T-shirt that is all white to give the look of "one" who is healed from the black/white ying/yang paradigm, and has almost an angelic look. After being transformed his "black" head was shaved to also represent a monk like look, i.e. someone who will enter the path to become one with themselves or this oneness consciousness.

See the dark energy of Mr. Smith also appears to be a different "oneness" that is a clone of everything, where as the Neo achieving oneness taps into something more powerful and pure without losing his individuality.

I personally identify Mr. Smith as the death of individuality which is why they transform into looking alike, talking alike, etc. I don't think sticking with just one translation is the right way to go about it, but if I were to pick one, I'd probably go with either 3 above, the people are merely pawns to be automated and robotic/computer like.

Hypnotic inference and hypnotic language

Audio manipulation is about far more then audio subliminal messages. What is "subliminal" is not just the volume, but the meaning behind the words which you may not immediately consciously understand, or the duel meaning behind the words in which you don't immediately understand. It can be quiet enough that you can hear noise but can't understand what they're saying. It can be metaphors and such. It can be words anchoring emotions to intentionally manipulate your emotions in the future by using that same word. It can even be in using simple analogies and metaphors that everyone understands to alter your perception by how it is described. Describing a rich man as a "generous philanthropist employing millions of people" or a "wall street fat cat exploiter" may convey entirely different meanings, and cause you to infer entirely different things about that person, even though it may be about the same person.  Survey's for example have shown what extreme biases people may have in answering questions depending upon how you describe a person or event.

More complex double meanings may intentionally infer certain things that you may be aware of such as in particular "innuendo". Other meanings may be far more covert and may be used multiple ways with the knowledge of the responses it creates and the associations it implants. Visual anchors may accompany words, and words that sound alike can be used in place so suggestions may be given covertly. Phrases may be expressed intentionally to manipulate and embed a command or suggestion within a sentence talking about something entirely different. You need not be in a trance for these techniques to work

For example:
"You, like me, understand the value of a good deal, don't you?"
That one sentence/question is absolutely loaded with multiple meanings and influential speak.
That has just suggested that you appreciate a good deal and prepares you to avoid the conflict if a deal is offered. If they later get you through other manipulation to suggest that something would be a good deal, and they ask you to buy it, you already have the preconceived association that you appreciate a good deal and that this is one, so your conscious mind believes it is only logical to buy it.  It also phrases the sentence in telling you what to think, and then creating conflict if you disagree by presuming that you do, then asking you after it's already been assumed, if you do. That's like saying, "assuming you like a good deal, you would find that enjoyable". But they get you to agree and already COMMIT to what they have suggested, before you even give it much thought.

You also have to recognize the initial way it is phrased. "You, like me," Your subconscious will interpret that in numerous ways, including "you like me" or the command/suggestion "you like me" and even "you and me are alike" and store for later associations. But you have just agreed to appreciating the deal (after they already were so presumptive to implant that agreement, and state so vaguely that it has to be true since a good deal is in fact something of value), so by doing so, subconsciously, you have agreed to like the person. The manipulator has already suggested so and you agreed, so to do anything in conflict with that would effect the limbic system as if you are lieing. It is already practically ingrained in you as if it is a belief simply by manipulative word play.

It also implies that you and me are alike and we both understand, therefore whatever I suggest is also what you want...  When they come back later and say "do we have an understanding?" after saying "this is a good deal, right? Then they say great, write the check to this, or pay this amount for it, or whatever it is, you have already agreed you have an understanding, so anything they suggest assumes you agree to it... since afterall, first they implant the idea you have an understanding and covertly manipulate you to agree to having an understanding, THEN they ask you directly if you do once it seems you have all but said you do on ONE subject, (but in the way it is stated is vague it could be interpreted multiple ways) then they presume, since you have an understanding with me, and I am taking that to be interpreted as whatever I choose, you practically have to agree, and to not agree would cause unnecessary stress upon yourself since you already HAVE agreed subconsciously whether you realized it or not.

