Yes, everything arises from consciousness. The physical illusion is a dream of consciousness. If, within the illusion, this does not seem to be the case, then the illusion is working. It's pointless to try to prove Reality by looking within the illusion. All that will be found is more evidence verifying the illusion.

Nothing can be really separate in existence. As soon as we say that some IS separated in an absolute sense, then we are fooling ourselves. Science today is a bit immature in this regard. Not even what we call orthogonal dimensions in spacetime can REALLY be totally separate from each other. al. The point was that Reality can never be found by examining the illusion. If it is, there will be no more illusion. It would be like hunting around in your nightly dreams for proof that you exist as a real person. The fun thing about science is that it's discovering it's own creations. As human awareness expands, new dreams are created which contain new 'answers' to the questions of science. It's a little like planting Easter eggs around the yard, and then hunting for them next Easter, when you've forgotten where you hid them.
