It is certainly an interesting perspective but there is nothing to suggest the Universe as a whole is just a mind or even has a will.

The Universe is an interconnectivity and interaction of its parts. If one takes a snapshot of the Universe, one will find that it changes in a systematic fashion.

This seems like it would belong more in the religion/metaphysics/political forum than here.

I will turn it into a scientific question the. Is the universe a giant brain?

Is the brain a mini universe? Is the mind a reflection of the Cosmos?
