Quote:While indeed the conscious mind has not the power to make choices which do not trace back to the base desires of the total organism, it may nonetheless play a clarifying role in the way conflicting desires are reconciled.I agree.
Quote:What we consciously notice and recognize is at the same time a part of the awareness of our total consciousness.Of course.
Quote: So what I am suggesting is that conscious awareness may play a role in how the unconscious comes to grips with conflicting desire which may in turn lead to a more fruitful reconciliation of desires at an unconsciousness level.Partly, maybe so. But it is still all ultimately entirely determined by unconsciousness.

Okay well, what makes you suspect that it is interpreted incorrectly?
