The Unconscious (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not the infinite form of secrecy, but a simple box containing secrets. It is a box that can never be apprehended in itself, that is always concluded from something else, that is always inferred, concealed from the system of perception.
