“Consciousness is the one and only reality, not  figuratively but actually. This reality may for the sake of clarity be  likened unto a stream which is divided into two parts, the conscious and  the subconscious. In order to intelligently operate the law of  consciousness it is necessary to understand the relationship between the  conscious and the subconscious. The conscious is personal and  selective; the subconscious is impersonal and non-selective. The  conscious is the realm of effect; the subconscious is the realm of  cause. These two aspects are the male and female divisions of  consciousness. The conscious is male; the subconscious is female. The  conscious generates ideas and impresses these ideas on the subconscious;  the subconscious receives ideas and gives form and expression to them.  By this law-first conceiving an idea and then impressing the idea  conceived on the subconscious-all things evolve out of consciousness;”
