Consciousness is a cleaning house that selects, colors, and adds flavor to the raw stimuli that is bombarded on our selves - both from external world and internal.
Consciousness is something that defines human beings. This is the psychological dimension of self, which enables us to have a subjective reality, independent of the objective reality.
This helps us to prioritize, select, and also modify stimuli, and give them specific meaning.
This makes a person poet, enables a person to lie, enables the painter to paint, and also a scientist to postulate theories.
Attention is a psychic energy which orders consciousness. It is a magnetic field that directs the consciousness - the energy of the nervous system. Attention is the sole factor that decides the quality of our lives. An extrovert will be mingling with people and socializing in a party, a paranoid might be busy finding excuses to be fearful in the same party, whereas a high achiever might be busy creating business alliances in the party. All have their attentions aligned in different ways. The quality of each of their existence is defined by the attention they give to their consciousness.
This is what is meant by one person's food is other's poison - based on the alignment of his/her consciousness.
