If God is in my pants, then I fully expect to be compensated, even if he doesn't front the rent.

I do so dislike all this Thomistic nonsense. Really I do. That being said, it's not clear to me that, even if God can be said to possess a consciousness, that his consciousness is the foundation of his primacy over existence, at least not in the sense you seem to be arguing. (I'm not altogether clear, but you seem to be pursuing a pseudo-modal argument here, using God's consciousness as a major premise; I doubt many points in your construction, but then, this is not my forte.)
