Conscious vs. Subconscious

I often read articles that talk about the "conscious mind" vs. the "subconscious mind", as if they were two different areas of the brain and/or two different modes of thought. However, now that I've posted a metaphor for consciousness (the Conga dance metaphor), I can describe how I view the two terms.

As I mentioned previously, I believe that we become conscious of a thought as it gains in momentum. In the dance metaphor, the dance club becomes more conscious of the Conga as its gains more influence and as more people join it. So there isn't a "conscious mind", there are just growing structures that we become more conscious of. Similarly, there isn't a "subconscious mind", there are just structures that haven't grown powerful enough for us to become conscious of them.

To summarize, I think that ideas/thoughts/structures are reacting all the time in our mind, and some grow to the point that we become conscious of them. All the other reactions that haven't reached that point yet would be termed "subconscious".
