That was an excellent read, and both articles do make both interesting and definitive points. The thing that interested me the most was in the first article about consciously confronting subconscious struggles in a rational way, leading to actually changing subconscious thought, and internal struggles. It leads me to believe that the subconscious mind is actually very malleable, because it's constantly thinking, considering, and extrapolating on ideas, thoughts, and emotions, and therefore can be gently guided into thinking differently based on the techniques listed through conscious intervention.
