'It's' would be the intelligent contraction. :ohwell:

Nature is a mind of some sort. It is not a catch-all concept for a bunch of living stuff that spawned because of laws. Nature is a mind. The sun and the clouds aren't even physical entities, whether or not the sun is out where you are is dependent on your cognitive state. This is how it is, it's a mental construct, all within one self. It may not have been put there by anyone, which just adds to the strangeness, but who is there but you anyway?

I agree every act of nature is behind a mind, its the designer of consciousness. Its fully aware of what it is and its all knowing in perfected purpose. It doesn't have a beginning and nothing has the power to create it. Its beauty is witnessed by all and its love is displayed to see. Good post circastes

Nice flat declarations with zero substantiation. Why just make stuff up?

Here is an image of a lion 'loving' a zebra. What kind of sick entity would set up such a system of brutality?

There's no evidence the actions of the universe stem from a cognitive function, though there is evidence cognitive functions stem from the actions of the universe.

That is all that can be said; beyond that lies pure conjecture i.e., fiction.

Cognitive function is an intellectual process that an infinite universe does not require

The rack, a torture device where the victim is slowly stretch the muscles and tendons tearing, limbs dislocating, spine cracking.

Here's something worse, something horrible. The images contained in this link cover a very gruesome and common disease - gangrene. Imagine your body rotting while you're still alive.

Extremely gruesome images

All of us will die, we have to live with that knowledge. Most of us will be in considerable pain for awhile before death comes. Is this the work of a loving universe?

Have you ever gone to a hospital and told that to terminally ill patients?
How about children starving in Africa? What should they focus on?

Why do people assume death is some kind of ultimate end?

What if God is all beings and God is a mighty being, so it plays intense games, like the brutality in mammalia food chains?

Pretty awesome to go through intense, brutal experiences if you're God and nothing harms you anyway.

It's this preoccupation with self-ness or selfhood that makes us fear so much, if we'd only recognise Who we are we'd come off the pretending and see ourselves for our glorious Self, and see why We or It plays such games.

With a bit of deduction, one can conclude that yes, the universe DOES know it is intelligent:

What is the universe? The universe is everything——all of existence.

Existence includes all animals on this very planet, humans included.

Man, a fraction of the universe itself, created the concept of 'intelligence'. Thus, we know ourselves to be intelligent.

As such, we know the universe itself to be intelligent in the form of humanity.

I'd say that notion itself is basis for everything that separates humans from other animals, setting us apart.

I mean, you really are God. I've beat around the bush with this because, frankly, I haven't been able to think too clearly with a psychiatric illness, but it's 100% certain for me now.

The whole thing is a beautiful drama or ride where you lose Yourself and get stuck in the most painful and also wonderful games with Yourself.

The only thing that will convince you is to remember yourself and experience what in fact you are.

Thats correct you are an image and replication of everything that creates from an imagination.  To ask how you were created by this universe is foolish, ask more importantly the question of why

I think the idea is, God wanted the joy of rediscovering Who He is... quite awesome.

We cast two-dimensional shadows, what's not to say we are 3-dimensional beings cast by our 4-dimensional or 'higher' selves?
