So, it would seem that you believe in the primacy of existence, as opposed to the primacy of consciousness. That's a bit unusual for a Christian, since most Christians believe that their god is the creator of existence.
As IATIA stated, if existence comes before a god, then god seems a bit superfluous.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
