The mind and its phenomena of qualia and consciousness are non-material entities with information and information processing as their essence. They evolved into existence to help increase the survival chance of the species that possess them. Why do we have the mind, qualia, and consciousness as they are manifesting phenomenally as vision, sound, smell, emotion, thought, etc. that we can experience mentally why are we not like computers or robots, doing everything "in the dark", without those phenomenal manifestations occurring? The answer is because the mind, qualia, and consciousness that manifest phenomenally have additional physical effects from their phenomenal manifestations, and those effects help increase the survival chance of ourselves and our species. Therefore, the mind, qualia, and consciousness as they are - having phenomenal manifestations - evolved into existence to help us and our species survive better. How do those phenomenal manifestations, the seemingly non-physical manifestations - such as the vision of the red colour, the musical sound, and the happy emotion in our mind, occur from neural processes, which are just physical processes - how can physical processes give rise to those seemingly non-physical phenomenal manifestations? ... The answer is because some neural processes have neural signals mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
