    Is your point that memory, emotions, and sensory input don’t have anything to do with consciousness?

    What exactly is consciousness doing without sensory input to process and memory to give those inputs context?

    Why do you think “awareness” of sights and sounds is separate from the parts of the brain that process those sights and sounds?

      When you look through a microscope, or hear music through headphones, are you those tools? Or are you the thing that hears and sees?

      How can you “have” emotions? When you try to reach the baseline of your experience, when you try to find the thing that experiences reality, what do you think you’ll find?
