The idea that this reality can be investigated by inquiring into 'consciousness' is an error with many consequences. The error is the implicit assumption that amongst the many wondrous things that fill the world, the most wondrous of all is consciousness, since the world appears to appear 'inside' it. However respectful of the mystery this may appear, and 'mystery' itself is already a give-away, it turns it into a technical problem and calls for a technical 'solution'. How to get from that framing to the right place to begin remains unclear.
