I don't doubt your consciousness experiences are real but anyone, even you, can doubt that consciousness is fundamental. That's why there are so many positions on the issue and you can understand those positions.

Anyway, sounds like you're waxing idealist, in which case the position is unfalsifiable and pratically pretty much useless.
