But it certainly does no become manifest by its mere existence. Its becoming manifest is conditional onvery special goings-on in very special parts of this very world, namely on certain events that happen in a brain. That is and inordinately peculiar kind of implication, which prompts the question: What particuliar properties distinguish these brain processes and enable them to produce the manifestation? Can we guess which material processes have this power, which not? Or simpler: What kind of material process is directly asssociated with consciousness?
