It is pure psychology. That is where the entire concept of the subconscious originated. All the New Agers did was make an erroneous assumption that the “mind” spoken of in metaphysical writings like the Kybalion is the subconscious but it is not. It is consciousness itself.
No. The subconscious is a subjective concept created in psychology as a way to explain behavior in someone who supposedly had no conscious explanation for that behavior. The idea didn’t even exist until postulated by Janet and Freud, therefor the Kybalion is certainly not referring to it but to the entirety of consciousness.
The “universe” has no need for a subconscious as that would imply that there is a part of the universal mind that is hidden from the rest of the universal mind and that makes no sense whatsoever. The “universe” cannot be omniscient if that were the case.
There is no subconscious. It is all just consciousness.
In the occult, and religion, we have a tendency to throw around subjective terms like “subconscious,” “soul” and “energy” as if they are facts or objective truths, and they are neither, for their objective existence cannot be proven or measured in any way. Ask someone who claims they are the incarnation of some god to perform an observable and measurable feat like flying through the air and they will fail. Ask someone to prove they have a soul, or a subconscious mind, and they will also fail.
Absolutely wrong. What you are describing is the scientific method, not science itself. They are NOT the same thing. Using the scientific method does not make what you are doing scientific at all, and it is a grave mistake to make that assumption .
What you are talking about is what is popularly known as pseudoscience, that is, trying to use the scientific method to validate something that is not, by its very nature, scientific.
The definition of science is “the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.”
You cannot propose a scientific explanation for magick, while at the same time throw around concepts like the subconscious mind, because that concept is not a part of science. Psychology may use the scientific method but it is not considered truly scientific, and has only escaped the realm of pseudoscience within the last 30 years or so.
