Free choice, the subconscious, and the computer analogy of the Self as programmer

Frederic suggests choice is only possible without judgment; the Wonders reply choice can be made with judgment but is then not free.

They say real free choice with the mind is possible by relating to the subconscious mind: one can live with the subconscious rather than the conscious mind at the forefront, though the subconscious is not designed to choose, so the conscious mind must be commanded to choose based on the subconscious's broader awareness.

What appears as the subconscious asserting itself is actually the Self using it.

They offer a computer analogy: the conscious mind is RAM, processing and choosing in the immediate moment and then passing things to storage; the subconscious is the hard drive; and the Self is the programmer who tells the RAM to access the subconscious's awareness before making a choice.

Applying this to the earlier point that he had been accommodating the child rather than choosing from his own sense of freedom, they answer that he is the programmer and decides how it works, while acknowledging the analogy is only an aid, not a complete description, and that third-dimensional constraints remain.
