It sounds like you are just calling the universe a body - which it isn't in any literal sense of the word - so that you can justify attributing a mind to it. Which you can't. Because that doesn't make sense.
It make sense because all the elements that compose the universe are in us as well.
In totally different stages of evolution but they are there.
There is no other way to describe two similar things.
If the universe would only be made up of air or only of water or only of matter then we could not say that the universe is a body but because the universe has all the elements that we also have we can say that it is a body.
All the elements that are in the universe are also in an automobile. Does that mean that a car has mind-consciousness? This is nothing but an analogy failure. The universe doesn't have all the elements of the human body because it doesn't have mind-consciousness. It also doesn't have hands, an anus, a mouth, or a vagina. You've taken a parallel between two things and assumed that because those are parallel, everything must be parallel. That's just stupid. Moreover, we take actions such as picking up an apple. The universe doesn't take actions, it just obeys the laws of nature. There is not the slightest hint that it has a mind. It isn't a zombie because it doesn't act. It's simply lifeless, with no mind governing it.
