well, you begin by stating that the perceiver and consciousness and awareness are all the same thing.
there is no conflict, yet there is....
consciousness is all things - it is the perceiver, that which is being perceived and that which is creating that which is being perceived. Awareness is the underlying state of being, and the perceiver is the egoic mind/physical body with which consciousness perceives itself in various states of being.
The perceiver, or egoic mind which uses the physical body to perceive creation is like the lens of consciousness, the mirror if you will - it is not consciousness per se, but a manifestation in itself, or a tool used to for consciousness to observe itself. but, as a creation it is still consciousness.
when the egoic mind diminishes and becomes aware of the higher self (consciousness) and then we can say we are self aware.
