Our Basic problem

​Question:  Are you saying that we already SEE the whole/totality, but we get so caught up in the concepts that arise through consciousness appearing to split the whole that we miss the absolute truth/Awareness which together with the relative truths/consciousness comprise Ultimate Truth?  This is, so to speak, our basic problem?

And all we have to do is wordlessly pay attention to the Whole and this imbalance between the two truths will clear up and balance or symmetry will be restored?
 
Response: Yes, basically—at least to your first question.  Just be aware that the terms and phrasings you’re using take things a bit off.  For example, when you write “we already see the Whole/Totality,” or “which together with,” or even “wordlessly pay attention to the Whole,” the implication is that there are things.  What is seen, however, is never an object, as your language might suggest.  We don’t actually see consciousness as something splitting another something called “The Whole.”  Consciousness simply is the divided appearance of the World “we” see, hear, feel, think.  Apart from such appearances there is never any imbalance between the two truths since they’re not exactly two.
