I've recently started reading a book called Grow Rich with the Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy.  In my interpretation, the subconscious mind is responsible for everything that is projected into your reality.  It communicates directly with the conscious mind in a way that it gives the conscious mind it's desire then it's up to the conscious mind on how it chooses to fulfill the desire.  

If the conscious mind can relent to the subconscious mind and allow for it to dictate the action items necessary to fulfill the desire then the cycle is complete and the desire is fulfilled.  If the conscious mind feels that control and action is required on its part to source the fulfillment then it leads to a continuous cycle of lack.  

Take a quick listen and experiment for yourself.
