More on Searle's consciousness

I really like his take on what consciousness is. He describes it very well, and sets the boundaries for it as well. I've never really had it broken down like that before. I especially liked the point about unity, because how can one say that they are truly in a state of consciousness if they can't remember the previous statement they made? Or even the beginning of that sentence? Basically, just being ALIVE doesn't count as being conscious in his definition, because neurons aren't really firing, thoughts aren't being processed, moods aren't being associated with different states, ideas aren't intentional, and so on.
