Summary
One learns deeply, profoundly when one just listens, without any demand or questioning.
Is it possible to see the whole of life?
The totality of something can be seen only non-intellectually, non-consciously.
When making an effort to listen consciously you miss half of it. If you listen unconsciously you take in much more.
The conscious, individual mind can never see the totality.
The unconscious mind is never individual but is the race, the collective experience of man.
How will you look if you do not look through the conscious mind?
You cannot see the totality of life either consciously or unconsciously.
Looking is neither conscious nor unconscious.
