That's the prevailing view of science. Others disagree, positing consciousness
both immanent and transcendent. Evidence? Experience reported by mystics, 
confirmed throughout the ages by those who follow mystic practices. Pirsig
posits something similar: immanent and transcendent Quality from evidence
presented in Lila, the SODV paper and other writings of Mr. Pirsig. So
while you may be right, you could be wrong.
