I presume that consciousness is created or enabled by the brain, and what it is conscious of is delivered to it via the brain. Beyond that, I wouldn't want to talk about its location in space. But when we say "I", or "me", we don't always mean the same thing. If you were to say, "I nearly got run over by a bus today", it wouldn't seem to be same "I" as if you were to say, "I was thinking about rainbows today", if you see what I mean. One "I" is a physical object, while the other "I" would seem to be immatereal. When you say "I", you could be referring to your shape and size, or you could be referring to your emotional feelings, and other people would understand what you meant by the context.

Spinoza said they (the physical and the immatereal ) are two aspects of the same.
The same 'what', EXACTLY?
By the way, I have ALREADY answered what 'they' are the two aspects of EXACTLY, numerous times throughout this forum.
By "two aspects of the same" I might have said "two aspects of nature; the subjective and the objective, or the mental and the physical.
For instance brain (objective, physical) , and mind(subjective, mental) are two aspects of
brain-mind.

So, once again, what are 'they' (the physical and the immatereal) two aspects 'of', EXACTLY?

Cosmos.
And what does the 'cosmos' word mean or refer to, to you, exactly?
