That makes me think of universal mind.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_mind The word surfaced in eastern and western thought. In "The Huang Po Doctrine of Universal Mind", originated in around 857 CE., the idea of mind was disconnected from soul in this buddhist school of thought.[1]
Chu Ch’an says, “Universal mind, therefore, is something to which nothing can be attributed. Being absolute, it is beyond attributes. If for example, it were to be described as infinite, that would exclude from it whatever is finite, but the whole argument of the book is that universal mind is the only reality and that everything we apprehend through our senses, is nothing else but this mind. Even to think of it in terms of existence or non-existence is to misapprehend it entirely.” pp. 8-9
— [2]
The notion of universal mind came into the Western Canon through the Pre-Socratic philosopher Anaxagoras, who arrived in Athens some time after 480 BC. He taught that all things were created by Nous (Mind) and that Mind held the cosmos together and gave human beings a connection to the cosmos, or a pathway to the divine.[3]
The term surfaced again later in later philosophy such as Hegel but Hegel sought to reconcile the stages of mind and the connection with the soul:
The sphere of education is the individuals only: and its aim is to bring the universal mind to exist in them. But in the philosophic theory of mind, mind is studied as self−instruction and self−education in very essence; and its acts and utterances are stages in the process which brings it forward to itself, links it in unity with itself, and so makes it actual mind.

Actually, the universe is merely an emanation from The mind of God

In religion "god" conciously created everything and laws and shit. I mean what if the entity having the thought of this universe is unaware that he is producing a universe. For all we know we could be doing the same.

Ehh...if you read the bible literally yeah. The truth is, it's actually all esoteric code. The creation of the universe was a mental event, not a physical one

The nature of the universe has absolutely nothing to do with the human condition.
So it's a nice thought, but doesn't change anything.

He never specified the someone else as being human.
The Tibetan Book of The Dead says that everything is mind. I believe that everything that could ever be a thing is just awareness imagining

That's not what I meant, what I meant was don't get too hung up on abstractions such as this, because even if you figure out, without a shadow of a doubt, the true nature of the universe...you still have to go to work tommorow. Dig?

God is the Spirit World. The Universe is its creation to use as a tool for advancement.

Guys....
I just smoked DMT and altered all of human history as we know it. We entered an alternate universe. This is not the same universe we were in yesterday. I'm the only one who knows this.

Another person's brain? Interesting idea. I don't necessarily agree, but have no way to "prove" or show why, other than my own personal intuitions, experiences, feelings.

lol good stuff here
In the Beginning was the Universe, and the Universe was with God, and the Universe was God!
Also time is just a word, it doesn't really exist. There is only 'Decay' and we use the word 'time' as our interpretation method of accurately measuring it
