The occult often mysticizes and worships the subconscious mind, and now New Age has hopped on the bandwagon too.
Why?
Why do they think that the unconscious has the powers of a god that we can unlock?
Because the unconscious has the powers of a god over THEM and THEIR MIND.
They fear and respect that power, but in fact it is only over them that the unconscious holds power, and not over all...
I see the unconscious mind as just a big 'pile' of memories, beliefs and desires that you don't happen to be thinking about at the present time. There's nothing mystical about it.
What do you mean when you say the unconscious mind has power over its owner?
Of course the unconscious mind has power. If it were otherwise, I could stay awake all night.

Your sexual preferences happen to be dictated by this "pile".
