Does the Seer Arise with the Seen?

What exactly do you mean when you say ‘what’s being seen’ and ‘the finite mind’ arise simultaneously? Rupert says: ‘The seer and the seen arise together and subside together . . . When I say the seer, in this case, I’m referring to the apparently limited consciousness that is each of our minds. I’m not suggesting that consciousness arises with perception, nor am I suggesting that the essence of the world arises as a result of perception . . . The appearance of the world, the way what the world really is, appears to us, arises when the faculty of seeing arises. And when the faculty of seeing subsides, the appearance of the world, not the reality of the world, the appearance of the world subsides.’
