My statement is that the brain or any other chemical or physical structure is not the cause of consciousness.

Appealing to a supernatural dimension does not get you closer to the point of being able to define the limits of insanity. If anything it adds a whole other dimension of uncertainty and ambiguity. So rather than increasing your ability to place blame on the individual, it dilutes it.

It seems that you and I have diametrically opposed views of reality. You apparently see only a mechanistic world and people who are meat machines. It's interesting that many scientists today are coming to the conclusion that there is another energy besides matter (by matter I also include time and energy), which in the terminology of the Vedas, is called paraprakriti. The Vedas describe two distinct energies - prakriti - which is matter, unconscious, "dead" if you will. Prakriti includes all elements that are perceivable, including time, space, emergies that are measureable, matter. Paraprakriti is spirit, for want of a better English word. The individual soul, or atma is para (which means superior) prakriti, and God is the Supreme paraprakriti, also called Paramatma - the Supreme Soul.
And I find it very interesting that some scientists are coming to the conclusion that the mechanistic view of the universe can't explain it all. That mechanical world view came into popularity in the 19th century and has many failings. Not only that, but the desolation and meaningless it causes are a source of much of the world's miseries and evil philosophies such as Communism, socialism, fascism, and most Utopianism.

(There were some religious based Utopians but most of them were not consistent with what I would term transcendent worldviews.)
