Here's some info i found

""Are There Subliminal Influences in Daily Life ?
We are unaware of a great many influences on our behavior. The vast majority of these influences are not hidden in any special sense, but are simply things that we do not generally pay attention to. Social psychologists have identified many of these sneaky forms of influence. Some are fairly obvious, such as the wearing of a uniform or a white lab coat to inspire unearned credibility. Others can be very subtle, nearly undetectable, such as the dilation of our pupils while talking to each other. The effect of these influences on our behavior usually goes unrecognized, even though we could detect most of them if were looking for them. Most do not carry specific verbal information, they carry gut-level emotional messages that can and do sway our decision-making processes, and the way we interpret any verbal messages that accompany them. Some, however, carry very sophisticated verbal messages, such as the influence of myth and metaphor. ""

And Finally the Great Leonardo Da Vinci Said

Leonardo da Vinci: "If you look at walls that are stained or made of different kinds of stones . . . you can think you see in them certain picturesque views of mountains, rivers, rocks, trees, plains, broad valleys, and hills of different shapes. You can also find in them battles and rapidly moving figures, strange faces and costumes, as well as an infinite number of things. . . . "
