i submit, that if you access the total you (conscious, sub-conscious, spiritual and cosmic, plus whatever else we are) you might find that the experienced world is not out of your control, but rather respoding to your view that it is out of control.
all of what we are is reflected back to us by the universe. i believe that i control my reality with the assistance of the universal consciousness(es). i project my beliefs and expectations onto my reality and they are reflected back as experience.
i do not believe the subconsciousis ugly or unfriendly, it is a part of you and repressing that part of you may prove to be unhealthy. better to embrace and deal with all the supposed dark corners of the psyche. they aren't bad. when exposed to the light of examination they will give you better understanding of yourself and might offer insight for handling the chaos.
what have you got to lose? experiment! try looking at how you created your past experiences. accept resposibility for your birth, etc and see what you find. it don't cost nuttin.

On the contrary, I lived that way for thirty years. It made me very unhappy. I found it liberating when the truth of the chaos of existence dawned upon me.
As for what's in my subconcious, I think I am in a better position to know than you. There are things there that are only redeeming as a reservoir to be drawn upon in dire need. I do not say they are evil or wrong, just ugly and unfriendly. To dispute this is to dispute the definitions of words, not the existence of those aspects. I never said my subconciousness was ugly or unfriendly in its entirety, far from it. It is mostly comprised of the casual virtues that benefit any society. Regardless, I did not choose this subconcious. If I am capable of manipulating it, it is because of genetically inherited intellect, education and societal experience.
