Gert-Jan,
I should think that my brain is responsible for my awareness. Just like the
sunrise is responsible for the cock to crow. Surely you aren't going to say
that the cock crowing brings the sunrise, are you?
I am reminded of the joke where you must put Descarte before Da horse.
Or are you being metaphorical?
I think Depak Chopra said something like 'we humans are spiritual beings
having a physical experience, not physical beings having a spiritual
experience'. Is this the kind of thing you mean?
Fondly to you, Nathan
