Consciousness is not a ghostly doubling of the world inside your head, as the word may suggest, but rather must be that in which you, the world and your head appear. But 'appear' is wrong here - none of this appears, it simply is. You and the world are an inseparable whole and understood this way the whole can be fairly misnamed as consciousness because of peculiar moebius twist in the 'you' direction and the absence of anything else.
