Consciousness: Is it seperate from the human body?

But the level that we believe we know all about, is no more than an illusion, and we all live in that illusion because we all have the same senses. We all agree on what a colour is, what a sound is and on and on, but again its only one small level. As it is said, "if a tree falls and there is no one there, does it make a sound ?", well there is vibration, but no sound, there needs to be a hearing apparatus to convert the vibration into what we call sound, and this goes for everything else.

Thats an answer to a question I didn't asked. I asked, how do you know that someone cannot completely comprehend someone else idea?

Also, your answer is wrong. Not everything is obtained from our senses. For example, mathematical truths are not experienced through our senses. Mathematical truths are arrived through deduction.
