In a way in which?

"If what happens in your experience is inside your mind in a way in which what happens in your brain is not, it looks as though your experiences and other mental states can’t just be physical states of your brain. There has to be more to you than your body with its humming nervous system."

I've tried to simplify the first clause like this:

"If A is inside your mind in a way in which B is not".

I think it means "If A is inside your mind in a different way than B"


Is it correct? I find the usage of "in a way which" so confusing?

Could you explain this to me in the simplest way. Thanks

I think it means "If A is inside your mind in a different way than B" Is it correct? Yes, that's fine. XVI I find the usage of "in a way in which" so confusing I just find it unnecessarily awkward.

What happens in your experience is in your mind in a certain way.
What happens in your brain is in your mind in a certain way.

If the two ways are not the same, the what happens in your experience and what happens in the brain can't be the same.
