I agree that we can be the end result of the "universe" trying to understand itself, but for me, this has to be a supernatural or spiritual event. The spirit of human beings is what connects us to each other and to the universe in every way.

the spirit is the important part, the flesh is the temporary. If all I am and have been is a collection of dirt and shit than I am truly nothing, and I might as well do as it is written," Eat and drink for tomorrow we shall die!" But there is a hope beyond the temporary. If energy is eternal, and I am made up of energy, then I am eternal. If I have a consciousness in this temporary phase of my eternal existence, than I can only assume that this consciousness will continue on through eternity.

but remember, I do not even believe in the concreteness of the physical universe, it is merely a projection of how the soul interprets the energy (e=mc2) of the universe.. essentially the physical universe is a lovely story, a fabled explanation of the energy (ie, God) of the universe.

We have created our own physical universe in order to make sense of ourselves..
