views consciousness not as a single entity but as a developmentally unfolding process with a substantially different architecture at each of its stages of growth, and thus an understanding of consciousness demands an investigation of the architecture at each of its levels of unfoldin

Chalmers says that `the hard problem' is `the question of how physical processes in the brain give rise to subjective experience' -- that is, how physical and mental interact.

But, of course, it is not actually an impassable gulf: you see the physical world right now, so the gulf is bridged. The question is, how? And the answer, as I suggested in Eye to Eye, only discloses itself to postformal awareness. The `impassable gulf' is simply another name for the subject/object dualism, which is the hallmark, not of Descartes' error, but of all manifestation, which Descartes simply happened to spot with unusual clarity. It is still with us, this gap, and it remains the mystery hidden in the heart of samsara, a mystery that absolutely refuses to yield its secrets to anything less than postformal and nondual consciousness development (I will return to this in a moment).
