Changing viewpoint
I have changed my views on the conscious and subconscious, a little.
What I have noticed is that while there are literally a million parts to the subconscious for every one part of the conscious, the subconscious is so automatic, non-creative, and unthinking that it's all brawn and no brains.
In size, strength, and life importance, perhaps the subconscious is king, however the subconscious can't really "rule". It carries out orders, but only the conscious mind can change some of those orders or create new ones. The conscious mind is the big picture and the subconscious mind is all the details--working.
What this means is that the concentrated and repeated (inspired) focused thought energy approved by the divine in a form created by the conscious mind (me), will affect the subconscious mind.
I wasn't "getting" the subconscious, it's place in the scheme of things. In many ways the subconscious is a bag of tricks, many or most running on autopilot. Governing the ongoing running of these programs or tricks is pleasure and pain. The subconscious uses both to do its job.
For instance, if I hate my work and keep doing it--bitching and complaining or not--the subconscious knows I am not happy. It feels this physically and emotionally. Impartially, the subconscious has no problem bringing on an illness--more pain--as a solution to changing (or adding to) the unhappy work. The subconscious isn't very brainy or logical you know. (Have you ever woken up and tried to figure out the subconsciously created lunacy we call dreams?) Maybe more than pleasure or pain, the subconscious works to give me what I want...what it thinks I want. So the subconscious reacts like "He/she is always so miserable, I guess growing into more misery is "good", I can help with that." And although at some level the subconscious is into survival and self preservation, I'm not sure it knows when it has gone too far. When the damage is too great to repair. The subconscious is not the brightest bulb, and with its great power, we've got to try to drive it in safe ways. Paying attention and adjusting.
So using the conscious mind, forever creating and feeding the choicest tidbits of pleasure to the undeveloped landscape--that is me yet to come--can entice the subconscious parts of me down a happier path for all. Rather than, "fore-bemoaned moans" which are past subconscious memories emerging to create a sad and repetitive future by recreating for me a series of lousy "nows", I can consciously create future memories, "fore-joyous joy" or "fore-pleasing pleasures". (I like feeling pleasure upon pleasure.)
This can be done. I was doing something like this for awhile but stopped. Now I'm back!! I think.
