Blogpost 5 : "Subconscious Mind : Yin Yang"

Yin and Yang

 The art of balance. A state of mind that focuses on balance and equality. We see this symbol in many video games, tattoos, and even pictures. Yin and Yang are always together. It represents your whole being. I have shared to you subliminal messages that exist in our daily life. The law of attraction that is a power of your thoughts. Yin and Yang is a connection of your negative and positive being, Your male and female side, passive and active. 






    This study is about an ancient culture of the chinese people. The concept is if you acquire balance you get peace in your life. In my previous post I discussed to you about the "re-programing" of the mind. The Yin and Yang idea is similar to the science concept of internal nature and external form.

   I found an article concerning about this matter called "Yang and Yin: Unification Thought, Science, and the Book of Changes" by David Burton and from the website http://www.tparents.org/Library/Unification/Publications/JournalUnificationStudies9/JUS9-08.html

   This article is about the connection of Unification Thought, Science, and the Book of Changes. I will focus on the science and how is yin yang related to it. So basically there is a basic concept in science about upward and downward motion. side to side motions, and equilibrium.

   

 Equilibrium goes from our physical built to our DNA and psychology. In life we are struggling because we don't have the yin and yang in balance. We tend to forget that we are never perfect. Our positive nature cannot exist without our negative nature.

   The idea of balance exist in our conscious and subconscious mind. We do control it and we do need to get the "BV" and the "GV."(Law of Attraction post.) This world is so complicated because we make it complicated. The subconscious mind is supposed to be our ultimate tool. Rationality overwhelms our inner self that is why we need balance. Let's get our Yin and Yang. Let's go out there and live life to the fullest.

Blogpost 4 : "Subconscious Mind : Lucid Dreaming"

Lucid Dreaming

    Have you ever watched the movie "Inception?" Controlling your yourself within a dream? What if I told you that all of that may be true? Sounds like 9gag huh? Well a lot of posts about lucid dreaming are in 9gag and some are true, some are not. This topic is about the research and studies about mind controlling again. This post is much likely the hypnosis article. This one you can try on your own but I will share to you warnings about it.

   Today I tell you about "Lucid Dreaming." I searched what lucid means in the dictionary and this came up easily understood; completely intelligible or comprehensible ; clear or transparent. Basically it is dreaming and what you create in your dream is all real. You control the scenario, people, things and yourself inside the dream. What ever you want comes true which is like Inception.

   This legit article i found by Susan Blackmore titled Lucid Dreaming: Awake in Your Sleep found in the website called http://www.susanblackmore.co.uk/Articles/si91ld.html. This article tells about what Lucid Dreaming is and how it works.

There is a question in this article about whether a lucid dream is a dream or not? "The term lucid dreaming was coined by the Dutch psychiatrist Frederik van Eeden in 1913. It is something of a misnomer since it means something quite different from just clear or vivid dreaming. Nevertheless we are certainly stuck with it. Van Eeden explained that in this sort of dream "the re-integration of the psychic functions is so complete that the sleeper reaches a state of perfect awareness and is able to direct his attention, and to attempt different acts of free volition. Yet the sleep, as I am able confidently to state, is undisturbed, deep, and refreshing."  There are a lot of studies about this stuff. As it was stated that you have complete awareness and function inside your dream. It is popularly pictured as being in a trance or you are separated from your physical body.

   There is this experiment that I read about which was the brainwave comparison made from real life actions against inside the lucid dream. The brainwave activity in the real world was the same of inside the lucid dream. It is being present in a world where your physical body is left by your spirit.

   This occurrence was in religious teachings. The notion "Spirit is separated from your body and then goes to heaven or hell." Trying to lucid dream needs practice for beginners but in some cases some people has the ability to lucid dream at will. Imagine a dream that is not a dream that is reality which is not reality? Woah, cab you even understand that?

   You can try lucid dreaming but I told you I there are warnings. In an experiment according to the article which was about "false awakenings." It is the level of lucid dreaming which you think you woke up but you didn't! Imagine of waking up in the morning brushing your teeth, getting a shower then dressing up but when you put your shirt on you realize you just woke up, again! There is an experiment similar to this which the a french zoologist had woke up 4 times to really reach the real world. Imagine waking up 4 times and knowing it was all just a dream?

