November 27th, 2011What You Read Becomes Subconscious
November 25th, 2011
Reading is a lot more powerful an influence than you might think. You choose to read the book, then the book chooses what to do with you. Avid readers of Best Sellers of a certain common thread, those written mainly to make money, slowly become less capable to act for themselves and become more dependent on others, though they often try to cover it up as societal interdependence, the old “team player” guise. The key seems to be in the aspect of reading called comprehension. If people read solely for data, they have minds that could read at an astonishing thousand to ten thousand words per minute. But if they are to follow a plot as in a clever story, they have to slow down and fanaticize. It’s not just slowing down. Much more mental activity takes place and the subject becomes deeply absorbed in the experience, much like he or she would in something they had chosen to undertake. The result is deep absorption in what is called the subconscious. Perhaps most publishers are unaware of the control they exert. Copyright (c) 2005 by Paul AL Hall. All rights reserved.
