Here's a little piece of Hawkins on all this:

"The mind is used to descriptions and definitions in terms of qualities, conditions, and presumed causes. Thus, to perception, nothing is complete or total in and of itself but is always dependent on other considerations. this is due to the dualistic mind's proclivity for separation in time and space and the superimposition of the supposed and imaginary explaination of a mysterious operant called "cause". Thus to the mind, everything is both dependent on conditions and seen as a temporality which therefore requires expanation for understanding. Mental statements presume a separation between subject and object or conditions, namely, subject, adverb, adjective, and predicate.
In reality, nothing requires and explanation. Nothing is caused by anything else. Existance requires no explaination nor does it have any dependence on any other state or quality."

Hawkins; "I- Reality and Subjectivity"

PS, I highly recommend the book.
