Consciousness is something that we do.  My consciousness is mine, because I am doing it.  AFAIK there is no such thing as a “universal consciousness”.  It would be cool it there were.  We could tap in and see what anyone else was being conscious of.

CC, you mention again that “we cannot consider (an) organism without its environment“.  The way that statement rings true to me (thinking in terms as a behavior analyst) is that one of the distinguishing characteristics of organisms is that they have behaviors.  AND all of their behaviors are a product in some way of each organism’s environment and their history of experiencing environmental contingencies.
