what is "work in consciousness"?

[Sacred Fool]

My point here is that though some work is accomplished with the subconcious, the work of polarizing is done exclusively by the conscious direction of the attention which can embed the intention of service to other (or self) into our habits so that even when the consciousness is waning and the subconscious is waxing, we will have a force with which we may continue in the direction of our path (polarity).

That's an interesting point.  What indicates to you that it holds any truth?

It contradicts my experience. One can do "magical workings," indeed, either positive or negative, entirely on a subconscious level and become conscious of them later on.  It's kind of weird, I'll admit, but it can happen if your subconscious has a mind of its own, as it were.

If you don't mind a personal note, other self, you're placing a rather heavy emphasis on the "power" of a personal consciousness, when that's actually a fairly weak thing in and of itself.  It really begins to blossom, in my view, when it vibrates sympathetically with its "larger self," however that may be felt and interpreted.  Conscious direction of intention is a significant offering made by the ego-self or by some other, more interesting portion of self, yet it remains a small part of the action within the entire web of work in consciousness, I would say.  In other words, yes, it's kind of cool to see what you can see and do what you think you might be doing, but as faith deepens and the desire to serve opens out, these things lose much of their glamour.  This leaves one bereft of a sense of the importance of "conscious attention," (bummer, I agree) yet most happy to be participating in a structure far surpassing in beauty what one could have possibly concocted with scope conscious attention limiting the field of work.
