So "consciousness" has an "existence" outside of "matter"?

Is it a form of "energy"?

After all, electricity needs a "medium", but since it can travel through multiple conductors, nobody claims that electricity is simply a "byproduct" of any particular conductor.

Is "consciousness" a form of "energy" - and if so, would it conform to some of the same "laws" - such as conversation of energy (energy is neither created nor destroyed - simply conveyed and transformed)?
