The subjective initiative of human beings, also known as the initiative of consciousness, refers to the unique ability and function of human beings to actively reflect and transform the world. Consciousness exists in our minds, and people can only express it in words and record it in words, but can't directly act on objective things. Although simple consciousness will not cause changes in objective things, consciousness is skillful.

That is, as an invisible force, it constantly tells people what to do and how to do it. In practice, consciousness always instructs people to use one material thing to act on another material thing, thus causing changes in the concrete form of material. This kind of power is people's subjective initiative.
