You are seeing what you see through your mind, but the mind cannot see beyond what the mind see's, your little package that is wrapped up in skin, is designed to feel separate, so as to live your life as a so called human being. This universal consciousness is all there is, this consciousness isn't within us, we are within it, and we are not separate from it, if we were then there would be something outside of the universe, outside of consciousness, but there isn't, its all an illusion, and it can be a beautiful illusion if we realize it is an illusion, it becomes a game, we no longer take life so serious, this is what is known as enlightenment, or awakening.emphasis mine
I wouldn't argue that we or I are separate from the universe. We are all part of the universe. The atoms which make us up once make up other things and will make up other things again in due time. We can't see or understand the whole universe. --- That's as far as I can agree with you.
The universe does not appear to be working together. There is certainly is no sign of any "universal consciousness." This has nothing to do with whether we take life seriously or not. It has to do with complete lack of evidence of either universal cooperation or consciousness.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
