Yes and no. Words not only have meaning but also associations.

IMO, interfaith would do much better if it would develop its own language. Taking words one is used to and impute a different meaning, even if this meaning is an accepted one in some circles, just makes it difficult for all the others.

Universal alternatives for Christ consciousness are a challenge as many terms are already used in other faiths. Still one can search for a few which have relatively little baggage. Some possibilities would be:
clear, although Scientology uses it
untainted, too Buddhist?
unblemished
pristine
pure
spotless
perfect
flawless
translucent
cloudless
lucid
empty
