It doesn't "cause" them in the sense that, if I think about a certain volcano erupting, it will erupt, but it does allow for them to happen, since absent space and time, it is impossible to describe even a pebble, let alone a volcanic eruption. There is a difference between direct cause and general intellectual provision.

How would something be cause outside of time?
>but the idea of something having no cause makes no sense to me
You agree that we don't know as of yet what causes gravity, or any of the other fundamental forces? Yet you are still capable of finding meaning in physics. I'm not saying the self is an essentially physical force, like gravity, since if that were the case we would find what exactly cause it, only that it is possible to treat a thing as relevant without knowing precisely what its cause is.
