It would seem by your logic that this means consciousness isn't fundamental; there is something 'underneath' that at times is in control of our conscious states.
no, this only shows that 'our' consciousness is not fundamental. it doesn't eliminate the possibility *some of our conscious states are controlled by a greater consciousness.

Are you suggesting that if I feel sad or frightened or lonely, it's because God is causing me to feel that?
