Observable
Consciousness is an internal phenomenon, directly observable only to the experiencer.
About the underlined part, is it a modifier of "an internal phenomenon" (i.e an internal phenomenon, (which is) directly observable only to the experiencer), or the complement of "is" as "an internal phenomenon" is (i.e Consciousness is an internal phenomenon and directly observable only to the experiencer)?

Top answer
The way I read it the underlined part is directly related to 'consciousness'. You can remove 'an internal phenomenon' and the sentence still reads coherently.
