The things already stored in the subconscient will be emptied one day – but what about future impressions? How is one to deal with them in advance so as to prevent them from entering?
If the subconscient is emptied, it would mean that you have got beyond the ordinary consciousness and the subconscient itself is prepared to be an instrument of the Truth.
If you are perfectly indifferent about it that is sufficient. The impressions that come up constantly from the subconscient are of things in which the mind (or the vital) was interested – e.g. family, relatives, friends, past surroundings or occupations etc.
