How does my mind know that I am conscious?

Do minds somehow infer that they are conscious (which would probably mean that is causal),
or does consciousness emerge in a mind that models something like consciousness?

It's all chickens and eggs!

@DeathPoints
I can see how that would be true if consciousness is fundamental property of the universe (which we don't know if it is).

IF it is fundamental, than it would be either part of physics (if it is causal), or astral/soul-like (if it isn't causal).
Fundamental consciousness could (possibly) exist without a brain, and conscious artificial minds (conscious AIs) would be impossible (I guess?). Both of which my intuition refuses haha
