Impure Vision

So I'm reading Lama Choedak Yuthok's excellent Lamdre: Dawn of Enlightenment for the first time. I'm a bit confused about "everything is mind". What about dependent origination? How do the two concepts interact with each other?
For example, there is a person A. I love person A, but person B hates A. What is mind and what is dependent origination?
Thank you.

On the relative level, the ordinary, conditioned mind is dualistically projecting all appearances--everything encountered is mind. The flow of dualistic appearances is governed by casuality (when this arises, that arises; when this ceases, that ceases) and is based on the 12 links.
