Besides, you are attacking here a strawman. 1) Not only my consciousness exists, but others as well. 2) Those other consciousnesses can be anything, not only demons and angels. The type of consciousnesses that exist are constrained at least in part by evolutionary context. 3) The interaction of consciousnesses is in part evolutionary. We are not living in a "physical" world, we are living in an evolutionary world in which consciousnesses adapt one to another and evolve new qualia in order to meet those adaptations. The qualia that are present in a particular consciousness cannot be predicted, because they always appear as answers to evolutionary contexts.
