Subliminals and Morphic Fields | New Tier + Essay

I've been asked repeatedly to compose productions that combine classic subliminal programming with the recently popular morphic fields. I've held off on this request for several years, eventually dove back into the research, and came to a decision - let's do it.

For this purpose, I created an additional tier named "Chemical Processes" that will include access to:

- the latest productions based on subliminal and morphic programming

- additional polls

By subscribing to this tier, you will keep access to all the rewards available in the other memberships, including the "Active Substance" and "Essential Knowledge." If you previously chose Active Substance membership but are not interested in morphic programming, don't worry - nothing will change for you. My scientific research on the first love - binaural beats - continues.

Okay, but does morphic field-based programming work? Wasn't BN skeptical?

Let's break down this subject; subliminal messaging including.

---------------

| SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

There is a common misconception that the subconscious mind is the 90% of the brain that we don't use, as popularized in the movie Lucy. While we do use most of its capacity, the actual fact is that we don't have conscious access to 90% of the processes that occur in our brains.

Let's have a computer, to illustrate. When you read this article, you are consciously doing two things: looking at it and reading it. Meanwhile, your brain is continuously running dozens of processes in the background, allowing your brain to function effectively and support your main focus - reading - at the highest level of efficiency.

The subconscious mind is that background operating system, with a big sieve at the bottom. It processes all the incoming information and sifts out unnecessary data to optimize conscious awareness.

Thanks to this, we can fully concentrate and not be overwhelmed by the billions of stimuli that reach our senses every second, such as background noise, smells, body position, things you see at the edge of your vision, etc. Meanwhile, we can still remain aware and operational in the event of an emergency - instead of utterly absorbed to the conscious task.

/ once the barrier between the conscious and subconscious mind is altered, our conscious perception and background processes become indistinguishable - exactly what people experience under high doses of psychedelics.

Conscious-subconscious dependence

Subliminals belong to a broad field that combines both psychology and biology. They're mental processes or stimuli undertaken and processed by the subconscious mind, without the active engagement of its conscious awareness.

Imagine you're trying to solve a complex puzzle or problem at work, but with no success. Later, while doing something unrelated, an idea pops into your head - a new approach or connection you hadn't considered before - hit the bull's eye. Sounds familiar? How about a sudden urge to leave the room before an unfavorable event occurs? A profound dream that later came true? A need to pay attention to a random flyer in the waiting room? A thought about reaching out to a friend you spoke with 3 years ago? To look in the rearview mirror and see an ambulance coming, even though you didn't hear or see it? Here we are.

When some information repeatedly reaches the subconscious mind and/or induces a high-stress response (so including audible affirmations, mantras, or subliminal messages), it becomes highly profound, as a result forcing the body to trigger a whole cascade of processes depending upon the exact information processed, to deal with it or respond correspondingly, inducing a short and longer-term impact - "subliminal response." This involves not only mental processes, but also physical signaling from heart rate to gene expression - anything to achieve the goal that was set.

Your subconscious has always been working behind the scenes, processing information and connecting the dots without your conscious awareness. Even if you think that you can't effectively multitask, your subconscious mind is a master at it - silently yet firmly, steering the entire organism, defining all thoughts and actions within our conscious awareness, storing every stimulus, experience, thought, and belief, along with millions of pieces of information we're not even aware of - both positive and negative.

| SUBLIMINAL MESSAGING

By listening to auditory subliminals / subliminal messages, we understand messages (e.g., affirmations) perceived below the absolute threshold level (ATL) of conscious awareness. When subliminal messages are reach our subconscious awareness repeatedly, they will first begin to affect subconsciousness, then indirectly conscious perception and finally induce various mental and physiological changes.

Subliminal messages have a vast potential to rewire the brain. Back to the computer example - even a slight modification in the background processes impacts the entire functionality of the computer. Here even the saying "lie that is repeated a thousand times becomes truth" materializes; there is no objective truth. A few days of exposure to subliminal stimuli is sufficient to perceive significant differentiations in the thinking patterns and behavior of the body, including gene signaling. Numerous controlled studies and analysis have proven their influence on human behavior (most popular: Spence 1967; Kaser 1986; Dijksterhuis 2005; Kouider & Dehaene 2007; Kiran et al., 2013; Florea 2016; Karam et al., 2017; Sutin-Martin & Rienda-Gómez 2020; Riasaty et al., 2023). No wonder, this phenomenon was being researched in depth during the Cold War in both the Soviet Union and the United States (e.g., the famous MKULTRA subproject of the CIA). Interestingly, the use of subliminal messages in, i.a., commercials is strictly prohibited in many countries around the World.

