The terms consciousness and awareness for the context of what is, and their associated problems, introduce a bias towards a passive witnessing, the correlative of qualia - they are consciousness of..., or awareness of ..., and hence intentionality and its baggage. The only way that a ground of this kind can be productive or can overcome the introduced gap between subject and object is though some kind of idealism. Different terms are needed if the core is a kind of activity, a doing without a doer. This opens a window to a relation or response to givenness beyond the circumference of ownness, an other-ownness in whose embrace you have emerged for a time.
