Consciousness both perceives the parts and integrates them. In that sense it appears self emergent. Some might say that reality only exists within consciousness.

Its hard to say what something is if you can never be outside of it.

Doomed to be both the observer and the one being observed, but never allowed to be either entirely. Until death maybe!

i guess you could argue that reality would still 'exist' without consciousness

but then again there would be nothing to experience the qualia so how would you know?

its wild/weird stuff , but it only seems that way becuz we were previously led/misled to believe something else/different XD

Yeah existential philosophy is just wierd. It's something most people think about but I honestly believe no one really has a clue and the people that do know you can't put some things into words, you can only directly experience a transcendental state.
