Do not let talking heads reduce any object, event, phenomena, subject of study, or school of thought to just one cause, or as having just one identity.
Nothing in the world is just one thing.
Our conception of objects, although very useful, is not accurate. There are not particular static object at rest in the world.
Although still not accurate, it would be MORE accurate to say that objects are events.
Each object a process.
The problem is that we are also events. Events relating to other events, nested within events- with even more multitudes of events nested within us. While all that I've said so far is true, it is ALSO true that there is just the one process. People usually have a natural predisposition to parse the world as through the lens of multitudes, or units.
"Our" way of viewing, organizing, and describing that one process is limited and formed based upon our location and relation to the rest of the process. We are the process, but due to our positions and configuration it seems most likely that we are very much "down stream" from the origin or source of this process. It is quite possible that the full extent of this process (that which we are and are within) is so beyond our intellectual framework that we are somehow both sources and outputs, oscillating or simultaneously, it is not clear. Fractal mathematics and quantum physics open the possibility that all things are both sources and receivers.
Phenomenologically one can experience these seemingly contradictory states, either oscillating between one and the other, or both at the same time. It is not just an intellectual seeing, but an entire state change of feeling.. Yoga, breathwork, substances, ritual, and highly novel or stressful situations can all elicit these experiences.
