John Lilly is the one who has come closest to solving this problem. Because the observations made with consciousness can be altered by consciousness you have to minimize its influence by minimizing external experience as much as possible. That is how you solve it for yourself. You cannot expect someone else to solve it for you because your own consciousness gets in the way and makes any observation unreliable. You must experiment on your own consciousness' limits, and on what it is capable of imagining. You are not likely to find the answer externally.

Ask yourself in the most sincere way possible how do you know whether the sky is blue or whether you're wearing blue tinted glasses, or whatever argument about your current observation of reality not being reliable one can give(simulation,brain in the vat etc.). Do you have any proof your current level of consciousness is the base and unfiltered one? What have you done to verify this? Yes, I know it's a tired argument but instead of dismissing without thought it like you've always done, do yourself a service for once and test it like Lilly did, like any true scientist would. Reach for the most unfiltered, base level of consciousness you can achieve and make your observations there.
