The consciousness of the universe

Nature has given us a hint. When you fall asleep at night, the activity of your own mind appears as a physical world from the perspective of a separate subject of experience in that world. Now, just go up one level and consider that what appears to us as a physical world is the activity of a universal mind or consciousness whose nature is consciousness, not whose nature is consciousness, not matter, but it only appears as physical matter when perceived through the sense perceptions of a separate subject of experience within that world.
