For abstract i mean something that can not be perceived with our physical senses.[...]
Yeah... No - that's not what "abstract" means. Just another thing you're wrong about.

So, are you trying to say, that consciousness is only a thought? Well - then how can a thought survive without a brain? Do you have a proof of thoughts or ideas, flying around by themselves? You don't? Oh, dear... It seems like you contradicted yourself again and proved that death of the brain is the end of consciousness.
Or do you mean that consciousness is a form of art?
Maybe you should stop using words you don't understand?
