Namaste.

I cannot agree with you that the Higher Self is the Unconscious or subconscious -

I would like to hear your thoughts here - perhaps our referents are different.

This leads to the issue of the Collective Unconscious - is this then the "higher self" of humanity? I don't think so.

My reading of classic works of kabbala, hermeticism ,etc suggest that Intention is most integral - though not the only factor.

Direct energy directly? I still don't know quite what you are trying to describe. Would you describe "indirectly"?
