    A brain without a body is in a state called "sensory deprivation" and that leads to insanity real fast.

    The subconscious mind of every man, woman and child is completely stripped of emotion and can be influenced in many ways, particularly by television.

    Those who want to rule the world know very well how to tap into the subconscious minds of people. We then have all these beliefs embedded in us that we cannot explain.

     I was going to argue that everything  goes through the brain for interpretation but then I realized what you said.  Without incoming info the brain cannot access it. So the five senses would be  inaccessible since that takes the bodily organs to be the path to the brain for interpretation. Anyway the episode was really creepy.  The very last shot is of the brain in a jar with   wires coming out of it hooked up to a machine as the screen fades to black. The entire show was about this unseen entity that controlled everything.  We assumed it was some kind of intelligent life in a form we could recognize. So of course it was a huge shock to see what it actually was. Thank you for your reply JV! :)

    Can WE tap into our own subconscious Camel? Do we ever know what is going on at that level?  If we cannot tap into it how can others do so? Do you mean like using trigger words to activate deeply felt hate or violence? That is very scary. Of course we all read into the words we hear whatever our bias wants us to hear. Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday! :)

    Of course we can tap into it but most people are unaware of this or refuse to do anything to change it so we can use blame bad experiences on our bad behavior.

    Subliminal message have been used in advertising for a long long time. I recall a news story in recent years where a boy who is autistic caught a McDonald's pop up that was only 1/30 of a second during a television program. that type of subliminal messaging is supposed to be illegal now, but perhaps you've been watching television and gotten an urge to eat or drink something and you have no idea where where it came from. Great marketing strategists and politicians know they have to reach your subconscious and to do it legally, they usually resort to repetition. Most 30 second ads will say the name of the company at least three times before ad is over. So, if we are watching TV, perhaps PBS is exempt, we are essentially being brainwashed. the people advertising have much more influence on us than our friends most of the time because they are highly skilled at the art of invading the subconscious or brainwashing as most have been brainwashed to say.

    One of the best tools I have used to tap into the subconscious and put what I would like to have in there is Mind Master. It is software that you control and it goes on about touching your subconscious the entire time you are in front of your computer.
