your thoughts.......

please accept me as your disciple the quarks, gluons,positrons, photons, bosons, etc, vanished my mind

but seriously, what you have written is without doubt essence of causality. however, does a "true self" actually exist in these subatomic particles, quarks, gluons, positrons, photons, bosons, etc,? do these phenomena generate "self" thoughts? to me, it is the human mind that generates "self" thoughts based in what it feels, craves & clings to possessively

but, then, sometimes the mind can impute 'self' onto external and even material things. the mind can get angry at a computer when it malfunctions as though the computer is a 'self', screaming 'I hate you' at an inanimate computer

as you have alluded to, "thing-ness" can certainly vanish, which can bring the mind to a state of "non-being" & clear consciousness. to be thoroughly familiar with "non-being" is certainly something highly recommended

kind regards
