I think it is time to dig into this idea of an over soul or Daemon. I feel confident that the brain doesn't create consciousness, it just routes, interprets or connects it to the physical world much like a radio receiver. I think the consciousness we experience is a piece of a large consciousness that is us and is available to communicate with if we can find the mechanism that works for us. Maybe we are like a shore party leaving a ship in a small boat to explore an unknown island. We have been gone so long that we forgot there was a ship to return to, and our radio is cluttered with so many other signals we normally can't reach it nor hear its call.
I think holy and medicine men and women, have been tuning it to their own and other streams of consciousness for thousands of years . They know about their ship and others. Maybe someday we all will. Maybe someday we will all feel connected.
