People knew about the subconscious mind long before Sig Freud

People who lack this knowledge of the five elements that impact every action of thought, word and deed lack the ability to discern the influence of the subconscious effect of their karma. As a result, those without this discriminating wisdom egotistically believe that they are choosing all their actions and are responsible for the results. They just don’t understand how things really work. They don’t realize that their choices are a result of the influence of the three qualities of purity, dynamic energy and inertia as well as the impact of their past actions which imparts a kind of destiny to the final results. Though it may appear like you have free will, your choices are heavily influenced by thing outside of your immediate control. You do have the choice to perform those actions without desire or attachment, thus removing the cause of karma and encouraging proper choices in the future.
