Ocean isn't concerned with writing "true" statements, and this idea is applicable to reading her post.
Is the unconscious the ultimate of the unknown? I don't think so.
Also, is learning based on prior experience? I don't think so.
What I think you are saying is that the ego sees where it is and where it wants to go and must, through an act of acceptance, move across the boundary in order to register a 'known something.'
Sometimes this is the case, but great 'knowns' are achieved without ever an ego contemplation. I think there exist 'unknowns' to the unconscious as well.
