Marco,I would like to address the questions you posed.What are my reasons
to believe that the universe is aware?Good question,I will try and answer it.
I have been searching for answers to this very question for the past forty five years,In that time of earnest searching nothing has come even close to
this which,discovered me about twenty years ago.The reason I accept this is
because every atom in my being says "that this is so"all the study,all the
personal questing,travelling the world searching for clues,and answers,
meditating,and pondering for years.heated exchanges between friends,at the
end of this,Mindfullness the universal Constant came to rest within,I have asked my mind,is that so! It replied!it is so! I asked my soul,is that so!it said
Yes that is so!Now after twenty years or so of my accepting this,science,
and physics are beginning to say that all is mind,and that the universe is the
embodiment of consciousness itself.One last point you made regard Occams
Razor,"multiples should not be posited without necessity" "One should not
increase,beyond what is necessary,the number of entities required to explain
anything".Well in this case then I am well within the Razors strop,as there is
only one entity,that of mindful Ideation.
kind regards michael.
