In philosophese you are asking if experience is epiphenomenal.

Now that is, as we say around here, a ten-dollar word.

And.... google leads to a very nice wikipedia article[1], and....
hey, look at this: "It was concocted as a potential solution to a
problem facing dualism....". Granted, "concocted" probably isn't as
neutral as it could be, but I think we have a winner.

someonex, could you have a look and let us know if that's what you
were proposing?

[1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphenomenalism

I had a quick look, and I my line of reasoning is concerned with
showing the implausibility of epiphenomenalism or the consideration
that our experience is simply a 'point of view' of the physical
activity, and that our behaviour could be simply explained by the
physical activity following laws of physics. It is concerned with
showing that the turning of reality upside down by the
'intelligent' (materialism, there is only the physical), as it was
predicted they would do in the Bible, Isaiah 29:14-16, is implausible.
