Once your mind linked your desire for your car and color to your conscious mind, your subconscious was fast to start becoming aware of all of the other cars with that color around you. The car with that color was always prevalent around you, but you did not consciously recognize them. Have you ever bought a new car in a certain color, then start seeing this car everywhere? This is a form of subliminal messaging influencing your awareness. Other subliminal messages could me visual as well. This caused the subconscious mind to influence your actions to turn down the music so you could consciously hear the knock at the door. While the loud music kept the conscious mind from hearing the knock at the door or the phone ringing, this stimuli sound was still received just below the threshold of conscious perception in the subliminal (below conscious).

For example, have you ever thought you “heard” your phone ringing or a knock at the front door while listening to loud music only to have a “feeling” that made you turn down the music and find out the phone is really ringing or someone is at the door? Then you have experienced a subliminal message. Subliminal messages are understood below the normal awareness of the conscious mind. These messages can influence our behavior, sometimes fairly rapidly, and sometimes it requires time and conditioning for these subliminal messages to impact our actions. In literal terms, a subliminal message is a message below the threshold of conscious awareness. Webster’s Dictionary: Subliminal – relating to things that influence your mind in a way that you do not noticeĪ subliminal message is a visual or auditory message that the conscious brain does not notice, but subconsciously sees or hears.
