( Unconscious mind)
Subliminal messages Many observers throughout history have argued that there are influences on consciousness from other parts of the mind. These observers differ in the use of related terms, including unconsciousness as a personal habit; being unaware and intuition. Terms related to semi-consciousness include awakening, implicit memory, the subconscious, subliminal messages, trance, and hypnosis. Although sleep, sleep walking, delirium and coma may signal the presence of unconscious processes, these processes are not the unconscious mind. Science is also in its infancy in exploring the limits of consciousness. The idea of an unconscious mind originated in antiquity[1] and has been explored across cultures. It was recorded between 2500 and 600 B.C in the Hindu texts known as the Vedas, found today in Ayurvedic medicine.[2][3][4][5] In the Vedic worldview, consciousness is the basis of physiology[6][7] and pure consciousness is "an abstract, silent, completely unified field of consciousness"[8] within "an architecture of increasingly abstract, functionally integrated faculties or levels of mind".[9] Articulating the idea of something not conscious or actively denied to awareness with the symbolic constructs of language has been a process of human thought and interpersonal influence for millennia. Freud and his followers popularized unconscious motivation in a culture of the individual, of a self viewed as both separate and sufficient, which is a uniquely western world view akin to the survival of the fittest.
