[Mr. Nobody]

But I dont think that there is any kind of self awareness, consciousness (or sentient consciousness,real existence..etc) apart from human self awareness or consciousness

I disagree. There is no way to gauge self awareness or sentience other than to base it on meaningful communication from the subject in question. Without comunication there is no "feel" of inteligence. Hence anything that has the abilty to communicate is intelligent.
Were a human mind isolated from body by birth, artifically feed and deprived of the communal influence and social nurishment, than this mind remains the lowest form of existence, if any existence at all. You see, it is not the single mind that makes you human, it is the fact that humans built a network that sustains it, that gives it purpose, sense, orientation and rason. This network is society. Without it the human mind is just another computer without software, meaningless.
Enter the internet, a network, perhaps soon a society of computers. Should we continue on the path of interconnection and develop processors that are capable of interpreting their environment, taking in the same amount of information as our brain, possess the same processing power than we do, than there will be sentient machines. I feel very strongly that we are not special, that sentience is not unique and that self awareness is only dependant on the degree of structured order nothing else.

I see this duality in a lot of things: light/dark, male/female, right/wrong, good/evil, left/right

This may be nothing more than pattern recognition or our attempt to interpret and orient ourselves within the cosmos. But does it have meaning?