   As an own experience without even bullshitting you. I tryed lucid dreaming. It said in the article that i should let go of limitations, forget that lucid dreaming (in the back of my mind) was not true. It is removing rationality and completely being another form. So I tried it, what my conclusion when I woke up was not really clear. I think I did a lucid dream but didn't. I remember the beach and how it feels good to just chill but when I woke up I think I just closed my eyes, imagined those things then opened my eyes again. The reason might be that thought in my mind that I was fooling myself.

   I read about another article about the "Levels of Lucidity in Conscious Dreams" written by Rebecca Turner from the site www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com which explains the levels of your dream. As in the article there are unofficially 4 types of dreams.

1. Non-Lucid Dream - This is the default dream state, where you are totally unaware that you are dreaming.
2. Semi-Lucid Dream - The lowest levels of lucidity occur with a semi-lucid dream, which may involve the realization that you are dreaming.
3. Fully Lucid Dream - A fully lucid dream means having complete awareness that you are in a dream world. You understand that it is the creation of your own mind, and that you can manipulate any element at will.

   I think I had the Semi-Lucid Dream. Even from before I think I had them. Especially when I wake up in the morning focusing on going to school early which my sleep was just like a minute or seconds. There are these kind of stuff that better experienced that told. As they say "Experience is the best teacher." This I believe is true. 

 
   Lucid dreaming have been used for everything. Your sexual dreams, your dreams of the future, your dreams of having fun, your dreams of being terrified or your dreams that might become true. You can remove your bad vibes while in a lucid dream just like the hypnotherapy. I would just leave you one question : What if this reality was a dream, and when you die you wake up? I live in the present, I do my all to enjoy life and do my best to step up in it.

Blogpost 3 : "Subconcious Mind : Hypnosis"

Hypnotize Me!

 The complex mind again! From law of attraction to subliminal messages and now the power to control the mind of others? Hypnosis is a very popular thing. When I think of Hypnosis I picture a magical man who probably sold his soul to the devil to be able to hypnotize other people. It hit me in the brain, is this really true?
   
   In today's world some people even pay to get hypnotized. They re-construct their subconscious mind and this serves as a therapy. Actually this is true. So what really is hypnosis? What does it have to do with the way I feel? The way I think? Does it really work?

     I came across this article called "What is Hypnosis : Hypnosis Applications, Effects and Myths" which i found in http://psychology.about.com/od/statesofconsciousness/a/hypnosis.htm and was written by Kendra Cherry.

   So what really is Hypnosis? While definitions can vary, the American Psychological Association describes hypnosis as a cooperative interaction in which the participant responds to the suggestions of the hypnotist. I read that clearly! It said "cooperative interaction" therefore it means that the one getting hypnotized should have the will to be hypnotized. You can't hypnotize someone without there surrender. As it is stated in the article:

Can You Be Hypnotized?

While many people think that they cannot be hypnotized, research has shown that a large number of people are more hypnotizable than they believe.

• Fifteen percent of people are very responsive to hypnosis.
• Children tend to be more susceptible to hypnosis.
• Approximately ten percent of adults are considered difficult or impossible to hypnotize.
• People who can become easily absorbed in fantasies are much more responsive to hypnosis.

If you are interested in being hypnotized, it is important to remember to approach the experience with an open mind. Research has suggested that individuals who view hypnosis in a positive light tend to respond better.

   People that are open and has good imagination tend to be most likely to be hypnotized. Hypnosis is used as a therapy or treatment which is called Hypnotheraphy. This method treats chronic pain conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, treatment and reduction of pain during childbirth, elimination or reduction of skin conditions including warts and psoriasis, and more.

 We see this procedures in movies and it is true but don't believe everything you see. The idea of not remembering what happened after hypnosis is bullshit. In some cases it rarely does happen but not all the time. It said in the article which is supported by studies that the amnesia happens rarely. You can even hypnotize your self and remember everything after that.

   In conclusion, Hypnosis is a process which the one hypnotized surrenders his focused attention in the hypnotist. It is like amplifying your subconscious mind to re-construct it's self. You are always in charge and your actions are always your responsibility. The mind really is a fascinating creation. It has so much capability. The quote that my father always tells me "Mind Over Matter" came up to be true.

Blogpost 2 : "Subconcious Mind : Subliminal Messages in Music"

Subliminal Messages in Music

 

   In my last blog post I shared to you about the law of attraction and how the subconscious mind affect your way of life. In this topic i will tell you about the manipulation on the subliminal messages. Many researchers and normal people are intrigued by this topic.

  

   Have you ever imagine someone controlling your subconscious mind? Have you ever felt like getting mad or violent because of a song? What if I tell you that this occurrence is in our daily life? Subliminal messages are everywhere especially in our modern society. Right now I will focus on the subliminal messages in the music industry.

