only consciousness

there is no universe
in which
a body-mind has
consciousness;

there is only consciousness
that has a body-mind
in which there is
a universe.

I sat in a hammock some years ago with this as my one remaining question: 'Is nothing so complex as to randomly come together to form a conscious being, or does consciousness come first and bring about mind and the idea of stuff and beings?'

It was tough as all humanity was said to 'know' pointed to the random-goo-stuff model that gained complexity and became conscious.

Then all by itself the obvious came through! Of course:

"there is only consciousness
which has a body-mind
in which there is
a universe." !!!
