To Dave Hudson: I believe that if you ask most psychologists, the unconscious shapes the conscious more than the other way around. Your unconscious is much slower acting, but much more accurate. If there is an entity within you that holds an objective opinion, it is the unconscious. To put it another way, if there is a conflict between your conscious and unconscious, your unconscious is more likely to win out. As an aside, this phenomenon is exploited by advertisers. John.
