Subconscious Communication - Introduction

This is where I can get to put on my instructing hat. I learn best by teaching. A recent conversation with Khoa helped me realize I am not alone in my deep desire to share knowledge with others in this world, in this time. Lately I have a gone to great extents to organize my creative outlets. The idea was to create an organized method that felt like my own and to have it stand on its own two feet in case there were times where the creative pool was dry and the outlets unused. My little disclaimer is that by no means is this text supposed to convey pompous feeling over my methods. I like to communicate with confidence. I feel by doing so, my audience is more likely listen. I could be wrong.

My experiences with the creative world have always been shaky. For good reason however. The creative world mimics our subconscious brain in almost every aspect. The way I see it, our conscious brain is simply a veil of logic and defined contrast over the chaotic, blended subconscious. I say that reality acts the same over the creative 'realm.' The only thing is when you are awake and alert you are very much conscious--it can be defined by a physical state in opposition to the subconscious and unconscious. Reality is subjective. It may be concrete in the moment but over time it is as fluid and varying as the translucent cloth spoken of above.

Enough of that, the real meat of these posts is about subconscious communication. This is not subliminal, it's not meant to be unnoticed to the conscious receiver; it's communication that is to seat nicely within the subconscious mind. My idea is that if a thought or idea is crafted in the creative world its destination would be somewhere similar. Packaging the bullet of communication in a conscious condom. It has to work in the thin layer before it can dent the dermis. 

Pop culture and its minions do this best. It plays the game best in the receiver's conscious realm because it highlights common ground. Its entire existence is dependent on previous experience. Reworking the ideas. What's hidden within is the real treat.

I have listened to music that is not only pleasing to the ear but is emotionally captivating. I can kick my foot to the beat, feel the edge of the sound on my neck, and breathe the bass line in my lungs. I also get goosebumps up and down my arms with emotional resonation. 

When I look at a Pablo Picasso piece, my initial reaction is, "My kids can do that. What's the big deal?" Then, I opened my heart to the mental environment Picasso was in when he created those pieces and it all made sense. It was innocent and divine. 

What I would like to discuss in a few more posts are the ways I have applied the doctrine of subconscious communication into a positive, progressive method to be applied every day. It becomes an emotional exercise. It can even be frightening at times:  moving the veil to the side, exposing the uncomfortable, the vulnerable. So please stay tuned for the description of these methods and feel free to discuss criticism.
