The root cognitive dissonance

The key cognitive dissonance that lies at the heart of the human condition is the belief/sense of being separate from the environment. The sense of being a separate entity apart and distinct from the surroundings is the root cognitive error. 

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about it other than keep reminding ourselves of our basic/root cognitive dissonance. To be aware at all times that our perception is flawed. Since our perception is relativistic.

To be conscious of this root error is all that is possible. Existence is non-relativistic. Existence is absolute. Existence is non-dual. But our perception is dual and relativistic. This is the holy miracle. That dualistic perception itself arises from the non dual reality.
