The subconscious does not exist. If it did, psychoanalysis would not work. According to a friend of mine who although specialized in cognitive behavioral therapy, had some training in it while she as getting her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, the subconscious is New Age bullshit and was literally never mentioned in any book. There are excuses of it being another word, but that only confuses people. According to Freud, the creator of psychoanalysis, "If someone talks of subconsciousness, I cannot tell whether he means the term topographically -- to indicate something lying in the mind beneath consciousness -- or qualitatively -- to indicate another consciousness, a subterranean one, as it were. He is probably not clear about any of it. The only trustworthy antithesis is between conscious and unconscious." PÆonU (talk) 18:01, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Goal Accomplished I wanted this article either deleted or fixed. This AfD helped light the fire under your guys' asses. Like many other New Age articles, this was written poorly and unless fixed, doesn't belong on an encyclopaedia. Perhaps stupid ideas come from the subconscious? Who knows, but I sure as hell know that until I can move objects with my mind or win the lottery by picturing my numbers on a TV screen, the mind, especially a non-existent part of the mind, cannot affect the physical world.