You can interchange any duel meaning any word may have, and you may substitute out words in that phrase to look at alternate meanings that your subconscious takes. Otherwise, how could you distinguish in a conversation where someone interrupts, talks with someone else and then finishes what they were saying Your subconscious takes every meaning it can and then directly consciously makes you aware of the most likely one, while keeping aware of other possibilities. When those other possibilities are suddenly brought back up, the meaning of what you said yes to changes as needed. Thus "You, like me, understand the value of a good deal, don't you?" can be interpreted as "you understand", "you like understand(ing)","you value a deal", "me value you" "me understand you" and many others that don't even have to be in order. The phrase "good deal" can be interpreted as "go deal", God heal", "Goad Dee Eel", Goodie Eel and many others which can then in turn connect to symbolism which can have various meaning depending upon the individual. All of this other stuff will probably remain subconscious for the entire conversation and beyond, but it does create associations that combined with enough influence over your symbolism and all other mental inputs can connect to eventually influence how ideals and beliefs are formed about any and every possible translation. A better example would be the word "train" which has more ambiguity, particularly in vague context. Train can be seen as "train" as in training or conditioning, as in preparation, as in the vehicle ("choo-choo train"). Or it could be heard as to rain, Two rain, Too rain, tour rain, two reign, etc. eins (german for one) Tour eins, to ray eins, torrey, 'n. To ray, 'n or terrain. The intent is what determines the meaning, but if the intent is intentionally vague, it can be used to manipulate, and you have to learn to see this. Combine that with multiple sounds which could be combined together to sound like entirely different word groups. The way people speak with many different types of accents and intent can convince the mind they said something entirely differently, but if you realize somehow that they are talking about something else, your subconscious can immediately go back and change the meaning and immediately everything clicks in a few seconds and a conclusion can be made and the confusion can be resolved. But the information remains there of all alternate versions of understanding, and all are taken in to create subtle associations.

This was an extremely small set of examples that I intuitively know in an instant when I am "in tune", yet look how long it took to describe? And I still haven't been able to integrate this knowledge into the understanding of how it relates to the neural associations of the mind that are made and how it influences everything to keep you responding to what "they" want you to learn, rather than learning what was intended by the creator. The best metaphor to understanding this that I've come across is the "scalar reality" of the atoms, molecules, cells, etc so that you recognize that the cells are a part of something larger. If the cells tried to harm other cells, they'd be damaging the body which heals them and sustains them. In the same sense, because of the way the finite is connected with the infinite, the individuals try to fight with or manipulate or allow themselves to be manipulated by this energy is destroying that which sustains itself... You may not fully understand, but you will see that tempting others or being tempted was not your fault. Manipulation on either side was not your fault. That does not absolve you of responsibility to try to heal going forward, but it does mean you are forgiven for you know not what you did and it was not your fault, so feel no shame for what is in the past. You did the best you could with what you had, now it is time to heal and move forward and empower yourself.

You are going to have to at some point learn to connect and identify with this stuff immediately because there is just far too much to have to explain for me to be able to do so on my own. And once you fully understand in your own unique way, you too, will go about and want to get this message across. Once you learn to see it, you will scoff at the manipulation rather than allow the joke to cause you to release serotonin and dopamine and link the feeling of pleasure to the joke and whatever context they put it in. You will see it coming from a mile away.

Audio Subliminals

There are various "illusions" using audio as well. There is one where you are not really hearing things right as they sound like the pitch is constantly decreasing that can be found on wikipedia under auditory illusions.

There also is the misheard lyrics illusion where you hear one thing and can hear another (pour some shook-up Ramen commercial instead of "pour some sugar on me" as an example).

But then there are subliminal audio where the volume of it is such that you cannot hear it, or just barely can hear it and it is saying things you perhaps can't consciously understood.
Just like audio, this information if loud enough for the subconscious to hear it, or loud enough for you to consciously hear it but because of noise over it you can't make out consciously what it is saying) is still stored in the memory banks for association.

It's not just what the subliminals are saying, but also how you feel while you hear that music. If the music makes you associate whatever is being said with pleasure, you associate pleasure with it. If whatever you hear makes you feel bad or pain, then you associate what is being said with pain. As such, your mind will associate pleasure with certain things and pain with another, and over time will naturally have an inclination to move towards that which you have associated with pleasure, and away with that which you have associated with pain.

This doesn't even have to be subconscious to work, but the technique is something many are unaware of. For example, there may be scary eerie "twilight zone" music" associated with whatever they are talking about on TV when they talk about a particular topic. They may discuss conspiracy theories and have that music and you might feel uncomfortable enough to naturally have a discomfort with that particular subject. I don't consider this "mind-control" by traditional definitions, just "subconscious or conscious" learning that over enough reinforcements will create an identity and a belief system and a paradigm around it, but I don't blame people for calling it that, since the end results is manipulating associations in your mind that eventually distort the thoughts, ideas, and even beliefs you come up with. I think such a term is one that doesn't have as much credibility and a lot of people will immediately be turned off from listening to what you have to say if you try to tell them "mind control exists and it's everywhere!!!" That's also a good way to get laughs and/or sent to an insane asylum. If you instead talk about subconsciously created associations that tend to have an influence on how the brain wires and how learning develops, and you have an informed discussion about it, it sounds much more "normal" as opposed to just looking like a paranoid loon. That just goes to show you the effect that audio and changing the way you say things has on people's perceptions.

If we want to live beyond what other people have programmed for us, or "taught" us, we need to separate how we feel about something and how it stands up to a full examination of the facts. At the same time there is a very difficult balance between that and not seeing things naturally and independent. See that is a form of structure to see things for what they appear logically, and if you see things intuitively it may be more correct at times and may be able to take in experiences in which you aren't consciously aware of. The trouble comes when those things are not congruent with reality, since you are mostly going to still be using "memory" to access it subconsciously. So you need to connect to something larger that can draw upon your memories and experiences as well as the nature around you that is not yet corrupted and give you information that you can use to derive understanding from.

