It's by definition not physical. That doesn't mean when you see a physical thing it's not a part of the same thing. A physical thing isn't necessarily the whole thing. Consciousness is not a physical quality. Physical is what we can observe in common objectively. It's not the observer itself (which also observes itself).
If you take a physical entity it's physical because that's the only part of it you can consciously perceive through external stimuli and measure scientifically. It's not the whole and the only quality it possesses only that which it expresses to you internally. So it's not purely physical as we mean it. Obviously physical matter is not entirely physical matter but physical matter with the potential to internally experience consciousness. The physical part refers to its outside. It doesn't know about the inside.
It might not do that all the time and it might not be physical all the time. The thing is science really has very little comprehension of what physical matter actually is other than something it can measure from an external perspective. It can find out how gravity behaves but it cannot tell you fundamentally what it is or why it is. You're going down the road of the measurement of the thing is the thing itself.
Pain is an indicator that something's wrong, and is definitively physical as well. It's reasonably understood, which is how local anesthetics were developed.
I don't think you have the capacity to comprehend based on that. An indication to what? Define wrong. Why does it need to be indicated that something is wrong?
I can program stuff that sends signals that something is wrong but why would it need to feel pain for real, as a real phenomena? It's completely unnecessary for a physical system. Why would it actually hurt?
Consciousness is undeniably derived physically. Again, if you have any proof to the contrary, that it's from some supernatural soul, your name would go down in history forever. But you don't.
If you are telling the truth, then you have no consciousness that is able to act through you. You are purely a physical entity. Like a rock. Simply a bunch of atoms but arranged differently. You are saying you have no soul. You are saying that you feel nothing, no pain, no experience at all. You are saying that you're a biological chat bot and nothing more.
Yes, I've seen no convincing evidence of the existence of a soul or anything else supernatural. You're also a purely physical entity, physical like a rock, a bunch of atoms arranged in a matter to make you.
To someone without a soul it's impossible for them to conceive of anyone else having a soul. Language refers to things and if the thing I refer to you can't comprehend it's because it's not something you have to be referred to to know the same thing that I'm talking about when I talk of it. A soul is something that if you don't have it you don't know that you don't have it. The only way to know what it is and that it exists is to have it. That which does not exist doesn't know what it's missing. It does not know of that which does exist. Don't worry, a lot of humans fail the Turing test.
