"My guestimate is that consciounsness itself is somehow involved in the existence of the universe"

I remember reading something someplace that put forth the idea that the universe itself is conscious.

...and it gets better...
This conscious universe created us (and all living things) in an effort to understand itself.

I like it!!
Just visualize... infinite universe bubbles all bumping up against each other, growing and shrinking at the unspoken insistence of those surrounding it...
...with all of them all the while wondering "Who/what am I?".

On the "If I can't see it, it doesn't exist" front...
ONLY a human could be that insanely stupidly arrogant (right up there with "the earth is flat" and "the earth is the center of the universe" crowd).
It is just one more step in the endless history of human ego.
There must be a god...because we are so cool.
The universe is here....because we are so cool.
Everything everywhere across all time exists....because we are so cool.

The ONLY redeeming point of humanity is imagination.
...and it is such a shame they seem to spend so much time looking in a mirror instead.

On the "more fun than pissy, but we still have no idea how all this stuff works" front:

Man....we are SOOOOOOOOO cool...........
