Your problem here is that you think that consciousness is all sorts of things as well as being consciousness. You're defining seperation, but there isn't any. There is only one thing that exists and that is consciousness, everything else is a creation of consciousness, therefore there is no mind/body/cognitive faculty, it's all an illusion, a very cunning, dense, physical and spiritual illusion none the less.
I like the way you say that 'we' consider something to be true as in 'we' all agree not to refer to a clever human's consciousness, it's their mind that creates everything. So what does consciousness do, sit on the sidelines and observe while the mind creates?
You can believe that, but it's pretty limiting.
