Everything that is manifested in the concrete must preexist in the abstract. Majority of the abstract is unconscious & beyond any control.
To put it more poetically, one could even say that what appears as consciousness is simply unconsciousness playing a game with itself.

To understand or control any variable, you need to define it. You simply do not know where your consciousness ends & unconsciousness begins.
-
You assume you do and validate this assumptions by virtue of predictability of outcome in your actions and choices, but it's an ASSUMPTION.
-
And you must make that assumption; Otherwise you would be unable to function as an individual in any capacity. Just don't think it's real.

The beauty & mystery of life: We swim in a deep sea of absolute unknowns & uncertainties—yet must act AS IF we had full agency & certainty.
-
Any claim for absolutes is against the very fabric of life itself. The fundamental thing to understand is that there are no absolutes.
-
As there are levels of consciousness (or unconsciousness) so too, everything is graded, for all phenomena are interdependent.
