Ham,
"Metaphysics is...that part of philosophy which
deals with the nature and structure of reality.
(RMP. "Lila" p. 71)
In your metaphysics there is "the possibility
of a reality that transcends finite existence". But this
possibility need not be part of every metaphysics.
(To claim it is, is to beg the question.)
1) Consciousness is not an 'existent'
2) Whatever is not an 'existent' can only be explained
by a reality that transcends finite existence
3) :. Consciousness can only be explained
by a reality that transcends finite existence.
But what is your support for 1) other than 3)?
(Which would be circular.)
