Thinking that we may find it useful to consider the possibility of the sub conscious functioning as the guardian and initial administrator of a foundation blueprint aiding transition from non-being to being after birth.

This "blueprint" containing information regarding what forms of sustenance and conditions are required for the development of the emerging "self". The subconscious is able to recognise if these forms of sustenance and conditions are actually being successfully provided/absorbed, and if not the subconscious has the capability to instruct/communicate to the emerging "self" that it needs to find and develop compensatory means of providing such sustenance and conditions for "itself".

Such "means" consequently becoming embedded components of subsequent behavioural traits for that "self".

Added as edit:-

It would be a major evolutionary shift, if, in the model as suggested, the role of the subconscious were to be expanded to being concerned not only for the welfare of an individual "self" but also for a collective "self". Perhaps compassion is en route?
