I don't have trouble believing in independent origination with objects but lets try to do this with human beings and things that are not man-made. We have the photon , a tiny quantum of light, that is present and in common with everything in the universe. Einstein and Planck understood this. Objects like rocks, wood, sand, time, don't hold memory fields or emotions -only humans try to make a something from a nothing. Humans breathe life and memory into objects that become their monuments and man-made institutions. Humans do breath and have memory bands or consciousness and this also has no beginning and no ending just like history.
