Sure there is ... you just coin new words with defined meanings.

Stripping words of their defined meanings doesn't unlimit thought, it just muddies it.

I think Brum's objection echos my own. By using the word "awareness" (which entails the notion of consciousness) to describe matter in general you are smuggling in the notion that matter is conscious, when the consciousness of matter is the question in dispute. That's certainly not helpful and borders on dishonesty.
