In total, Totality in Buddhism is the functioning of all 18
Dhatus. As Thusness comments further, an insight practitioner
further does away with mental labeling and perceptions, and
experiences 18 Dhatus as 18 Dhatus (as Thusness and my Dharma
teacher used to say, a practitioner only has the first 2 skhandas
in play, while perception, volition, and dualistic consciousness is
dissolved through practise, insight and bare awareness), only sense
awareness and objects of sense awareness.

The Tathagata
"The Tathagata a worthy one, rightly self-awakened directly
knows earth as earth. Directly knowing earth as earth, he
does not conceive things about earth, does not conceive things in
earth, does not conceive things coming out of earth, does not
conceive earth as 'mine,' does not delight in earth. Why
is that? Because the Tathagata has comprehended it to the end, I
tell you.
"He directly knows water as water... fire as fire... wind as
wind... beings as beings... gods as gods... Pajapati as Pajapati...
Brahma as Brahma... the luminous gods as luminous gods... the gods
of refulgent glory as gods of refulgent glory... the gods of
abundant fruit as the gods of abundant fruit... the Great Being as
the Great Being... the dimension of the infinitude of space as the
dimension of the infinitude of space... the dimension of the
infinitude of consciousness as the dimension of the infinitude of
consciousness... the dimension of nothingness as the dimension of
nothingness... the dimension of
neither-perception-nor-non-perception as the dimension of
neither-perception-nor-non-perception... the seen as the seen...
the heard as the heard... the sensed as the sensed... the cognized
as the cognized... singleness as singleness... multiplicity as
multiplicity... the All as the All...
"He directly knows Unbinding as Unbinding. Directly knowing
Unbinding as Unbinding, he does not conceive things about
Unbinding, does not conceive things in Unbinding, does not conceive
things coming out of Unbinding, does not conceive Unbinding as
'mine,' does not delight in Unbinding. Why is that? Because the
Tathagata has comprehended it to the end, I tell you.
"The Tathagata a worthy one, rightly self-awakened directly
knows earth as earth. Directly knowing earth as earth, he does not
conceive things about earth, does not conceive things in earth,
does not conceive things coming out of earth, does not conceive
earth as 'mine,' does not delight in earth. Why is that? Because he
has known that delight is the root of suffering & stress, that
from coming-into-being there is birth, and that for what has come
into being there is aging & death. Therefore, with the total
ending, fading away, cessation, letting go, relinquishment of
craving, the Tathagata has totally awakened to the unexcelled right
self-awakening, I tell you.

That is what the Blessed One said. Displeased, the monks did not
delight in the Blessed One's words.