At this point, I'm going to merge two subjects: affirmations and subliminals. Did you know that both are widely used in professional sports? You may have watched the recent Olympics and noticed how many athletes used to quietly speak to themselves right before attempting, e.g., a high jump. The same thing does coaches to their proteges. Does this remind you of the use of affirmations? Let's take another example. Statistically, football teams perform much better when playing in front of an audience that is cheering them. On the other hand, teams perform worse when the crowd whistles at them, even though while playing, the players don't consciously notice what's going in the stands, and are fully concentrated on the game.

Sooner or later, athletes reach a natural genetic limit of their body. At this point, they must intensely focus on performing one of the most challenging workouts - exercise with a psychologist - training of the conscious and subconscious mind (example - Eddie Hall and his road to 500kg in deadlift). Without going into the details of psychophysiology, I want to introduce you to an exciting mechanism that can be greatly affected by affirmations, which many of you most likely haven't heard of before:

The body consists of an organ called the Golgi tendon organ. One of its primary functions in muscles is to regulate muscle stiffness and prevent muscle from being damaged and torn. The more an athlete trains, the less the Golgi tendon limits muscles, allowing one to engage more muscle units with higher efficiency. Amateurs typically use only 20-25% of their muscular capacity during resistance training. Well-trained athletes can exceed this limit up to 40-60%. What about the rest of the spare potential? Whenever the CNS (central nervous system) becomes strongly stimulated by, e.g., a stressful event, through triggering the fight-or-flight response, the activity of the Golgi tendon becomes reduced, allowing a person to use maximum muscles potential (e.g., life-threatening events). While the brain modulates the functions of CNS, you can "trick" your brain t into producing a particular bodily response by, e.g., believing/imagining certain things and actions (think hypnosis, rising body temperature using visualization, placebo and nocebo effect, etc.). That's where affirmations and subliminal messages get into action.

Finally, subliminal messages are directly connected to the so-called "law of attraction," despite its "new age" connotations, a scientifically recognized and well-understood phenomenon. The subconscious mind has a hundredfold higher processing capacity than the conscious counterpart. Research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience shows that people who make decisions without engaging their conscious mind have an 80% less probability of making mistakes in stressful situations (note the training of the military special forces). Since affirmations can program the subconscious mind (through repetitive messaging), as a result, they can program the mind-body to process all the necessary data essential to achieve your goal, sort it and manifest through your everyday conscious and unconscious choices - modify the sieve I mentioned in the beginning of this article, and push you toward fulfilling your purposes and attracting "coincidences" - non-randomized.

| MORPHIC FIELDS

Morphic fields are non-physical fields made of morphic units that form a collective group of information transferred across space and time, serving as a coding-like system in the universe. Accordingly to the hypothesis, every experience by every living organism (both mental and physical) is being stored in an external database (a library) through the activity of morphic resonance. The human body is constantly subjected to the influence of morphic fields and vice versa, when repeating similar actions and thoughts or listening to specific auditory stimuli.

Morphogenetic fields - the subdomain of morphic fields. A group of cells found in every living organism that can respond to biochemical and energetic signals. Through morphogenetic resonance (which can be, e.g., biochemical or energetic signals (e.g., electromagnetic or acoustic waves (sound) / "vibration")), cells of every living organism are driven to behave and develop in a specified way. So, for example, a group of yet undifferentiated cells in response to the "muscle morphogenetic field" will create muscle tissue, while the same group of undefined cells in response to the "bone field" will form a bone tissue.

The concept of morphogenetic fields was first put forth by a scientist named Alexander Gavrilovich Gurwitsch at the beginning of the 20th century and explains many of the missing elements in biology and genetics until the present. Biologists have been at odds over the existence of morphogenetic fields for over 100 years. Many don't believe that the morphogenetic field of intelligence is the exact "library," a "source," or a "cloud-like online disc" that informs each and every living organism of how and when to express specific genes. By many they're still called a hypothesis. But, on top of that, many researches proved all the basic concepts to be true. The most famous was done at Harvard in the 1920s. Rats from genetically unrelated subsequent generations learned to escape from a water maze faster and faster, even though they had no physical interaction with each other. Summarizing the collective research, the British biologist Rupert Sheldrake created a general concept of morphic fields in 1980, unifying and expanding many outdated definitions followed by a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms by Willam Parke in Biophysics. We can say that morphic fields are currently experiencing a renaissance, although they are still in the stage of protoscience.

