Consciousness is always conscious of something.
To be conscious of space (for instance)is to be conscious of space.
But you can focus your attention on something so completely that it becomes everything - I do have sympathy with the notion but it does (IMO) need to be explained fairly carefully.

But none of that is currently part of the scientific method and so it follows that science cannot access reality 1 and all that is left is intersubjectivity...

All consciousness is intersubjectivity.
How the world is aside from consciousness is unknowable to us as a matter of principle.
In fact the scientists are sort of concluding that the world isn't one way or the other without consciousness - though stuffed if I understand how it is they can measure that!
