The thing is that our "mind" (I assume you mean brain) is a physical object that we can measure and has some sort of physical value.
We have proven this and a large part about what makes us think the way we do and how we react.
From what we've observed by studying the universe there's no reason to think that it needs some sort of "Master controller" to function.
Just like our brain, there's a certain system to things. Stuff usually don't just happen for an inexplicable and none-sensical reason and when they do they're called anomalies.
A temporary label for irregularity which usually ends up having a pretty good reason.
With our brain we call that system psychology and that's why the human mind can be systematically bend in a certain direction through torture, mental-stress and sometimes something as simple as certain words in a specific order.
It's psychology.
A better example would be to say that what the the laws of physics are to the universe as psychology is to the brain - It can be controlled and bent.
Now the boundary for the human brain is usually death and this is not to be taken as litteral as I may have put it.
Obviously the stability of the human brain is more relative than the existence of the laws of physics.
But with a lot more research in quantum-physics I would not be suprised to some day read that the laws of physics may not be set completely in stone or that someone has found a way to bend them in our favor.
And once again - Obviously this could potentially have the same catastrophic result as a brain being pushed too far.
But the entire argument of the universe/some deity being equivalent to whatever; is a pretty retarded argument overall, as anything that is the creator of or IS everything that has ever been and will ever be, wouldn't be comparable to anything but that thing alone.
