The mind sees the universe the same way it sees the inside of a bathroom, as a globe around itself. We have just added the theory that it is something other than that, but there is no proof that it is.

I was really trying to describe consciousness in the context of what we experience--a 3-dimensional world. The inside of the football, in this model at least (which is consistent with Special and General relativity) is a totally different space, outside of our 4-D universe structure.
I won't try to deny you whatever speculation you may have about how consciousness may participate in that space (our 4-D spacetime must be embedded in a hyperspace), but I was trying to describe a concept that is consistent with what we know and experience so far.
Maybe our inner experience arises from interactions with media of higher dimensions--I don't know and haven't seen a systematic argument compelling one to accept that concept. I could make up a theory that says that we were all born two microseconds ago with a memory, but by a number of criteria that would not be an interesting theory to throw on the table.
