The universal consciousness does not know it exists. It is the temporary human mind which creates all evil and good and leaves it as a tradition for the future generations. But universal consciousness is like a platform for everything else. For example, consider a tree. It has the same universal consciousness as us.
But it does not have a mind or thoughts. Its basically in a state of deep sleep. The body and mind are manifestations and there are hundreds of varieties of animal and plants due to this. Universal consciousness came first. Then came the brain. Not the other way round. The brain can sense this universal consciousness but it does sense any quality because Universal Consciousness is itself the foundation of all experience. It is just like how Nisargadatta says " Can your tongue your own mouth ?
