Black Box World (47)

Therefore, whenever any dharma changes, the external object-aspect must change first, and then the changed external object-aspect is transmitted through the gross sense faculties (faux faculties) to the supreme faculties (indriya), thereby forming the inner object-aspect. But my hand cannot touch the book that exists as the external object-aspect, so how could I first make the book of the external object-aspect change, thereby causing the book of the inner object-aspect to change? Take another example: when the six consciousnesses create the karma of killing a person, the six consciousnesses can only contact a person's inner object-aspect, not the person's external object-aspect. So how do the six consciousnesses cause the person's external object-aspect to also perish? Moreover, it is the person's external object-aspect that perishes and is destroyed first, and only afterward can the person's inner object-aspect subsequently perish or be destroyed. Because the inner object-aspect derives from the external object-aspect and manifests in dependence on the external object-aspect, it must certainly be that the external object-aspect changes first, and only then can the inner object-aspect follow and change. The great secret hidden here is left for those with the karmic affinity to investigate diligently; no more ink shall be spent on it here.
