Is the universe all in our heads?

I think our heads are all in the Universe.
I do not think that the universe is all mental. However, I believe that without a certain spiritual realization deep in our hearts, the universe is absurd and might as well be "all in our heads".
An analogy might be a baby in a crib. Without the deep love of her mother, that crib in and of itself is kind of an empty vanity. With the mother's love, tender care, provision, arrangement for the baby's nurture, the crib and all the settings pertaining to it, have meaning.
Without the love of God and the intimate personal fellowship with "the Father", the universe may not be mental, but it is kind of an empty "vanity of vanities".

Right. But more importantly you are killing your own thread.

This post of yours made you sound like a pretty sentimental guy still.

Is the universe all in our heads? Does sin and the punishment for sin represent a balancing force within the universe (our heads)?
