The word consciousness in everyday usage inclines more towards the sense of self-consciousness, of a kind of queasy friction in action, of immaturity, of being new to a task and lacking confidence, and so refers to something it were desirable to be free from. Looking n to consciousness n this sense is looking into what you most do not want to see, you lingering unreadiness for life. As the condition or universal pre-condition for there to be any experience at all, for the 'what it's like'-ness of it consciousness is used in a technical sense, whose use depends on one's having been captured by certain thought experiments without a clear resolution. It is assumed in the discourse that everyone has encountered these and butted up against their aporias. That the same word is used in both senses is worth questioning. The zest in experiences wholly lacking in self-consciousness, experiences without literary residue, might well completely escape this terminology.
