Question:

I have been listening to subliminals for about a month and recently I think if theyre haram.. Like subliminals for lighter skin, blue eyes,.. And it also says that satanic things are not involved in it. Is also listening to electrokinesis subliminals haram ?? It says you can develop your electro powers but are superpowers magic?? Because it is forbidden to learn about magic and use it 

Answer:

There are 2 aspects to your question subliminals and electrokinesis subliminals and superpowers.

1)There is no evidence that subliminals can alter your appearance.

2) There is what is called in Islam Karamaat and Mujiza, Mujiza is a miracle that comes only to the Prophets , Karamaat can come to any Muslim.(Tareekh al islam)

It is reported

Hadhrat Umar once dispatched an army under the leadership of a person named Saariyah. On one occasion, whilst Hadhrat Umar  was delivering the khutbah (in Madinah Munawwarah), he began calling out: O Saariyah, the mountain! 0 Saariyah, the mountain!” When the messenger of that army returned, he said: 0 Ameerul Mu’mineen, when we engaged the enemy they initially overpowered us. All of a sudden we heard a person calling out: ‘0 Saariyah, the mountain! 0 Saariyah, the mountain!’ We then used the mountain as our rear support, and Allaah Ta’ala caused the enemy to be defeated (Narrated by Ahamad in Fadaa’il al-sahaabah 1/269)

That is Karamaat  and that is a communication that Allah Ta’ala gave to the Sahaba because of the level they reached but we don’t control these capacities. Miracles can come to both Muslim and nonmuslims so IF someone can control electricity its from Allah Ta’ala and he is the giver of it. If magic is used to gain such ability then it is haram.
