Actually I have the meaning of this word from book, but I want to know how to paraphrase the meaning.

The following is the meaning that the book provided.

False consciousness: In Marxist theory, the process by which the real economic imbalances of the dominant social system get hidden and ordinary citizens come to believe in the perfection of the system that in fact oppresses them. The biblical phrase "the meek shall inherit the earth" would be considered by Marxism to be an example of false consciousness, as it tells the downtridden not to rebel against the system but to instead await later reward, 20th century developments in Marxism see the concept of false consciousness as itself potentially oppressive because it characterized the masses as unware dupes of the system, In contrast, concepts such as hegemony emphasize the active struggle people engage in over meanings rather than their passive acceptance of ideological systems.

What process before birth triggers the affect of consciousness in humans and animals in general?

You don't have to have a PhD to know that there is no way to "accurately" answer this. There are a number of different criterion that could be used to state when "consciousness" occurs. And - big surprise - there is still some debate on the nature of consciousness. If the "experts" hold differening ideas on what consciousness is and where it is seated, you can imagine the debate over when it begins. As to the actuall process that "triggers the affect of consciousness" in humans? Your priest or pastor could make as good a guess as anyone in the field of biology or biochimestry. For real.
