Yes, but my awareness does not stop me from running my consciousness. What you just wrote above is exactly the meaning you wanted to convey.
I don't separate awareness and consciousness as such. It is my biology that is running my awareness and consciousness. Not some intrinsic self.-Humpty Dumpty would approve ... but I am not so sure regarding meaning. I am trying to express a monistic concept in dualistic words.
> But you and I will agree the buses are 'red', even though the retina and the occipital cortex go through biochemical contortions to convince us. 
No, I don't think so.-We have an agreed upon nomenclature for certain visual experiences. And bear in mind that not everyone has the same experience of colour.
If the bus were actually 'red' that would be an amazing coincidence.-> We cannot have first degree awareness using a biologic system.
I am not claiming we have first degree awareness using a biologic systems (whatever that means).
