Non-causality beliefs The Non-causality beliefs stated that the Universe and the Souls happened coincidentally. They proponent of these believes that there was/were no reason/s behind the creation of Universe and the Identity/Self. These beliefs were expressed because of two possibilities: *1 There were gods called assannasatta, which had only body and no mental will. The absence of mental will in this state was due to the nature of repressed thoughts, not the ultimate absence of thoughts. As they died in the god realm, there was a possibility that they were reborn as ascetics who achieved the ability to recall just one past life. Here, they concluded upon their past life that, "Before this, there were no Atta and Loka. So, the Atta and Loka were created without a cause. They simply arise spontaneously. Why do I deem so? Because I wasn't exist and now I exist." *2. The ascetics who based their thoughts on logic and thinkings, and concluded that the Soul and the Universe happened without a cause. All of the followers of these beliefs defended and clung on their faith and didn't believe in another faiths.
