> consciousness is not a manifestation of the physical structures of our mind, but rather a reflection or view into the nature of our soul > To wit, there are several other mammals in the world which have similarly complex brain structures, and in many cases larger amounts of brain mass, but do not exhibit any sort of human-like consciousness. Per your theory these other mammals do not have "souls", otherwise their significant brain mass would reflect their soul's nature, and generate consciousness. So humans have somehow been chosen exclusively to have "souls", or at least have brains capable of reflecting them. When did this choosing happen? Just to homo sapiens sapiens or also to neanderthalis and other homo sapiens subspecies? Taking it back further, under your theory do our closest extant genetic relatives, bonobo chimpanzees, have souls, and by extension, your definition of consciousness?
