If everything comes from something & action A results in event B, then where did everything come from according to dependent origination? Has it always been here? Where do our "minds" or citta come from? In other words how did it all start?

This is one of the 4 imponderables, not to be though of as it would drive one mad.

There is no beginning, neither is there any end, both beginning and end are mental concepts, mental formations and are in turn subject to impermanence.
