In short:
- You cannot point to your consciousness nor can you feel it directly
- You can direct [point] your attention to the respective consciousness at any of the 6 sense doors to which you can feel the sensations born out of contact (passa - also see: What is the definition of passa ?)
In the case you point to your eye through body consciousness by feeling the sensations around the eye. Here you are not pointing to the eye consciousness but directing your attention to the body consciousness around where the eye physically exist.
In the case what to point to an object of the eye you direct your attention to the eye consciousness whereby you see the object at the eye.
In both cases above once contact with the eye happens this is followed by the contact with the mind in which further processing and thinking is done.
