The Undeniable Power of Suggestion by Lady Camelot How exactly is Human Psyche effected by trivial "power of suggestion?" When a thought or seed is planted into human mind, psyche responsively triggers a lingering product of that thought. For example, urban legends have been circulated throughout history; in doing so, a mindset is incorporated into psyche, creating a deceitful illusion that cannot distinguish fact from fiction.
Because human brain is so very complex, it is sometimes unable to relinquish imbedded legends and trauma - somewhat like a computer, imbedded with a virus. {Coincidentally, computer virus parallels human psyche because we tend to go around harbored culprit by avoidance, until we are compelled to face it when negligence is no longer available to us.}
Eventually, human psyche begins to hone in on product whereby mind can no longer extract necessary information to adequately function. This, in turn, can cause fatigue, insomnia, phobias and various other problems in one's routine. As mentioned earlier, urban legends can distract human psyche into believing something that is absolutely bogus.
In mind-altering radio broadcast drama by Orson Wells in early 50s, not only was power of suggestion utilized, but also began era of mythical urban legends of modern day society. At that time, human psyche was so dramatically effected by theatrical storyline that thought patterns were directly influenced and seized for duration of broadcast. Or better yet, children are likely portals of trauma-induced, and prison-like mindsets. The human psyche acts as a shield; but eventually, is pierced through power of suggestion, urban legends and unfolding, traumatic events.
In case of a battered child, human psyche tends to harbor feelings of guilt, abandonment and residual anger. But because human psyche has barred all intervention, emotional side of psyche will not transmit these deep-seeded feelings and emotions until a "trigger" allows it to escape. The same applies to phobias induced by childhood events like being stung by a bee, or even adult phobias where one may have been victimized by crime or other issues; another being tall-tale, urban legends that have been passed down from generation to generation. These installations of psyche instinctively retract to hidden corners of our minds.
