im glad you feel like the universe is intelligent, or god is all, or reality exists inside your consciousness, but there is no evidence to support any of those claims about objective reality and therefore they are either your guesses, or your subjective points of view.

well as long as we are entertaining guesses and or subjective points of view how about this one: we are all just rats in a maze.

what is reality?
a maze

what is life
trying to get through the maze

what is science
measuring the maze

what is religion
guessing at why the maze is here

what are video games?
playing a simulation of the maze within the maze

what is free will
choosing which path you take within the maze

what is determinism
only having one path in the maze

who am i?
the software guidance system that directs my biological hardware unit through the maze

what is happiness?
finding some cheese in the maze

haha, just as much proof for my guesses and subjective points of view as there is for yours.
its a good thing we have science which gives us objective knowledge of the one objective reality. so we can put down guesses and subjective points of view and all agree on something. that we are not rats in a maze, that we are humans, and that the universe is not intelligent or god, thats its matter and natural laws.
