What is an event? What is a real event?

An event is something that happens. A real event happens beyond your body and mind. An unreal event only happens in your mind. These are just my definitions.

Do you see the subjectivity in "something that happens", real vs unreal, and mind vs body?

If I suddenly remember the name of an old friend from school, is that not a real event? Yet it's happening entirely in my mind.

When you ask "Can something create itself?", are you looking to answer this question on a foundational level or for a specific case you have in mind? If you want to start somewhere, ask yourself "Do my thoughts create themselves?".
