A Personal Problem

A word "a face" and the face

A person x grasps a meaning of the concept "a face", and grasping it causes an image of a face in the consciousness of x.

But how is that causality possible in the Universe? Further, how does the connection of grasping and a mental image connect with a person's physical body or its central neural system?


I have not been understanding that.
