The belief that memory is something that has arrived from the past to the present is another form of conceiving a self.

Impermanence doesn't mean you should have no attachments, it means there is nothing to attach to.

One just has to see what is "right in front of one's eyes", that all experiences in the six fields change moment to moment, and even one moment cannot be grasped. Therefore, whatever is believed to be a reality is only a conceptual creation. Nevertheless, conceptual creations follow a certain pattern, they are interdependent, as a network of associations.

It is natural that beings want to take control and feel certainty. However, it is also a reason for suffering and feeling dissatisfied. Things change and we cannot manipulate them as we wish to, as everything depends on numerous causes and conditions. Even what we call our thoughts, feelings and body are often beyond our control. To contemplate this is how to gain insight into the true nature of the way things are.

In short, the basis of ignorance is conceptual attachment, that is, believing in essentially existing things and beings. From that come emotional attachments, and from that all sorts of deluded actions. One can go gradually by first restricting one's actions with the precepts, calming emotional states with meditation and eliminating false ideas through insight. Or one can go directly to the root cause, that is clinging to thoughts, and see that there is nothing to grasp. The result is the same.
