This is just a bare assertion. In cerebral achromotopsia (color blindness), some patients lose the ability to experience color. It's not that they simply can't perceive color. They can no longer remember scenes with color, and they can't imagine a colored object. This is a result of trauma to the brain which has affected a component of consciousness. It would seem that a component of consciousness is physically accessible after all.
That we haven't succeeded in localizing consciousness in the brain is not evidence that it cannot be localized and henceforth measured and manipulated as any tangible object can. All you have is negative evidence and that makes it an argument from ignorance.

To perceive abstract things such as God we need something else and that is a developed consciousness.
All the rest will not work.
More bare assertions. This again is not evidence that consciousness is intangible.
You never stop being silly, do you yog?

It is obvious that a trauma in or to the brain will affect the consciousness.
When you have a car accident the car get smashed and you also will get hurt.
That is normal as it is normal that a trauma in the brain will affect your consciousness.
The consciousness is stuck inside a body and until this situation persist body-brain-consciousness
will have to experience each other in any situation.
Now you say ................ It would seem that a component of consciousness is physically accessible after all...........
Accessible by who?
All what external eyes can see is how the brain is affected but the brain is not you.
You can't get yog, do you?
