After morning meditation I was thinking about the Subconscious mind being the store house of knowledge as Tohei states in the ki saying. It occurred to be that alliances shift and impressions of people may change over time, but the seeds of negative thought, hatred and bigotry last a very, very long time. These thoughts continue to feed our anger and resentment, hardening our hearts and minds long after there is any reason to. Essentially we are perfecting closing our minds instead of opening them.

Hmmm...good point. It seems to me its a lot like practicing a technique incorrectly over a long period of time and then finding that the incorrectness has developed into a habit. We then find ourselves in the position of having to override the bad habit by conscious effort each time we do the technique. Same way with mind. It makes a whole lot of practical sense to me to cease generating new bad habits as much as possible.
