Imaginative Creative Expression(both visual & aural) and its effect on the Psyche;the Center of one's Being,call it a soul or plane of awareness...whatever.
With a slight modification of delivery(i.e. mass consumption),it is now possible to expound that creative thought or notion over a multitude of people AND --to an extent--influence their mode of thought in a manner that the composer has outlined; as to participate in
either the negative or positive(or both) aspects of that given composition.
Which is to say that the simplistic theories of Suggestion(hypnosis & subliminal
messages) are merely a cover sheet to an even more complex method that, at its most "efficient", cannot be controlled;much like the weather.
That is not to state that brainwashing is not absolute in its given practice, but Suggestion
on a higher plane that requires a willing participant rather than a crude test subject IS the
highest form of interaction/communication of the Collective Unconcious of those involved;even if the intent is real or percieved,this "tapping" into an unseen spiritual plane outside the body (yet in it) can refract the extreme tendencies of Man and Woman and physically manifest itself in a world that has been set off course;very much like a kid fucking around with a firearm;SAFETY IS NOT GUARANTEED WITHOUT PROPER SUPERVISION.
