Arjen.

No, I do not think a distinction is at all necessary. Consciousness is the outer world, your body is object in that world, no different in its nature than any other object., it occupies both time and space. PS: I think all forms consciousness are aware of their centre, they are just not all going to make philosophical statements about it.
