I think the funny thing here is G man is that similar to consciousness with folks not knowing exactly what it is, the same goes in a way for the unconscious self / mind .
For one requires to be conscious of something to know what that something is .
So in a way the unconscious mind is a bit of an enigma isn't it . We can speak about it, we can associate stuff to it, but to actually realise what it is, one would have to be conscious of it and by it's nature one cannot
How I see it or refer to it from a basic standing point is that most don't remember what they did last night when the spirit left the body .
So we have a situation where there is conscious awareness of that, but one fails to remember any of it .
So where is that experience had held? Where are the memories of that held?
This is just one small aspect of the unconscious self / mind where there is a knowing and a unknowing at the same time .
So there is a conscious and an unconscious aspect at play here ..
