It's probably a problem for philosophy but the word consciousness is not a good place to start a bit about the science of the brain. We could say that what we are really talking about is the fact that we think and perceive at all. No one would suggest that thinking and perceiving are not about the brain. It's like saying that my being alive is not about my body.

But if anyone is interested in trying to find a way turn the ideas of consciousness into artifacts that we can talk about I am interested.

If you think there is some supernatural basis or even some fundamental basis to our minds then you belong in philosophy or religion. Not here.
