Using Consciousness-only to Explain the Principles of Quantum Mechanics

Quantum mechanics describes: a stationary particle decays, producing two photons that travel in opposite directions over extremely vast distances. When one photon is measured or touched, the other photon responds accordingly. Why is this?

Because the two photons share the same origin, coming from the same particle. This particle is composed of the four great elements seeds of a single tathāgatagarbha, and there are intimate connections among the four great elements seeds, no matter how far apart they are. In fact, the distance between the two photons is empty space, and empty space is composed of the element of space. The element of space fundamentally does not exist; the element of space has no distance, and there is nothing there at all. Therefore, there is fundamentally no such thing as "distance" between the two photons. No matter how far apart they appear in the mundane physical world, in essence they still belong to the same particle and to the same tathāgatagarbha, possessing the same functions and effects. Thus, when one changes, the other undergoes the same change, because they share the same origin.

As for the matter of the entire world, it is composed of the four great elements combined from sentient beings of collective karma, and of course there are intimate connections among all things, such that pulling one thread may set off a thousand-pound reaction. However, this intimacy is far less intimate than the connection between photons from the same particle. Since empty space has no such thing, no such dharma, then is there still time? In fact, if each of us strives a little harder and exerts a little more effort, we would reach the ultimate of emptiness. Why is it that this effort just cannot be exerted? When will we be able to exert it?
