Perhaps we can use the term “conscious" for an entity in the third dimension as:  A state of awareness of self and other, where the complete range of possibilities is made available, and “subconscious" as the portion of those possibilities that is not accessible to the entity in a given present moment of its experience.

There is also the state of “unconsciousness", where the being is unable to respond to external stimuli, which for our purposes here may include the states of sleep and coma. The question can then be looked at as a proportionate use of the conscious state over the subconscious state.

We utilize habits to respond to the modern catalyst of survival. This allows us to act through our subconscious mind, without direction from our conscious attention. This “autopilot” function is not a bad thing, it can even help us improve our attention, by allowing the mind to “attend" to other things. But then, we are dependent upon the work of the conscious state that established those habits in the first place to direct our attention.  

Polarity is direction given to those actions through faith and attention over time, which can overturn the balance of subconscious and conscious experience and result in a development of the higher chakras.

When we are harvestable in the third dimension, our attention is no longer guided by our wish, but by our will, no longer through habits are were acting, but through our own intentions. Wanderers may not find as much success with certain kinds of conscious work, as they might not have the deep connection with the Yellow Ray vehicles.

          75.24: “(Ra) There are many Wanderers whom you may call adepts who do no conscious work in the present incarnation. It is a matter of
           attention.  
          One may be a fine catcher of your game sphere, but if the eye is not turned as this sphere is tossed then perchance it will pass the entity by. If it
          turned its eyes upon the sphere, catching would be easy."

The Service to _____  polarities are not just about good and bad, the positive and negative forces are used to strengthen the faith and the attention. When we are comfortable and happy it is easy to become less conscious- when we are making a sacrifice of our time or energy doing something that is not a part of our habits, already established, to benefit others, something we may not want to do or like to do, but intentionally, we can be brought back to a more conscious and aware state of being.  

From 42.12:

            “… What are the techniques of programming which the higher self uses to ensure that the desired lessons are learned or          
             attempted by the third-density self in our third-density incarnational laboratory?

             Ra: I am Ra. There is but one technique for this growing or nurturing of will and faith, and that is the focusing of the attention. The attention
           span of those you call children is considered short. The spiritual attention span of most of your peoples is that of the child. Thus it is a matter
           of wishing to become able to collect one’s attention and hold it upon the desired programming.

          This, when continued, strengthens the will. The entire activity can only occur when there exists faith that an outcome of this discipline is
         possible."



So we start with short attention spans, but as we wish for the power of will because of faith, we keep returning the attention to the desire for a higher state of being. The attention is directed by our wish, our wish is strengthened by our faith. Our faith is based on our knowledge. Once our will is strong enough it allows us to direct the attention beyond our simple wish. We thusly develop habits so that even when the light of consciousness fades, our activity continues to be guided by this force.
