Concepts do not translate to the unconscious. Experience does. And since the conscious mind is too slow, too limited, & too resource-intensive, the bulk of life is dictated by the unconscious. The conscious mind has assumed the role of a dictator, but all it can be is a mediator.

Unconscious is a non-deciding part of the entity, serving the entity apparently benevolently but without intelligence or perceptive judgment. It feedbacks to the conscious from the conclave of info and experience which it is fed by the conscious mind - the gatekeeper Conundrum

Your descriptions are accurate but you have it backwards.

I simply have a different view of it. In my experience, it is the (so-called, because the conscious-unconscious dichotomy is only a description insofar as what our being's relation is to them, no its inherent attributes) unconscious that is the intelligent & capable of choice.

It all depends on where you stand. To a person who is unaware, the unconscious appears as without volition, intelligence - the 'dumb' process of 'life'. But it is by understanding and investigating this very process that life, and one's own life, reveals its motives and beauty.

PS Not directed at you, as you are quite an aware individual. The idea is the same as Nietzsche hinted at when he stated that 'there is more wisdom in your body than all your philosophies' — yet he had a very Western mind, so he could only intuit, not overcome.

The essential idea here is perhaps that your experience will tell you all you need to know if you learn how to listen.
