Unless of course, you take a purely scientific approach, realize that you're mixing metaphors to the extreme, and have imbued consciousness with properties it does not have because of your experiences, which are all based on a human perception. You receive data through those 100 Trillion cells, which is how you interact with the world, how you see, smell, touch, taste, hear, and yes, even think. To assume that "consciousness" is NOT a quality produced by the sum total of that perception is to assume that the car goes because God's invisible hand is behind it pushing it along while you put your foot on the gas pedal.
