We don't know exactly how consciousness works in the human brain, but we know way more than "comes from the abyss".
When I read that text, something like this happens:
Visual perception of text (V1, VWFA)
→ Linguistic comprehension (Angular & Temporal Language Areas)
→ Semantic activation (Temporal + Hippocampal Network)
→ Competitive attractor stabilization (Prefrontal & Cingulate)
→ Top-down visual reactivation (Occipital & Fusiform)
→ Conscious imagery (Prefrontal–Parietal–Thalamic Loop).
and you can find experts in each of those areas who understand the specifics a lot more.
