How the fuck should I know?
In this context no one is arguing that conscious experience doesn't exist, and we can't explain it or detect it outside of our own heads.
I can only guess that if there exists a "soul" in each of us that can force or influence thoughts it is related to the same force that caused the big band or sparked the first organic life. Under very specific special conditions when matter gets aligned in a certain way, there might be something that is created that can introduce a "new cause" created outside and introduced inside of the existing chain of causality of the universe.
