Is the subconscious just an excuse we use?

Your thoughts readers.

Yes, and its a poor excuse too. Like oooh the devil made me do it? Quite Freudian in the negative sense eg. That excuse runs the risk of psychologically disempowering us with the idea that there are aspects of the self which are somehow divorced from everyday experience and therefore beyond our full control, and by extension that we somehow lack responsibility for what arises from these so called unconcious portions of self. This can make people fatalistic or susceptible to manipulation. By reconnecting with felt experience in the moment, divorced from intellectual judgement in a meta-cognitive state (such as during deep meditation) we can directly experience a fully integrated version of self, free from the assumption of duality between concious and unconcious awareness. At this point the distinction dissolves and its illusory nature is reveled. Many of the sicknesses of body and mind that result from the division of conciousness, which springs from the denied creative potential of our full spectrum of concious being, can then begin to heal.
