Is our subconscient turned particularly towards Ignorance like the lower vital?

It is like the rest of the nature, only less conscious – it admits whatever comes into it.

It is only if the mind is silent that the subconscient can be empty. What has to be done is to get all the old ignorant unyogic stuff out of the subconscient.

The subconscient is the support of habitual action – it can support good habits as well as bad.
