I see. Well I disagree with your definition of consciousness. It is not the essence of all there is, Consciousness is individual inward awareness. You are trying to create your own definition of the term, by defining self consciousness in one manner, and consciousness in another, when the two shouldnot have seperation of terms. Consciousness is the governor of human behavior.
This suggestion that consciousness is the essence of all there is, goes beyond even being human, and I disagree with doing that to the term.
