Consciousness is not  what actually 'thinks'.

You should think about consciousness as an additional subsystem of our 
brain, which has the purpose to make the results of thinking usable.

Thinking in the form of decision making or finding solutions to problems 
is per se unconscious.

This is like in a computer:

the computer itself 'thinks'

but you cannot use the results, unless you have a monitor, which 
presents the results.

The mental subsystem 'consciousness' is the equivalent to the monitor 
and not to the CPU.

Consciousness on the other hand does not think, but pretends to think.

We only think, that we think with our conscious mind, because that's 
what the conscious mind always does.

Actually we mainly 'think' with other parts of the brain and also with 
our body, especially the guts.
