The brain is the physical counterpart of the mind. Consciousness creates matter. Always the spirit forms the flesh.
Awareness transcends all that is and finds itself within the individual.

It definitely transcends brain, because it transcends reason. It is more related to each one's level of spirituality, how many life experiences he/she went through, and how interested in achieving them they can be. In my opinion, awareness/consciousness comes to those who are prepared to that and consequently those who seek them. However, if one doesn't get them in this life, will get them in the next one.
All of us will be there, at the top of the mountain. Some will take longer, because they are weaker and stubborn, others will climb it easier, it doesn't matter, we will all be there.
Peace!
Edit: that's why it is useless to push our own awareness/consciousness down into other's throat. It doesn't work that way. Each one will only achieve them by their own effort... that's how it is supposed to be. That's why convert people into this or that religion is also a waste of time. Nobody will be converted to any religion if he/she is not yet prepared, if it is not the right time.
Edit: that's why we can't get it through books either. You can read a good book and get so much enlightenment and other person reads the same books and doesn't get the same message you did, and you may ask yourself "am I crazy? I understood so many things with this book..." The other person simply was not ready to understand what is there. Awareness and consciousness have to match with each one level of understanding. That's why this has nothing to do with brain. The brain, in the other hand, can adjust and acomodate itself to learning academics and skills, but never awareness and conciousness.

In my feeble understanding, consciousness really transcends brain. But awareness is the quality of the brain. I am a karma believer. I asked once "does my free will choose to what I will become or will my actions/thought will be?" Obviously, if awareness is present during afterlife, then I(soul) would have choose what I want to become instead of What I need to become.

Its a quality of brain
Still it transcends brain...
Brain is like the seed ..
Its small and the tree from it is much bigger than and totally different
In fact the tree absorbs the seed in
So does Consciousness absorbs the Brain

Based upon subjective experience, I feel that human awareness/consciousness/mind does seem to transcend the brain, but I have to admit I have no objective evidence.
There is plenty of clinical evidence to support the principle that all we are exists within our physical brains and only anecdotal evidence for something more. It is therefore a mental balancing act for me to embrace both the physical evidence and my subjective experience.
In other words: I'm not sure. ;-)

Quality of brain or synapses in movement. Guess it transcends the brain just as the wave transcends the flatness of the sea surface....

Feeling, awareness, and intellect reside within the functioning brain of man. These are the first three levels of consciousness.
Wisdom dwells within the heart of man and uses, feeling, awareness, and intellect to function properly within the realm of what man calls consciousness. This is what allows man to make correct decisions within that which man calls life.
Consciousness is constantly emanating from within the heart of man. This transcends what man calls brain function.
This is all interwoven within the consciousness of the Creator.
This is a most beautiful gift that has been given to all those carefully chosen to be called, "Human Beings".
All consciousness emanates from within the human heart.
Thus we have been told: "God is within man - man is within God."
If I have stated anything in error I humbly ask for your forgiveness.

No it doesn't.. Awareness/consciousness is indeed one of the faculties of the brain, using the cognition through sense experience..It never transcends the brain, only the faculty of reasoning does..
E.g. we become aware of the 'accidents'(color, shape,texture etc) of a matter through our five senses.. For the mind to transcend such awareness, it must reason out the quintessence of such accidents..or what,how, and why such color is as such color.

Hard to say. You could dissect a brain on a microscopic level and not show one molecule of awareness or consciousness.
