Balance
Sometimes, I think of things, or say words that are so true, yet these thoughts come to me not through concious contemplation... Rather, they come through the spur of the moment, as a retort to a sweeping statement.
So how much concious control over one's mind is appropriate? If letting the subconcious take over the mind, then one mind find oneself succumbing to the various impulses and desires of the physical body. Otherwise, too much concious control results in a loss of spontaneity.
Some instincts are hotwired into the human mind because they are vital to survival, whilst others have been redered osolete, and have been "out-evolved" by the human body.
In the end, it boils down to balance.
In becoming what you want, you turn into what you aren't. In becoming what you aren't you lose yourself. It's a tricky path we thread.