Audio subliminal and associations are nearly as powerful as the visual kind, and to some, audio influence via the mind's natural process to learn may be more powerful, depending on how they learn best. Even though Audio is said to be less effective than visual, I actually think that auditory influence can have more immediate effects. The mind may think in picture, but it already has so many built in associations connecting words to pictures because of how and what people are taught when they're young that you really can speed up the process substantially and influence the pictures that are made in someone's mind.

Audio and visual input will ALWAYS influence you. If it did not, a mother would not react to a baby crying her awake, a man would not defend his family instinctively and protect them after hearing a loud roar or threatening noise, and people would not react to and get any satisfaction out of music and the music industry would not be as big as it is, AM/FM radio wouldn't exist any longer in cars, and movies and TV would be just as entertaining without sound and without background music. Yet for some strange reason (well, it's because that's how people are conditioned and they are so ego centric that they will always think they are in charge of their own thoughts and every thought they had would have existed independent of everything around them), people seem to look at you as if you're nuts if you suggest that the words in a movie, the music in the movie and the sounds made can influence your mind's basic process of learning. But how can you have a thought at all if you aren't drawing upon words you have heard and grown to understand, associations you have made and stimulus in the mind that connects feelings and thoughts with certain sounds, things, objects, etc.

Whether it's a moving speech that uses words that stimulate emotion, or whether it's hearing a loud siren and influences you to avoid that noise or pull over if it's behind you. Or perhaps it's simply memorizing a certain saying to help you remember what has been taught. Ultimately the things we grow to like and dislike have everything to do with association and the mind's natural process to subconsciously seek to find pleasure and avoid pain and protect those we are connected with (usually at a minimum, close family).


So much of what we know or grow to learn is a result of something we have seen or heard. Other senses, particularly emotions/feeling are significant, but there is a strong overlap with those emotions and sight/sound, in addition to many of those emotions are already preconditioned by concept via certain words or descriptions, or perhaps those sounds will stimulate certain visual representations.
For example, if I ask you what color is your car, you can answer it, because at some point you made the memory of your car. If I ask you which way your door lock turns to lock it, you can imagine closing it clockwise. That is visual representation that can be stimulated by words. But certain visual representations have strong emotions associated with them, particularly those in which you have had a traumatic experience with.

If you imagine having just finished running a long race and being on your way home. You run into someone attractive and you are asked to walk her to her car (or him) and you do but on the way you cross by a dark ally and you hear a snarl and out of nowhere comes a 15 foot tiger with sharp teeth growling out as he slowly sneaks up on as you turn around you see him crouching like he is getting ready to strike and he starts to pounce you probably could notice at some point that your heart rate increased. Hearing the voice describe the event may also have more of an effect than seeing the words, and certainly actually seeing a movie in a movie theatre with surround sound filmed as in first person could make your heartrate increase.

Everything from imagining running to imagining someone you are attracted to, to seeing a stressful or dangerous situation unfold all are things that if you imagined them vividly enough will increase your heart rate because your subconscious believes that imagination or image to be real. Here we have your eyes seeing representations of words via letters on the screen, your voice reading the words on the screen outloud and you making a picture based upon those words in your head, and a feeling associated with that. This is why many people read books because of the emotional influence it has just in the same way people watch movies or TV shows because of the ability these shows have to influence your emotions.

The point is, much of our senses are linked and capable of producing emotion based upon the other.
It is this link that creates "learning" in the sense that your mind is creating associations that place a more specific point in time and space with events surrounding it. The more powerful the emotion the more significant the memory may appear. I bet just about everyone in America remembers where they were on September 11th 2001.

But September 5th 1998? Or August 3rd 2005? Probably not so much unless that is a friend or families birthday or significant date to you personally. Emotions influence the SIGNIFICANCE of memory.

This is why certain lyrics can be memorized more easily than others. It doesn't take me many times of listening to Eminem's hate filled music and clearly articulated lyrics with loud base thumping for me to be able to recite every single word without even trying. For others, they may have more of a connection emotionally with other songs. Nevertheless, you need to know the effect audio can have on you, and how the process of learning and communicating synchronistically with the larger mind is hijacked through manipulation and audio manipulation (and visual) by those trying to control who are separated from the awareness of the infinitesimally small and infinitely big and awareness and connection to this.

At some point I will get into examples, but whether they are subliminal whispers, metaphorical usage of words, duel meanings and innuendo, subliminal/covert suggestion and hypnotic language or simply leveraging the fear of loud noises to control your fight or flight response, I assure you the sounds you hear effect your brain chemistry which in turn influences the associations you create when it comes to certain audio and meaning you project to certain things, words, concepts, ideas, etc.
