Hey man, I get what you're saying but it's kind of a close minded view. If this is something you are interested in then I would recommend some books on the Psychology of Consciousness. We have been debating the body vs the mind for centuries. Just because you offered a few pieces of "evidence" doesnt mean you solved the problem of consciousness.
Here is a good introductory book on the subject:Understanding Consciousness https://www.amazon.com/dp/0415425166/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Y.rvCbFCJSQW0
> Acknowledging awareness, be it of pain or pleasure, is a matter of consciousness, i.e., cognition, but since much of cognition goes on unconsciously, one is both conscious and unconscious simultaneously.
This time you seem to be confusing "being unconscious" (as in "knocked out") with "there exist unconscious mental processing". Because clearly the former doesn't follow from the latter.
If at some point you start noticing that you often run into problems communicating your ideas about the mind and consciousness to other people, you might want to educate yourself some more on the topic. I can recommend the book "Understanding Consciousness" by Max Velmans.
