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 long 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 is a close connection among the four great elements seeds, no matter how far apart they are. In fact, the space between the two photons is empty space (ākāśa), 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, between the two photons there is fundamentally no such thing as distance. No matter how far apart they are in the mundane physical world, essentially they still belong to the same particle and to the same tathāgatagarbha, possessing the same functions and effects. So when one changes, the other will undergo 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 together from the shared karma of sentient beings, so of course there are close connections among all things, and it may be that pulling one thread sets a thousand jun in motion. However, this closeness is far less intimate than the connection between the photons of the same particle. Since empty space has no such thing, no such dharma, then is there still time? In truth, if each of us tries a little harder and exerts a little more strength, we would reach the utmost of emptiness. Why is it that this strength just cannot be exerted? When will we be able to exert it?
