we are aware of the life inhabiting our bodies because we feel it but is that life congnitive of itself not of its host. It host is after all a corpse until it quickens with the energy of life. Life may be like a parisite moving from host to host. I need lots of thoughts on this topic..

This is still open for debate...
The God people will say that life and even AIR and DIRT have the consciousness that is THE ALMIGHTY...But this is clearly bunk...
Life is generally aware of other life, but since we only know our own perspective, it would be hard to say what other life thinks of us...We can assume that because other life lacks the use of abstract language, that their notions are simpler and more direct...and probably more honest...
There has been a bit of a revival of the theories of the "morphogenic field" and of group consciousness, but not much substance has been established in this area, still it bears investigation. I think that this is the closest thing to scientific inquiry into the idea you are interested in...Link below...

In a manner of speaking. It is similar to the consciousness of the wave as it breaks upon the rock. It would not shatter, if the rock were not there. So life is deflected and shattered as it breaks upon the objects it encounters. Sending it off into new directions even as it slowly wears the objects away until they are gone and then it doesn't resume it's course, it only goes another way.

This is very fine thinking, but how would you say that you are aware of life, a life besides you in existence?
We are aware of life as an expression of, lets say some divinity, in a physical form but the reality of this expression is unknown, or it is beyond the scope of traditional human knowledge.
All I can say that our awareness is outwardly pointing. It emerges from the depths of our mind and as it moves outwardly into a visible realistic world we see more things, whereas in the origin it all come to unite into one being in existence.

Life is energy. Energy moves matter. Matter forms objects. Objects can become aware.
So - is life aware of us? In some sense yes...
Is life intelligent? I would have to argue that it must be to some extent in order to be able to do what is does in the universe.

Life is a condition and not an entity so it has no awareness.
