Are you saying that the universe is conscious?
Back in the early '90s when I was still going to (Catholic) church, there was a movement afoot to embrace multiculturalism, which partly was to embrace just that "consciousness", ala the Native American belief that all things have some "spirit" in them. That was 25+ years ago, and I haven't been inside a church more than a handful of times since, so I don''t know how that sat with the pope or the rest of the hierarchy in the long run.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
