You're drunk on Chopra.
So according to you a consciousness must have a brain?
Yes, consciousness requires a brain. It is the process resulting from a working brain.
And it's not according to me.
consciousness
[kon-shuh s-nis]
noun
1.
the state of being conscious; awareness of one's own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, etc.
2.
the thoughts and feelings, collectively, of an individual or of an aggregate of people:
the moral consciousness of a nation.
3.
full activity of the mind and senses, as in waking life:
to regain consciousness after fainting.
4.
awareness of something for what it is; internal knowledge:
consciousness of wrongdoing.

Those are the definitions of consciousness. All of them require a brain. If you don't agree, please demonstrate an instance of consciousness occurring as described by one of the above definitions that does not.
You are perfectly welcome to make up your own meanings of words and use them accordingly, but don't expect others to accept them.
