Without consciousness you experience a single unified reality: your reality.
You need consciousness to “step outside” into a 3rd person or 2nd person view.

To me the word "experience" is what consciousness seems to be about. In that case without consciousness you can "step outside" and everything, but you would have no "internal experience" of any sort. i.e. be a "philosophical zombie" [1].
