EXPLANATION

A subliminal message is a message and signal that are sent unconsciously, below the normal limits of perception. Subliminal messages can be inaudible to the conscious mind, but subliminal messages are audible to the unconscious mind. Subliminal messages can be perceived as an image that is transmitted briefly, known by the unconsciousness and unknown by the conscious mind.  

To clear out any misunderstanding, explaining a subliminal message does not need to always talk about unconsciousness or consciousness. The truth is, the subliminal messages may be perceived by the deeper part of the single integrated mind. The subliminal messages can be in the form of image and sound.

On a daily basis, subliminal messages are usually used to advertise products and services, and also for propaganda purposes (party political broadcasts). The term subliminal message itself was first being popularized in a book titles The Hidden Persuaders. The Hidden Persuaders was written by Vance Packard and published in the year of 1957.
