It is not as if the unconscious is independent of the conscious mind. Habits and reflexes can be learned with conscious effort and then performed “on autopilot”. That’s how people drive, play sports and.musical instruments etc. The conscious mind is too slow to.perform such behaviours, and they are not instinctive either, so they are trained reflexes. There is a two way causal relationship between the unconscious and the conscious mind: the unconscious mind prompts the conscious mind , and the conscious mind trains the unconscious.
