Do you mean consistent between us (i.e. it's mysterious that we
agree on
what we're observing) ?
No - that it is consistent with oneself, as an observer. Why couldn't
we be a disembodied observer playing a virtual reality game? A p-ghost
as someone put it recently.
Of course with comp, we *are* disembodied observer playing in
infinitely many virtual games.
The bodies and material realities are consciousness stabilizers,
bringing the appearances of the primitive matter. But the "primitive "
aspect of that matter is an illusion.
