Consciousness matters

Yesterday, I enjoyed VPRO’s Technologie als religie and it makes me wonder. It makes me wonder if consciousness matters, literally ?
What if consciousness is the basis and matter is ‘just’ its observer effect, in that observation (by consciousness) triggers the wave–particle duality to collapse into matter. Observation can be done by any combination of senses, maybe even spiritual senses.
Also, what if, when we see a cup standing on the table, we have both been so conditioned to materialise that cup that we see the same cup, albeit from different perspectives. You may as well say that we project the cup, we materialise the cup from consciousness, The conditioning is the effect of life long exposure to its design and evolution. This extreme form of conditioning comes from our everlasting conversations and communications about that cup, it literally forms (and thus conditions) our mind.
Yet, if it is a form of conditioning, we can unlearn that conditioning and replace it with another. This implies we can create anything. Then again, “we” must be a projection ourselves. Do “we” materialise ourselves, mutually?
So, consciousness creates the material world. It’s a self-aware universe.
Meditation and awareness is our technique to, ever so slightly, lift the veil of this severe conditioning so we may experience a glimpse of the omnipresent consciousness.
If consciousness matters, literally, many things fall into place, make the whole simpler, more understandable, clearer, right?
Does this make any sense at all?
Also, how does this relate to modern metaphysical idealism, or does it?
I am very interested in exploring this interesting field.
Please note that I am an ever learning layman in many fields, especially fields like quantum mechanics.
