I believe Ra uses these terms interchangeably. If "subconscious" means "beneath the conscious awareness" and "unconscious" means "apart from the conscious awareness," then the two are synonymous, so long is it is recognized that the only place to go is down.

Sure.

I agree with all of this except the last. #9, being a body archetype, must refer to the body. So I take this archetype as practical intelligence: the knowledge you have about how to do stuff in the world. If this is what you mean by your statement, then I agree. However, I think we learn lots of stuff about the mind in school, too. Philosophy is a good example of an academic kind of intelligence oriented toward mind rather than body. This kind of intelligence is won through the union of #1 and #2.
