>Personally, I think the concept of "the unconscious" due to it being defined as all that is outside awareness, becomes a catch-all for whatever one wants to make up about it, and is uroboric anyway. If it is outside awareness, how can we be aware of anything it contains or not.

Exodus 33:20-23
Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt
stand upon a rock: And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth
by, that I will put theein a clift of the rock, and will cover thee
with my hand while I pass by: And I will take away mine hand, and thou
shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

One cannot see the entirety of "the unconscious," only small bits at a
time, as it reveals itself to the extent one is able to see it, in the
course of an entire life's journey.
