Only one word needs to be added for it to be accurate (if unexciting).

The most astounding fact about the universe is the knowledge that everything we consciously perceive—color, sound, and even energy itself—is a process that involves our consciousness.

No, it's implicit the way it is.

Perception entails consciousness, unless you have a weird definition of perception.
