Your perspective requires a lot of tenuous assumptions though. You do not define 'consciousness' nor 'physical processes' (what underlies each and every process as you recursively examine them?). To claim that consciousness is emergent out of physical processes rather than the other way around (consciousness defining the physical world) requires axioms like that of 'cause and effect' to hold 'true', whatever 'truth' is actually supposed to signify when the physical world itself is not defined. As far as I know, the only things we can possibly 'know' are those things which we perceive, and the only thing which we can know from them for certain is the fact that they are perceived in the first place, whatever that means. There may be 'science', yet even that is at the very best a hopeful idea that we will continue to perceive the world in some consistent, regular manner as we nudge at it with our imagined limbs. The way we conceive of cause and effect is entirely arbitrary- to consider it 'true' as you seem to, strikes me as almost religious. ;)
