how black holes are born

Imagine a mirror that reflected everything back to itself.  Imagine that this mirror was imperishable and timeless, forever reflecting samsara back to itself, forever remaining in the world without ever being of the world.

Imagine pouring water into water.

Now imagine this mirror looking so deeply into infinity that eventually it goes all the way around itself, and sees itself in the other side of the mirror! As the mirror sees itself, and knows it is seeing itself, it stops being a mirror and becomes a black hole.

This is how Bastante Solipsis Marquez described the Buddhist theory of interdependence, or mutual causality.  Nothing can ever be predicted because everything is constantly causing everything to be, and with infinite variables, everything is always becoming unpredictably new and unknown and promptly growing into something else anyway.

According to quantum mechanics, subject influences object and object influences subject, and influences are mental.  Consciousness influences quantum "particles", which are actually energy waves capable of manifesting physicality at a moment's notice.  In fact, that very act of mentally naming a wave makes a particle out of it!  Mutual causality in the Buddhist theory of Interdependence states that subject and object are co-causes of all effects, while also being  - not merely effected by all causes, but - mere effects of all causes.  No ego needed.

There is, from a technical perspective, in the whole universe, nobody doing anything.  There is merely universal doing.

Mutual causality in the Buddhist theory of Interdependence states that phenomenal reality - that is, the perceiver perceiving the perceived - is mutually causal, and thus nonlinear, paradoxical, and unreal.

The real is found far beneath the waves of the unreal.  Neither the perceiver nor the perceived really exist.  There is no 'you' or 'me'.  The real is found only when empty perceiving perceives empty perceiving, like water being poured into water.

Like I in I.  Like atman being poured as oblation into Brahman.  Like I being poured as oblation into I.

Thoughts were things, he taught the people, and the people began to start seriously having a good time, regardless of circumstance, and low and behold circumstances continued to improve.

And so this Buddhist theory of Interdependence started catching some attention.

He was getting famous as a yoga teacher.
