Would you believe if you were told that your actions could
be controlled by simply listening to a song, looking at a picture or by simply
watching a video? As crazy and scary as it sounds, there have been a lot of
studies through the years on conveying messages in a covertly manner that we
are unaware of.
The Science
This is the field of subliminals, or properly called as the
process of subliminal messaging. These are messages that you can call as
‘secret messages’ or those that has hidden meanings. They are signals that are
hidden within another message so that your overt senses could not perceive them
a single bit.
It is said that even though your overt senses like vision,
and hearing can’t detect these messages, your subliminal mind however is able
to perceive them. That’s why you can be influenced by the message. In turn,
this results to actions that you do. However when you do these actions, it can
be in a conscious or unconscious level.
Branching From A Theory
The theory of having the conscious, subconscious and
unconscious mind was proposed by Sigmund Freud. According to him, our
consciousness is like an iceberg, where only ten percent is afloat the water
and the rest is deeply below the water. The conscious part is the only one
afloat and the subconscious is the level in between the conscious and
unconscious mind.
Through this theory, a lot of studies and research has been
done in regards through the subconscious mind. There are school of thoughts
that believe that the subconscious mind when stimulated can lead you to do
actions or it may influence your behaviors.
