Does the air we breath have a conscious?

Here's a thought I'd love to share with everyone. I can't say that there was a "EURIKA!" moment which made me realize this, it was more of a gradual experiencing proccess.

Let's start off with a quick look at what does it mean to have a conscious? In my personal opinion a conscious is more or less a "reaction to action" mechanism. It lets us experience, and/or feel, and/or think to make conclusions on those experiences. Now why do I say and/or? Because from my personal experience you can simply experience. In some altered states of conscious you may not be aware of any senses, you may remember that you're even human or exist in this physical vibration, and even further so you may not be thinking about what's happening at all until later you look back at the experience. This leads me to conclude that a conscious is simply an experience. It doesn't need lingustics, intellectual knowledge, or even thought. In the same way you can experience without seeing, hearing, or even feeling. I belive this state of "empty conscious", which does not base it's experience on anything we have learned or even felt, is the same state of emptiness that occurs in deep states of meditation.

After this initial thought, or realization more so, I started to expand on the theory. My conscious operates on the tools it has been given, specifically from being a multi-cell organism. Every cell in my body (and yours too) is working together to provide an experience for our conscious. When my skin touches the keyboard nerve endings (made up of thousands of cells) send information one by one up to my brain, where a part of that recognizes the signal and explains it to our conscios experience. From there we make our reactions to the actions that have been presented.

So what about plants? What about the tree that is growing outside my house? Does it experience? Does it have a conscious? Surely it's alive! It breathes in carbon dioxide and exhales oxygen (even though it has no lungs I would still call it breathing), so does it experience? And if so to which extent? I believe it's conscious in the same way we are. It doesn't have the same tools as we do (a.k.a. not built of the same cells, a.k.a. the DNA of the tree is mapped differently, a.k.a. the electrons that it is made of are a different form of conscious), but it has it's own tools. Where we can hear with our ears, it can feel around in the dirt, tell whether or not the sun is shining, and even which direction the wind is coming from. I'm sure the tree doesn't have too great of an understanding of north, east, south, or west, but certain plants do turn slightly in order to match the wind and the sun so at least it knows the direction relevant to it's own being.

So this tree grows roots, and in order to grow further it has avoid obstacles like large rocks, fossils, remains, minerals, etc... So the tree in it's own way is feeling around the ground, experencing the soil, and it's conscious is making decisions. Does the tree see? Who knows, but probably not. Yet it feels the ground, the air, the sun, etc... So the tree's conscious is very different from ours, a lot more sensual than logical, but it's a conscious none the less, an experience of being. My conclusion is that the tree does have a conscious.

I hope that didn't sound too farfetched for you, because we're about to go even deeper in to this question of conscious. While the tree is alive with thousands of cells, and we're alive with thousands of cells, it wasn't too far of a jump to think that maybe plants are conscious. Now what about "none-living" physical energies? The only reason I put quotation marks is because whether or not my table is alive is a very subjectively arbitrary question. Let's think of air for example. Does it experience? Does it have a conscious?

Rather than cells working together, the air is more so made up of atoms that create gasses which in the end make up "air". Air is technically just nitrogen, oxygen, and other gasses. Which is similar to how we are technically just eyes, hairs, nails, and other body parts. They all work together, just as with air. I think the way the air "experiences" it's conscious is very different from us, or even the tree, but in a way similar. Wind is obviously air, so there's cold fronts, hot frunts, wind patterns, etc... They all have a system, and certain stimuli (or actions per se) done to that system create certain reactions (for example a tornado). If we put a heater on then certain parts of the air will heat up and move up higher while the colder parts move down. It experiences and reacts, just like the tree, just like us.

So my final conclusion is that yes, the air we breathe does have a conscious. It may not be a conscious most of us can even imagine given the lack of personal experience in being air (or anything other than human), but I believe it to be a conscious none the less. Please remember that every single theory, conclusion, or even "fact" is subjectively arbitrary and I would love to hear any one's thoughts on this topic whether they agree with me or not.
