You can't see anything other than the physical, but that says more about what you can see than about what there is. By saying : everything I see = everything there is, you're making a positive statement about your capability to see what there is. You're saying that you can see all there is. You're using the fact that you can see certain things to justify a belief that you can see all. Now, if you don't really believe that you can see all, then that immediately opens the door to speculation about other things. Since you can only see certain things, you can't use those things as evidence of other things. So you need to use logic and thought experiments to at least establish a possibility that what you see isn't all you get. Being limited in what you see means that there's a limit to what you can see, which means that there's more. If you admit to being limited, you admit to there being something beyond your limits. Limit doesn't mean absolute end, it means a point where something stops, in this case, your ability to see. When you put an end to something, you don't say "I limitted it", you say "I finished it, I ended it, it is no more". Limit means boundary, restriction, extent. If you're limited, then by definition there is more. That's why it's perfectly reasonable to assume (very safely) that the physical is not all there is. As for evidence that everything is consciousness, I have none.
