The root tantra of the mahasandhi (dzogchen) chittavarga series describes our primordial nature, much like a creator, as a 'King that creates everything' because cit or pure mind from it's inherent energy (rang rtsal) emanates all the diversity of the perceived phenomenal universe. The nature of this diversity is without duality, but this diversity (all thoughts and appearances) are manifestations of mind (cit)--that is they are manifestations of the creative potentiality of Awareness (rigpa'i rtsal). Conventional dualistic consciousness lives in these projections which is really like a holographic dream and are mistaken as objective realities instead of self-creations. As one begins to awaken, one naturally will begin to recognize this unbounded wholeness in terms of the "reflexively open awareness of the dawning of the dynamic display".
