Subconscious conditioning is really shaping. For instance one culture will crave mud worms and savour the slimy feeling of them sliding down their throats, wriggling all the way. Never having a desert, or trying to resist junk food doesn't even cross their mind. Another culture will throw up at the mere thought of eating the same worm, and will expend much energy thinking about deserts, or resisting junk food.

When I studied Indigenous Australian language, it was an awesome, enlightening experience. I was all ready to learn how to speak a local dialect. The subject and lessons were so different to what I envisaged. It was about Indigenous Australian belief regarding langauge and communication compared to Western belief.

The focus was on communication and the language of environment well before conception. Indigenous Australians believe much has already been communicated and understood at the time conception occurs, and the conception is the sum of all that. Then the developing foetus is subject to constant communication and language during its whole time in the womb. By birth it is the sum of all that. They view our focus on the spoken word as not recognising the big picture. That words are a tiny part of communication.

I believe it is really important to understand subconscious conditioning, and its role in colouring conscious thought and awareness.
