Call America the United States of Subliminal Messages....that is what moves us and moves our land. Remember, 90 percent of communication is.....that's right, NONVERBAL. So, that being said, you have to pay attention to the covert things, not the overt.
I taught my class today and a student asked, "why are we studying subliminal messages?" I replied, the world of the unknown is what test are really about. The real world is really about the unknown. How do I teach and reach students who are not familiar with the unknown? I'm not sure. But I do know they need an introduction on subliminals and how the unknown works. This intro will help them navigate tests, life and other things as related to society. No, this isn't conspiracy theory. No, I am not trying to induce my students to only see the unknown as it relates to "fear"!
I want my students to see the unknown and be able to draw a possibility, from an impossibility. One of my students answered a dynamic question, as it related to taking a GED test. I asked him, how do you make a Festiva drive or function with 40 inch wheels. He said, "with certain tools, some things that are impossible, become possible." I said "a ha". That answer came from his sub-concious. He wasn't aware that he could say such a thing. And I said, that is my point exactly. This is how I want them to train themselves to not only take test, but live life.
Many people wonder why relations, life, the economy, politics and other things have gone awry in America. Look at all of the subliminals. We say we want things on the surface. And many times we do. But underneath, subliminally we are being programmed to refuel all of the ideals of not wanting harmony with these things. A beautiful woman wants a beautfiul man. They meet, but neither seem willing to co-exist together. On the surface, it seems like a good match. Underneath, the internal messages they send to themselves and each other are OFF. The Willie Lynch letter addresses this phenomena and this relates particularly to the black community.
On a final note, I was looking at a magazine stand. There was one magazine cover that had an article title on the front that said, "where are black men"? I laughed as I looked at the cover of 30 magazines, only to see 3 or 4 with black men's faces on them. Most of these magazines (the 3or 4) had black men that were celebrities on them, not regular joes. And that sends a clear message to people. So, in response to the question that article posed, I answer..."not included"...by way of subliminals and direct messages. Which means...unknown.
