As I see it, there is no reason to think that the universe is conscious. There is no evidence of it, nor is there any need for it.

That is pantheism and has been around a long time. It's for folks that just like to hold on!

I do lean toward thinking that consciousness is primary in the universe and that our individual consciousness is an extension of universal consciousness. The concept resonates deeply with me on an intuitive level.

Unless you are willing to consider ESP research there’s really no scientific proof, but it is an intriguing bit of metaphysics. A number of many eminent physicists have proposed the concept in one form or another, and the idea is prominent in Hindu philosophy.

Here’s a link that describes some recent work:
