All its (humans) interactions with the universe is via its consciousness.[...]

LOL... What? No - none of that seems true. Have you got any evidence to justify those bold assertions, which you seem to be taking for granted? Can you even define some of the terms you're using? No, I didn't think so...

What does it mean to "know most perfectly well one's own consciousness and its associated experiences"? Most people seem to know next to nothing about the mechanics of their psychology and the "associated experiences" vary from person to person, depending on - guess what? - the experiences they've had.

What is "very inception of one's own consciousness"? Is that birth? Some time before that? Some time later? What?
Are you trying to say that humans are born with intimate knowledge of their thinking processes and don't have to consciously learn about them? LOL - that's idiotic and demonstrably untrue. Where did you copy this horsesh*t from?

Also - not all humans' interactions with their environment are conducted through consciousness. Sub-conscious is the best example, but also all sorts of involuntary mechanisms our brains employ in order to control our bodies and react to external stimuli. When your fingers are burned by a flame - do you consciously take your hand away, or does it jut happen, often very violently, before you even know what's going on?

If you don't mind, I'm going to skip the rest of your efforts, until you're able to address the numerous problems with just the first few sentences of your post.
