5.53 AM / March 26

As you can see above on the top of this window, I have changed the title of my site. No more Mutilated Mind. I don't even know what that meant.

I remember way in sec 4 Lisda always asked me what 'subliminalintellect' meant and to a certain extent I haven't really given her a proper explanation. So here it is...

Here's what I know. The brain at any point of time is only a very small amount of its power to process everything we do. The rest of it is the subconscious mind. Aware but not really in use.

What if the subconscious mind could grow in power to become sort of a secondary conscious mind? The subconscious mind still processes stuff, just without your knowledge. So what if you leave the stuff usually processed by the conscious mind to the subconscious mind to deal with?

I don't just listen to music half of the time. I try to decipher it. Break it down to guitars, bass, vocals drums and whatever else that could be in there. Quite a tough thing for your brain to do. Takes time. But I don't have that time. I have to study most of the time you see. Either that or something else. So I just do it while I do something else.

Amazingly, there are times that I realize that I actually have figured out whole songs even though I don't sit down and listen to them. I find myself able to re-create the timings and general riffs of the whole songs in my head without really remebering listening to the songs that often. But not really to the exact chords or lyrics. Things like drum-pedal timings and general switches in timing.

Sooner or later, I could figure whole drumming sequences while doing things like studying or reading. This pretty much amazed me. Was I just simply slacking off or was I actually using my subconscious mind more effectively?

I'm still very much fascinated by the power of the subconscious mind. This is what subliminalintellect is based on and what it represents. Being able to comprehend and understand without really realizing it. Not just in everyday mundane circumstances, but in more amazing situations where you pretty much turn it into a superpower. Imagine reading about Biology while listening AND understanding a lecture on Physics at the same time.

The power of the subconscious mind is an untapped resource at most. Make full use of it.
