Does it make sense to speak of "Universal Consciousness" or "Universal Intelligence"?

I will say for about the third time that qualia are not a property of brain but of mind/consciousness.

And from what non-brain minds have you gathered evidence establishing this claim?

As for my argument not being clear:

GIVEN THAT the brains of others actually experience qualia, rather than just seeming to, I argue:
1) The brain has many properties.
2) Qualia supervene on some or all of these properties.
3) Some of these properties are unique to the brain, and some are universal.
4) It is not known on which of these properties qualia supervene.
5) It is therefore not known whether qualia are unique to the brain or universal.

You assume that qualia are a property of the brain. I do not.

1. Since I'm a declared agnostic idealist, that seems unlikely.
2. Accepting the brain/mind/qualia connection as a given was not an assertion but a concession, i.e. an "even if." Maybe I was confused by:

I will restate that there is absolutely no evidence for anything but mind being dependent on anything but brain.

I will say for about the third time that qualia are not a property of brain but of mind/consciousness.

All of the evidence of neuroscience indicates that the mind depends on a brain.

There is no evidence that it depends only on the brains we use.
There is no reason to believe that a silicon-based 'brain' of appropriate complexity couldn't host a mind.

Then I will restate:

• 'Brain' is a complex, active physical structure with inputs, processing, and outputs.
  
• Mind is an emergent property of the complexity of 'brain'.
  
• The only brains we know of are biological.
  
• There is no good reason to assume that brains must be biological, or natural.
  
• Qualia are an aspect of consciousness, not something separate from consciousness.
  
• There is no reason to believe that an artificial brain could not be conscious.
  
• There is therefor no reason to believe that an artificial brain could not experience qualia.
