I see consciousness as a basic component of the universe. As such it exists in every piece of the universe - rocks, plants, etc.
Degrees of consciousness arise due to the (neural) organization of the aggregate consciousness in all things.
Why do I see consciousness as innate in the universe? Because it is clearly evident when matter is highly structured as in animals and self-evident in humans. As it is present in the universe, it must be a component of the universe. It's everywhere present but only obvious when highly organized and structured.
