Subliminal Messages
Subliminal messages embedded in language can influence your subconscious. The etymology and hidden meanings of words carry the power to shape belief systems, behaviors, and perceptions.
The influence of written language on belief systems is not a modern concept—it’s rooted in history. Consider the Book of the Dead, an ancient Egyptian funerary text, and the Book of Shadows in Wiccan tradition. Both serve as original grimoires (remember this is where the word grammar comes from)—repositories of spells, rituals, and esoteric knowledge. These texts demonstrate how written words have long been used to codify and transmit the power of language, shaping individual and collective experiences.
This power didn’t end in the ancient world. What if I told you that Black's Law Dictionary—the authoritative legal dictionary in the United States—functions in much the same way? While ostensibly a legal reference, it is, in essence, a modern grimoire. By defining legal terms, it creates a framework of reality and binds those who adhere to it, but who doesn’t adhere to the law?
Words, whether in ancient texts or legal dictionaries, are tools of immense power. They codify reality, embed meaning which creates and binds you to belief.
