You have told us that we are cut off from our deep subconscious, and that is the origin of many of our diverse emotional and behavioral issues. Yet the deep subconscious can communicate with us emotionally through the corpus of the body in the form of stress and anxiety. Does this happen in a reactionary manner and without thought? Does it respond to any direct stimulus experienced by the physical body? How aware is the deep subconscious of what is happening to the incarnated consciousness that it is tasked with protecting?

The deep subconscious is aware of what the conscious self is thinking and doing. Whether it can fully take this to heart will vary. Given the disconnect between those levels of the mind, it has learned from the outset, in infancy, that what it is focused on and thinking about will be ignored by the conscious mind, so it is very aware of being cut off and alone to face its own struggles. So, rather than being in a state of ignorance, it is in a state of torment all too aware of its isolation and the dilemma it faces, because it sees so many things that are unfair and of a threatening nature, and that may become overwhelming. It will feel the emotions being triggered by the upper levels of the mind and their ruminations and agonizing over prior hurtful events. So, in effect, the deep subconscious becomes the victim of other levels of the mind who are unaware of this disconnected part and its unhappiness much of the time. The deep subconscious cannot do much to change things. The emotions it creates do constitute a cry for help and a signaling that something is wrong. Over a period of time, especially, it may turn out that people seek help and are given assistance that helps bring some relief, but this is catch-as-catch-can and is difficult to rely on. It is frustrating for the conscious mind as well that what it attempts to accomplish, for example, through meeting with a therapist, may end up with getting some assistance but of a more superficial nature than truly needed. This can lead to frustration, and despair even, and is quite understandable looked at dispassionately, but the person will simply be living in a state of ignorance and unaware that a large part of their mind is inaccessible, living on its own, and suffering. So the choices of the conscious self will rarely bring about much improvement for serious problems. Again, this points to the need for deep healing that cannot be accomplished working through the conscious self with any kind of healing modality.