   As I was going through articles about subliminal messages in music I found this article called "Are Subliminal Messages in Music Actually Real?" in the website http://www.examiner.com/article/are-subliminal-messages-music-actually-real which is written by Dustin M. Pardue.

   Subliminal means existing or operating below the threshold of consciousness or your subconscious mind.(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/subliminal) The idea is to inculcate to your mind the hidden messages that songs has in them subconsciously. Subconsciously? How? In the article I have linked it said that "The technique of adding backward sounds and messages into a recording that was meant to be played forward is called backmasking. The first evidence of this came from the Beatles, who have often been accused of using backmasking for sinister purposes."

  When I read this article I said to myself, "What? The Beatles? Those peace loving hippies are evil?" Backmasking is used even in the 90s. They use the cassette tape are uses a pen to turn the cassette backwards, therefore it plays backwards revealing the hidden messages. An example is Britney Spears song called "Hit me baby one more time" which if played backwards it says “Sleep with me. I’m not too young.”

  Actually when I was researching about
this matter I discovered this. There is a band called
"Judas Priest" that was sued
because of their subliminal messages. The trial is about the suicide of 2 boys and the parents blame the band because the subliminal messages from the song of the band encouraged or subconsciously made the boys to commit suicide. One boy dies and one failed to kill himself. The name of the boys are Ray Belknap who died and Jay Vance who survived. This occurred on December 23, 1985.




   The effects of music in our life is truly great. If you want to be happy and bubbly you listen to happy songs. When you want to party you listen to the mind spinning house or dubstep music. When you just want to hit somebody in the face because of bad mood you might listen to heavy rock. I do not discourage you in listening to them, you are an individual. Your choices and what you do is up to you.

    Our world is full of weird and wonderful stuff. Even if sometimes we can't understand we still have this instinct of curiosity. Human mind is very complicated. Take control of your subconsciousness, feed it with good vibes and attitude. Become what you want to be and what you deserve to be. Subliminal messages are everywhere, you can even try reversing songs and be shocked of what you will discover. Then again I believe there is a reason for everything. Do as you will and live your life.

Blogpost 1: "Subconcious Mind : Law of Attraction"

Subconscious Mind : Law of Attraction

 

    Have you ever thought of making your thoughts into reality? Have you ever dreamed of something that became true? Have you ever shared your emotion to someone else? In this article I will tell you about the "Secret". It's called "The Law of Attraction".

   So what is it? It is the idea that people and their thoughts are both made from pure energy. Everything and everyone has energy. What you attract depends on the energy you produce, therefore you attract. When I was a high school student, my science teacher thought me that all things has molecules and atoms. They have vibrations right? I see this as the energy. But one thing that the Law of Attraction tells is that your thoughts and emotions also has energy.

   Your subconscious mind can affect your life. Control the way you think and your personality and life will change. Your thoughts and emotions comes out rather subconsciously. This waves of energy vibrates. Take in the positive energy, ignore the negative ones. 

   I found this article called "12 Ways The 'Law of Attraction' Can Improve Your Life" found in http://www.businessinsider.com/how-the-law-of-attraction-will-improve-your-life-2012-7?op=1 and was written by Aimee Groth and Ashley Lutz.

• You attract good or bad experiences based on your thoughts.
• Thinking about something means you invite it in, even if you don't want it
• The more you focus on something the more powerful it becomes
• To make a change , you've got to see things as you hope them to be, not as they are.
• Success isn't a finite source, everyone can have it.

   Everything around us has energy and vibrates. You have the power to influence others right? Our thoughts and emotions are powerful. We are even able to influence other people, so how is it impossible to influence the things around us? In the article it says that focusing on something will make it more powerful. Have you ever had that feeling when you are in a bad mood in the morning it carries on the whole day? As if that day was a crappy day. It's because you focused on your bad mood. You didn't want it but you kept it as an energy therefore it vibrated.

   Ignore the bad moods or what we call now a days BV (Bad Vibes). Everyone has it but that doesn't mean you have to keep thinking of it. Every successful man had the bad vibes but they are able to overcome them. The power of thinking positively is key to our everyday lives. Everyone deserves to be successful. Success isn't a finite source, everyone can have it.

  I believe that Bob Marley knows the Law of Attraction. He might have not studied it but he surely did teach me something. It was all about "Positive Vibration YEAH!". Be a positive person, share your energy to others and everything in the world. Everyone has power we just have to use it.
