Again, this is what you believe, not evidence to support the claim. Now, it might be a different thing, but it's still one of the assertions you subscribe to, and not a framework telling us why it is so.
Example: I have a belief that the earth is round. When asked why, I can bring up the motions of heavenly bodies in the earth's sky, how access to space has allowed us to visually confirm the three dimensional shape of the planet, etc etc. What you have done here is the equivalent of me, upon being asked to support my assertion, simply saying "I've already told you what evidence I have: the earth is round."
Consciousness can not be perceived by the physical senses for the simple reason that is not physical so if you expect a physical evidence you can not get any.
By practicing yoga you will have to withdraw your senses and concentrate in a non physical dimension.
By developing this science you can penetrate to higher level of consciousness and this consciousness stay with you so you know that is a reality.
Now this evidence can not be transfer from me to you and is fair that it work in this way as it should stay with the one who fight for not to the one who would like without having fight for.
You can see a bright aura around saints and spiritual minded people and at the same time you can perceive a dark feeling around rapist and murderers.
All this is clear evidence that you can build your consciousness or you can destroy your consciousness as you go along.

The more you develop your consciousness and the more you realize that you are stuck in a body.
The problem with so many people is that they have developed the canary syndrome which means that they are so used to live in a cage that they can not contemplate a life outside as they loss their ability to survive outside a cage.
My spiritual teacher was telling how the muslim women are so used to wear something that cover their face that it become the normality when in reality goes against nature so to get used to something does not means that that is normal on the contrary in many cases means to go against nature.