Energy programming

An average human, at rest, produces around 100 watts of power. All physical and mental processes occurring in the body utilizes energy and generates it. Every thought and emotion is based on neuronal responses, which occur through electrical and chemical signals. For that reason, many people directly link morphic fields with energy programming and the initial theory of the chakra system, which can vibrate at a frequency of a specific morphic field (or of a acoustic wave).
Recent research in quantum physics suggests that morphic fields can exist, aligning with primary assumptions in this physics domain. Once accepted, we could finally answer the long-standing question of why undifferentiated cells can develop into vastly different organisms, such as crocodiles or humans. However, scientific research still strives for more advanced measuring instruments.

But can we, while listening to an audio stimulus, affect the body and mind through morphic fields, thus becoming energetically programmed? What if morphic fields don't exist?
When it comes to frequencies or audio stimuli, it doesn't really matter whether you're skeptical or not. It is well known that music and rhythmical drumming intensely and comprehensively affect the human organism, beginning from impacting mood, well-being, up to improving blood circulation and cognitive functions, increasing arousal, enhancing brain cell development, and stimulating the central nervous system. It means that even if what we call "tuning up to a morphic field through listening to acoustic waves" is just an effect of the auditory stimulation itself, it's still a very powerful tool.

Regrettably, the field of science in question was severely overlooked. A significant amount of research, including many promising studies with interesting findings, was either unpublished or classified during the Cold War. Nevertheless, there are still numerous studies accessible through public medical databases. At the same time, we cannot ignore the dozens of statistically significant reports from individuals around the world.

Skeptical point of view

Now. Let's leave aside auditory stimulation (as its influence on the human organism is already well-proved) and energetic programming-related theories. Let's be a skeptical biologist and assume that morphic fields never existed. Including that what "guides the cell" to develop in a particular way is still unknown but related to genetics strictly (and only). What if morphic fields are "just a placebo"?

Even a placebo isn't "just a placebo." This is a phenomenon that must always be considered very seriously and a powerful tool used daily by physicians (e.g., fake surgical procedure). That so-called placebo/nocebo effect by extremum is capable of curing diseases, triggering severe stress responses (ending up in hospitalization), or even causing the so-called false pregnancy. The intention to trigger specific bodily processes is a form of subconscious programming that accurately allows modulating the target process. It is indispensable to consider the placebo effect with the utmost seriousness.

My favorite study was officially published in 1972. Two scientists, G. Ariel and W. Saville, have proved that the intake of placebo anabolic-androgenic steroids had a tremendous effect on athletes' performance, peaking their strength just like actual androgenic-anabolic steroids. No wonder the placebo effect is widely used in professional sports. Athletes are often given placebo drugs a few days before a competition, assuming are taking a performance-enhancing agent not banned by WADA or, if doping is allowed, a potent compound like fluoxymesterone (halotestin). Almost every time, it significantly peaks their performance. The fun thing is that it is often a "double-blind trial". Neither the coach nor the athlete knows what drug was provided. They just trusted their crafty nutritionist—the very powerful tool - the human brain. So every time you say, "It's just a placebo," bear in mind the human mind, by extremum, is capable of inducing a false pregnancy (pseudocyesis) ("People with pseudocyesis have many, if not all, symptoms of pregnancy - with the except for an actual fetus.") Therefore, even if you are skeptical, there is a strong need to stay open-minded. Whether the body is being affected through actual morphic fields, the effects of subconscious programming, or auditory stimulation by itself, we should never underestimate their potency.

| Conclusions

During the winter and spring, I dedicated much of my leisure time to reading various books and notes on physiology, biology, and astronomy from reputable sources in the scientific community. Additionally, I explored the realm of parapsychology, delving into topics that modern science has yet to fully explain, such as telepathy, near-death experiences, and psychokinesis. Finally, I had the opportunity to peruse certain CIA documents on these subjects from their declassified archives. Although I had my doubts about morphic programming, every year, I see more and more how full of hubris scientists are and how they forget one of the basic principles - "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." In the entire Universe are dozens of unknown and undiscovered phenomena. Despite our superficial advances in science, we don't understand how the Universe functions, why it exists, what is the 67% of "dark energy" that makes it up, and above all - why we, humans, exist. We still do not know how the Universe works, even though ignorant people claim otherwise. This begs the question: Can modern science provide answers to the questions that have puzzled mankind for centuries?

Let's closely examine scientific mechanisms that have been dismissed by mainstream science. People tend to underestimate the power of the human brain - the most complex and advanced machinery in the entire known Universe.
