Consciousness is located in the 'Field' above us. There is a book on this.
It's why Scientists upon cutting out 80% of a brain, find, that their subject can still remember everything.
Perhaps the pineal gland has something to do with the connection to it's field? And why people (not all) seem to have this herd mentality. Im only speculating on that though.

Did you mean to say 'Chakra'?
We have fields around us referred to as Chakras yes, I have no idea how they're connected to the energy field above us. I suspect it does correlate however with how we function.

I was listening to the BBC today while driving. The subject of what consciousness is came up and it really began to send me down the rabbit hole.
Have you ever thought about were our consciousness originates in our bodies? What makes us...us I guess?
Is it our brain that holds the key to who each of us are? Or is it something much more.
Are we nothing more than wiring, intertwined in such a way that allows us to make decisions for ourselves, allows each of us to be different from each other.
Scientists believed they had pin pointed where our consciousness lies within a part of our brain.
Then this man sort of ruined that theory
www.sciencealert.com...
If you don't feel like reading the link, it basically talks about a man, who had 90% of his brain deteriorate. Most people would think someone with only 10% of their brain, still living tissue, that the person would be a vegetable.
But no, this gent lived a pretty normal life, had a job, wife and 2 kids. But over the course of 30 years or so, his brain essentially turned to fluid. He only realized this once he went to the doctor to see what was causing his left leg to be weak.
So if 90% of this man brain melted away, was he just lucky enough that the reamaing 10% just so happened to house his consciousness?
Then i started thinking, At what point in our development from an embryo, does that magical spark happen and we become ourselves? Obviously we are alive at the embryo stage. We grow, we need the basics to live - oxygen, blood, a source of protein.
I have to admit, this talk I listened to today, really got my mind in overdrive.

Now.. if you went into a Bar and asked that same Question,
Where Is Consciousness Located, I'll bet you a million dollars you'd receive a perverted response!
