Not quite. Your consciousness is the synthesis of all your thoughts and beliefs put together (poverty consciousness, winning consciousness, abundance consciousness etc). Your mind is the medium through which they are actually thought - a vessel for holding and processing information, and the thoughts which 'pass through' it.

Consciousness is that which is aware of the mind. So they are not the same. In otherwords, the mind, broadly speaking, is subjective experience, whether that be thought, feelings, tastes, sounds, impressions, desires, you name it, anything that you experience. Consciousness, on the other hand, is that which experiences all of these things, that is, consciousness is the experiencer itself (mind is the object of consciousness which is the subject).
A simple analogy, the mind is like a movie, and consciousness is like the viewer. So they are not the same thing, for if mind were consciousness, then there would be nothing to experience the mind, and thus the mind wouldn't exist (because subjective experience that is never experienced does not exist).

No. The mind is but a very sophisticated computer. "The mind is not for thinking, the mind is for receiving thought." "God dwells within you as you." WE have unity with God in unconditional love within our heart. To function on the human level, God (pure consciousness) expresses through You, the Atman (Soul) which is the eternal witness of waking, sleep & deep sleep states, Choosing the thoughts you would manifest in this world. The brain is the servo mechanism through which ALL your thoughts,accepted with faith, positive or negative are manifested.

I don't think so - your mind is what you think with and your conciousness is what comes out when you are asleep!@~

no, the mind business is to think, to feel and to desire things and is trough the mind that we can express and perceive consciousness - and consciousness is just the symptom of life, the presence of the soul in a body, be it in a person, animal or vegetable body.

I personally don't believe so, because a person can have lost his mind and still be conscious to function, eating, sleeping etc.
If you mean enlightenment that will be a totally different answer.

By mind, you mean your conscious thoughts? Then there's your subconscious and unconscious states.
