Feeling, thought and will are not in themselves conscious, rather they elicit cnsciousness to varying degrees, ad in a sense, they serve consciousness somewhat blindly so that it can in return maintain them in their peculiar ongoing relations. That is why these faculties are without much insight into themselves - thoughts do not know where they come from, feelings are always being surprised by their own turnings, and will being the least conscious of all does its work in spite of the interference of the other two. The division of experience into these parts is not an intrinsic slicing-up, but an artefact of the level of understanding that has been gained.
