WORDS MAKE PEOPLE

HOW selective are we about the words that go into our subconscious thinking?

Subliminal seduction has been around for quite some time, tough most people till have no knowledge or understanding of it.   The 80’s some parents did start getting an idea of its use in what was referred to as backmasking.

Backmasking is a recording technique in which a sound or message is recorded backward onto a track that is meant to be played forward. Backmasking is a deliberate process….

Backmasking is when the lyrics of a song seem fairly innocent, but when they are played backwards they promote satanic messages.  There are many instances of these songs by such artist as:  Pink Floyd; Judas Priest; Jay-Z—even the Beatles and others. Backmasking became such an issue that several states introduced legislation against it because:  "CAN MANIPULATE OUR BEHAVIOR WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE….”

There is a very materialistic history associated with the English word g-o-d.  Remember, the English language itself is only 1200 years old and it was born out of warring materialist environment.

Connotations of the English spelling of g-o-d are reflective of this environment. 

In modern times there was a common expression of “Godspeed”, which was usually applied when someone was going on a journey.  This is the shortened form of “goodspeed” which was used when someone was going on a business trip in the late medieval English speaking countries.  Its meaning was of the speaker saying to the one spoken to that he/she whished him/her success in the journey—which was usually a business trip.

That has carried over in our current description of “goods” to be bought and/or sold.  It was merged with the word “gold”, the most damming evidence of that is in the fact that all American currency was originally backed by and gold (of course it no longer is) and in that every piece of American currency from the penny to the $100 bill (bills of higher demonization have long ago been discontinued) have engraved or printed on them the words:  “IN GOD WE TRUST”.

It really was not about g-o-d.  It was about:  g-o-l-d; and g-o-o-d-s.  You can research it to obtain all of the details.

More harmful in its connotation is the play on the human intelligence.  Amongst English speaking people the usually first words and most important words they learn are:   MOM; DAD; GOD.

In the research of the history of word formation many interesting things can be found regarding letters and sounds.  Consider synonyms, antonyms, and homonyms.  Now in the word M-O-M, if you spell it backwards you still get M-O-M (the concept of a mother).

If you spell D-A-D backwards you still get the D-A-D (the concept of a father).

But spell G-O-D backwards …..

The connotation is a diabolic play on the human intelligence—especially when in the framework of the science of subliminal seduction, which is designed to control ones thinking patterns without their awareness.  Any of you involved in or have ever been involved in advertising should know this.

Take into consideration the clamor and uproar when people found out what a lot of the lyrics in acid rock were actually satanic messages when played “backwards”.  The term applied to it is “backmasking
