Language, Form and the Subconscious - Wisdom Leading to Joy
The vast majority of what goes on in our minds is subconscious. The vast majority of our power and abilities is subconscious. Our subconscious receives information constantly, and when it is influenced without our awareness, we are also influenced and can be manipulated easily. Form is powerful. Sound is powerful. Words are powerful. Sound and language have the ability to influence physical reality. When meanings of words are distorted or subverted, the subconscious hears the original, undistorted meaning, and equates the new concepts with the original word. Culture and civilization can be destroyed by perverting language because the human mind follows language and the subconscious, and behavior follows both. Many common words have been twisted in modern times, and the resulting decline in culture and civilization is evident. It is vital for humanity to become aware of the subconscious and how it is influenced by form, sound, and especially by language, in order to avoid being manipulated into oblivion.

The content of these presentations has been garnered through observation, contemplation, hopefully insight, and, most importantly, experience. Ideas and assertions are simply presented for consideration. The effort is not to prove or convince, but rather to present ideas for one’s own thought, research, innate common sense, and experience.
References are included only if information is specific and may not be generally known. No offense whatsoever is taken at any disagreement or counter-assertion. Many disagreements are due to semantics. Take whatever is useful and ignore the rest. If something fits and is useful, wonderful!

The brilliant spectrum in the banner is the closest representation of the absolute joy of a realm of which I have memory since childhood. No one owns the spectrum. It is used here because of its joy.
In case it seems that it took a lot of work to create these multi-media presentations, it was negligible compared to acquiring the inner-standing required to write the content.
