It’s A Subliminal Life
A subliminal life is
whatever is going on in our mind-scape.
Subliminal: a stimulus or mental process below the threshold of sensation or consciousness; perceived by or affecting someone’s mind without their being aware of it.
It’s part of neurolinguistic programming. NLP modifies unconscious biases, and operates through the conscious use of language to bring about changes in someone’s thoughts and behaviour.
Why do we do and say what we do and say? Said anything original recently? Our compliance and reactions control us. Always ask, “Why am I feeling or thinking this?”
Our mind-scape is overseen by consciousness, the arbiter of decisions in our subliminal life, where we are infiltrated by spurious information which is apparently – but not actually – valid. That is how we are controlled.
The ultimate arbiter is pure consciousness that just sees without taking sides,
or before taking sides.
