We often perceive the world in terms of duality, black and white, right and wrong, up and down, and so on.
A perspective based on duality tends to create an oppositional with us, or against us, frame of reference.

A triunity reveals another perspective, a synthesis of both sides of the opposing aspects of the duality. For example most arguments, or debates do not finish successfully because the sides involved are either attacking the others position or defending their own, rather than synthesising the best that both sides have to offer

The potential for enlightenment must have always existed in our environment regardless of intellectual prowess. In other words it exists as a present ground continuity.
Our perceptual window into the environment is reduced through negative thoughts and emotions as well as through general conditioning and habits. Yet beyond this, what we are left with are present senses, present positive thoughts and present feelings as the keys to a larger perceptual window into the present ground continuity.
Potentially an ancient tribal person living in the fullness of their present senses, feelings and positive thoughts, without too much tribal cultural conditioning could have experienced enlightenment.
