>unconcious motives
I don't know what exactly you are referring to. Under certain circumstances, some behaviors and thoughts may become more easily triggered because of... chemicals in the brain. But you might not realize this until you actually observe the change in your behaviors. I do think that the "motive" does not exist as an independent force, and all that was changed was the physiology of some neurons and certain neurotransmitters the brain produces.
The motive is a state that measures how easily some behaviors can be triggered when presented with enough stimuli.

>anthropomorphism of god like
Humans anthropomorphize everything, even the brain. It's much easier for people to relate if god is described like a person, right?

I also said that consciousness is just different types of stimulations mixing together. Body senses, images, sounds.. Not all brain activities cause these stimulations. There are dedicated organs responsible for producing and recording these perceptions.

If consciousness was something magical and something we can control, we wouldn't feel pain if we didn't want to. It's all forced upon us because of our biological make-up.
