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.

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