But between the physical processes which are released in the terminal organ of the nervous conductors in the central brain and the image which thereupon appears to the perceiving subject, there gapes a hiatus, an abyss which no realistic conception of the world can span.

Is that "can span", or "so far has yet so span?"

Your argument for the supernatural origin of the mind is based on your presumption that the mind cannot be understood, even while progress towards understanding the mind is occurring all the time, and even accelerating.

But even the concept of the 'real external world' of everyday thinking rests exclusively on sense impressions.

Experiments show that a large portion of our current view of the world is composed of expectations which originate in the mind...

I.e. You actually see only a fraction of what you THINK you see, the rest is filled in by the brain.

I.e. In a very real sense, you are living in a largely imaginary world.
