I am not sure that I would define consciousness as life. For me a simpler question would be: What is not alive? I guess my answer would be nothing. Our anthropomorphic view of our environment has resulted in our discounting or devaluing life, if it does not resemble our form of life. So, for example, plant life. Very much life, yet no nervous system. I consider rocks alive. I consider Earth and other planets alive. I think if it has mass, it is alive. I guess I define life as energy (love). I don't know if light or darkness is alive, I haven't really thought about it. Good thread tho, Guille.
