1.
Within my consciousness there is the image of a rose
Within my physical brain there is no image of a rose
Therefore my consciousness and my brain are distinct

2.All physical things are objectively observable
My consciousness is not objectively observable
Therefore my consciousness is not a physical thing

3.
All physical things have causal powers
My consciousness, distinct from my brain, does not have causal powers
Therefore my consciousness is not a physical thing
