Peripheral
Perception Is Natural
Peripheral perception, shadowed or
masked information—it’s all subliminal technology, which is one of the most
powerful techniques presently available. It can rescript the preconscious mind,
stripping away negative expectations and self-doubt and replacing those
destructive patterns with positive input, thereby eliciting positive changes in
an effortless and natural way from the inside out.
There’s nothing mysterious about
all of this. Yet part of the difficulty in understanding subliminal rests in
the word itself. A subliminal message, at least in the instance of an audio
program, could be defined as a verbal stimulus perceived below the threshold of
awareness. Now, the key word here is perceive. A whisper two blocks away is
below the threshold of awareness, but it isn’t perceived. In order for
perception by an individual to occur, there must be sufficient stimuli to
trigger a neuron in the brain.
Neurons have no neutral state.
They’re either off or on. Therefore, the perception level that exists and is
taking place with subliminals is, in fact, a neural excitation. Without it,
there exists no perception, with or without awareness.
What’s It Like?
In the many lectures I’ve
presented in the United States, Asia, and Europe, there has always been a
nagging need to find an analogy that could accurately describe what occurs for
the users of InnerTalk audio programs. I’ve worked with the construct of
peripheral perception to describe the manner in which voices speaking positive
affirmations to the subconscious can—and indeed do—impress the listener even
though they’re unaware consciously of the process.
Peripheral perception is normally
thought of as that aspect of sight that borders on the fringes of how far out
to the right or left side we can see. The fringe always has clarity problems.
That is, we may report the ability to see an object to the side, and even
slightly behind us; but the further the object moves toward the limit of
vision, the less clear it becomes. This is a substantially similar process to
how audio perception occurs with InnerTalk subliminal self-help programs.
The fringe is known as the
“threshold,” and the audio threshold is established by determining the point at
which the conscious mind can hear a particular sound 50 percent of the time. A
threshold is that place where sometimes we hear the signal and other times we
don’t. With InnerTalk, this point is relative to the primary carrier, music or
nature sounds. Thus, the words are sometimes audible and sometimes not. The
entire message may not be understood, but the voices are acknowledged by the
conscious mind. Thus, from time to time we hear the message even if we don’t
understand every word of it.
Similar to the limit of peripheral
vision, where we see an object but without the sharpness that comes from
looking directly at it, InnerTalk audio messages are sometimes heard, but
without the clarity the conscious mind requires in order for it to repeat the
information. Shadowing the messages, as described earlier, facilitates this.
Change . . . from the
Inside Out
The comparison of peripheral
vision to the audio perception of an InnerTalk stimulus continues to be
effective. The analogy of what happens to users of the audio subliminal program
as they listen to it was much more difficult for me until a friend and I sat
down to discuss just that. As we reviewed our personal experiences with
InnerTalk, it became very obvious that our benefit had been gradual and from
the inside out, almost intuitive in its inner direction. Often, only when the
affirmations contained on the program were reread did we have an “Aha!” that
acknowledged consciously why certain aspects of our drives and emotions, and
therefore behavior, had changed.
Intuitive perception is just what
seems to take place when you work with a well-designed program. One day you act
differently because you’re thinking differently. Gentle nudges from the inner
mind begin to guide one’s choices. In my friend’s instance, creativity became
natural. New ideas and concepts just seemed to flow through him. Later he
experienced successes with different programs, but they were in process
substantially the same as with the first one: I Am Creative.
All my experiences are akin to
his. At first there seems to be little noticeable change, but after a few days
things just seem to have a different arrangement. One day I was afraid of
public speaking, to the point that I would do almost anything, invent almost
any excuse, just to avoid it. Then it seemed like the next day public speaking
was tolerable, and the following day I was excited about the opportunity to
share with others. Today lectures, workshops, radio, and television are just
something I do like any other activity.
What we believe in our
subconscious is who and what we are! The conscious mind can only guess at
what’s in the subconscious, while the subconscious has every thought the
conscious will ever have long before it comes to awareness. In order to change,
we need to change the way we think. Speaking directly to the subconscious is
what subliminal messages do. One day there simply seems to be more positive
than negative information in the subconscious. Then, as that wonderful
bio-computer changes old inner beliefs about ourselves and the world around us,
almost magically those goals, ideals, and ambitions become ours! And it happens
without doubt, without fear.
