In the case of beforethedawn, telling me to be a non-materialist is not a fresh perspective. 

What I've been doing is attempting to shift people's interpretation of the word consciousness to consistently follow the dictionary definition.

This is what is so ridiculous though.

You completely and totally ignore the 'aware' part of YOUR OWN DEFINITION!

You have absolutely no idea whatsoever if other beings are aware of their surroundings or not.

Responsive, yes. You can see that and measure it. Aware, no.

Can you see the difference? Because, if you can't, no-one here is going to make any sense of what you're talking about.

I am aware of and responsive to my surroundings in two separate ways, I am aware of the sensations I feel throughout my body when interacting with my environment and I am aware of my perceptions and my own sense of morality in which I define my beliefs of what constitutes for a good or a bad experience.

You people need to watch the 1990 movie 'Awakenings' with Robbin Williams.
