In my belief system, our subconscious is like a computer, it takes in what we feed it without prejudice. In other words, it *believes* whatever we tell it and, in my belief system, works to manifest what I feed it, i.e. if I say I am tired...my subconscious will work at making sure I AM tired. That's a simplistic example, but works for my purposes.

When I read a book, I can be selective, more easily, between what I read and don't read, what I feed my subconscious and that with which I don't care to "program" it.

When I go to a movie, I have less control with music, dialogue and moving images assaulting my senses and my subconsciousness. Therefore, I am more discerning about what I go see. Do I want to fill my subconscious with negative portrayals and derogatory phrases? No. Will I "become" whatever this movie purports, if I go to it? No, of course not, but it does myself, my spirit, my soul no good to fill it with negative crap, so I will not go see this movie.

I am NOT a purist nor a prude. I do see movies with violence, language, etc., esp. when I feel they are important in context and done well, i.e. with artistic merit. I believe in striving for a positive balance.
