I would be likely to say that 'your consciousness is many things, which all affect one and other'. This is the interesting (to me) aspect of the entire conversation here.. if.. consciousness is all there is.. then, what we are differentiating between are the infinite appearances in which consciousness can arise as. I don't really see a body or mind affecting 'consciousness' or vice versa. Of course, if we are speaking of consciousness as 'awareness' and related, as many (to most) western scientists would, then it makes sense to talk about cause and effect.

It is definitely one of my favorite things to contemplate. Interestingly, so many ancient traditions are focused on consciousness such as Kabballah and the Egyptian mysteries though they are usually cloaked in myth and metaphor. Once you realize that most "religious" traditions are speaking in metaphor of internal states and processes within one's consciousness the rabbit hole gets very deep.
