How about: consciousness is a sensory input that senses the brains own internal state and of which the brain makes use in the same way as it's other senses.
Consciousness actually means a number of different things, so any one definition will make discussion problematic. There really should be a number of different definitions for qualia/subjective consciousness, empirical consciousness etc.
nawitus, my post was too long as it is. If I had included multiple discussions of multiple definitions of consciousness and qualia, you would either still be reading it or would have stopped because it was too long.
And that's why we need an article somewhere which would define some common terms, so you don't have to define them all over again in every article about consciousness.
