Always remember, your personality can never be seen "naked" - always others see it completely clothed in the mentality (the thoughts you think and express) it wears.

Your mental mold - your general trend of thinking - is the dress for your personality.

However, nothing affects the subconscious unless it is packed with vital interest for us. I can say, "We are meeting here at the Skyroom," an obvious remark that would neither interest nor excite you.

On the other hand, if I were to suddenly say "Good Heavens, I've just heard they're shutting down the elevator
