We must understand clearly that, ultimately, nothing exists. There are no human beings, there are no Buddhas because that void is empty and not even the smallest particle, which could be seen or imagined, takes up space there. It depends on nothing, is connected to nothing. It is flawless beauty, self contained, the ultimate and the uncreated. It is a jewel beyond price.

　　We must disentangle "copied Rupa" (form replicated by consciousness) using knowledge (Vijja) and the way of the citta (Maggacitta). Causes and results must be abandoned, we must pay our debts and go beyond the cause of rebirth. All the uncountable living and inanimate things in the universe are but aspects of materiality and mentality (Rupa-Nama). Rupa and Nama combine, ignorance arises as well as continuing causes. Wherever there is Rupa (body or materiality) there is Nama (mind or mentality) and wherever there is Nama there is Rupa. When Rupa and Nama combine it causes constant reaction and change and "time" arises. Rupa mutually attract causing Rupa”s physical spin and movement, orbiting itself according to conditions. In order for Rupa to move there must be Nama, the void between Rupa, to allow this movement.

　　When nature is like this, all things material, animate, inanimate, must suffer change following the three characteristics*, arising and ceasing in each movement of the citta without break and never standing still long enough to be real in the present.

　　The citta and consciousness (Vinnana) arise from the Rupa and Nama of the universe. It is an illusion, changing and misleading beings. From inanimate Rupa and Nama it changes to Rupa and Nama with life. From Rupa and Nama with life it changes to Rupa and Nama that has citta and consciousness. The citta and consciousness change and separates from one another leaving only empty Nama without Rupa. This is the ultimate deception of Rupa and Nama.

　　The cause of the arising of Rupa-Nama in the universe is the cause of Rupa and Nama in all the worlds including the uncountable stars. There is no end. The Rupa and Nama of the various worlds are the cause of the Rupa and Nama of plants. The Rupa and Nama of plants are the cause of the Rupa and Nama of beings that have movement and are then called "alive". In truth, all Rupa and Nama, whether alive or inanimate, have movement because they have Rupa-Nama. This is why they react, causing them to constantly move and change. If we look with the physical eye we won”t see this movement so we then call things "inanimate".

　　When the Rupa and Nama of plants changes to the Rupa and Nama of beings, it is the beginning of "self" and the cause of the arising and appearance of citta and consciousness which have movement and creates kamma. The first beings made kamma of an ill nature with beings eating beings and having anger, greed and delusion following causes and conditions from both external and internal contacts. They made kamma through the eye, ear, nose, tongue and body interacting with sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touches. This is recorded, imprinted, fixed and stored in the atomic material (Rupa-Paramanu) of the subtle Rupa (Sukhuma-Rupa) latent in the void; invisible to the eye and hidden in the emptiness between the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body where they are stored.

　　When the first beings died, it was this gross kamma alone that caused them to continue arising in order to "pay the debt" of that gross kamma that they had made. When they were reborn, however, they did not pay this debt but increased it, creating the twin conditions of male and female resulting in subtle Rupa fixed inside …
