LESSON III.

In my second lesson I intended to speak of subconscious action, but in leading up to it I covered so much space that I concluded to defer the topic to this lesson.

Various writers use the term, subconscious, in different ways. With some it seems to indicate, what I should call instead, the super-conscious, or what Emerson called the Over-Soul.

That is not what I mean by the sub-conscious, for I would use it to denote a mental power governing what is known as the involuntary action of the body, such as the beating of the heart, the circulation of the blood, digestion , or any process not immediately dependent on or controlled by the will. The act of walking is largely subconscious, while the direction in which one walks is generally dependent on the will, although it often happens that when one goes in the same direction daily the feet will seem to turn corners of their own accord while the mind is fully occupied with other things.

The subconscious mind is a bundle of habits, and habits of long duration, at that. The subconscious mind contracts habits of disease, that is a part of it gets to moving in a wrong direction
