Ya, I've always wondered like do blood cells in my body have any awareness that I'm not just a planet they live on? Would we know if the earth was just some part of a bigger living structure with its own consciousness? Does it even need to be conscious, or just show movement that is non random and influenced in some ways by goals or agenda? Many organisms act as per the goal to survive even if not conscious, and so probably can be considered a life-form? Corporations are an example of that like you said.
