Results are produced from concordant causes — causes that have the ability to produce them; they
cannot arise from discordant causes. Since the mind is immaterial, its substantial cause — the
principal thing that transforms into a particular moment of mind — must also be immaterial. This is
the preceding moment of mind. One moment of mind arises due to the previous moment of mind,
which arose due to the moment of mind that preceded it. This can be traced back to the time of
conception. The moment of mind at the time of conception arose due to a cause, a previous moment of
mind, and in this way the continuum of mind prior to this life is established.
