The whole is just always there.

Such magic surrounds us, but it's only magic from the relative. From the absolute, it simply is.

Thanks Slash. Yes there are countless ways of describing it and there is magic as you say surrounding it. The witness and true self is a great one too, or totality, God, Buddha nature..etc. endless terminology. Yes the true self is there and depending on the realisation and our congruence if you like with the relative mind as you say you can describe it up to a point. Some people might use Art to try and express or describe it or others might just leave it alone as it is and live out a 'normal life' whatever that is lol.
