Subliminal Message

Subtle is open to interpretation, subliminal isn't even meant to be recognized on a conscious level.

I think subliminal stimuli play a part in what's commonly called "intuition".  When I suddenly "know" something even though I can't consciously trace my way to it, and it turns out I'm correct, I think it's because my brain was able to receive *and* process information on a non-conscious level.

I sometimes get these flashes when working logic puzzles (you know, the kind with the grid you mark with Xs and dots), and then when I try to pursue where I got the "intuitive insight", I find that it was two different things I had read but not yet consciously connected.
