Occurs to do

?- This situation also occurs to make me aware of what I can do and what I should not do.

In the sentence above, does "occurs to" imply a process?

I think "occurs to make" implies "ends up making", so "occurs to" seems to imply a process. Am I right?

fire1 In the sentence above, does "occurs to" imply a process? The "to" has nothing to do with it. occurs = happens, so something is going on; there is some process, obviously explained earlier in the text and here referred to as "this situation".
