Are there Buddhist teachings on mind that you're aware of? Would there be an orthodox Buddhist answer to the question you pose in the OP?
I was a Buddhist. Now I’m an Athiest. We were said to believe that the mind is something like a soul which finds a human when they are born. And it goes to someone else when we die. Most of the humans personally, traits come from the soul or whatever energy that is. Maybe Because consciousness cannot be explained.
I don’t believe in rebirth or souls since you asked Buddhist view. I was just asking this because if someone asks flesh and blood come from parents and mind comes from somewhere else , how to answer that question
Human consciousness is coming from the human brain (if not completely, then for the most part at least).
Now if what you really mean is how exactly is this happening, then you can say you don't know, nothing wrong with that. Philosophers of mind are struggling with the same question themselves, so you're in good hands.
