Exploiting Yourself To Grow Yourself - Understanding Consciousness

[Truth]

From what I understand so far, I mean i haven't really thought about this topic deeply yet but I wanted to get it out there.

I think about the conscious mind, and how it plays such a big part, but yet, such a little part in my daily life, I also think about how my subconscious mind, and how all these things that are going on outside of my awareness. (maybe I don't have enough information on awareness) How does my conscious mind Actually WORK?

Creating concepts, ideas, visions, what is it that I can exploit about my consciousness, what is it's job outside of ego and self. (staying alive) maybe I'm diving into "true self" or "the authentic self" I know awareness is key here, but, consciously, what is this consciousness mechanism? Maybe someone can recommend some books? Give me a little insight here? thanks. (If leo doesn't make the video or maybe already has a video that I don't know about.)
