Communication is two-way, there is no communication when the one you are talking to is not responding. But if the one you are talking to response, it must mean that you are talking to something or someone that has the capacity to respond. And when someone or something has that capacity to respond, that suggests consciousness, but although consciousness is present, it may not have the intelligence that you have.
Example: If you see an ant, and you block its pathway, the ant would respond trying to find a new pathway, that ant has consciousness, but may not have the intellect that you have.
Was the consciousness then reduced to a level of an ant? No! It was not the consciousness that was reduced, rather the biological structure, so that in the case of an ant, that ant biological structure is incapable of handling intelligent consciousness, it can handle only consciousness relative to his biological structure.
And I believe this applies to all. Consciousness is not reducible, but depending on the biological structure, the manifestation becomes relative. Consciousness is vast and fundamental in the universe, it holds information of everything in the universe, an all mind comprehending all things. Our human brain structure is incapable of handling the fullness of this consciousness, we can only grasp a bit of it, enough for us to be intellectual above all other creatures.
If you notice, when a baby is born, the baby’s brain is not yet fully developed, here the baby does not manifest much intelligence, it does not mean that consciousness was reduced in that baby, rather the baby’s biological structure is not yet capable of handling higher intelligence. As the baby grows, the brain develops increasing its capacity to handle consciousness, but the brain development at some point will reach its maximum limit, at this point, that brain can only handle consciousness according to that limit.
