Existence and its mysteries

Classical way of understanding the universe around us in Science has been in terms of the observations of the natural phenomenon, experiments, analysis and formulation of laws that correspond to these natural phenomenon. Now in the modern physics there is an understanding that says that the observer plays a very crucial role in the observations and when there is nobody to observe, the universe doesn't exist. So, no observation can be absolute and the understanding based on observation will always remain incomplete. The interpretation of this is that the universe doesn't exist if not observed. 

It got me thinking. Another interpretation of this could be that- now the universe looks like this to man with the five senses he has that are the peak of the evolution of the life on earth as we know. So, to the less evolved consciousness, to the consciousness of animals, the universe might appear something different than what it appears to the humans. That could mean that the universe is evolving with the evolving consciousness. To the consciousness of the ant to say, the universe is not as evolved as it is evolved in our experience. For this ant, the higher forms of consciousness do not exist yet. This ant is now at the peak of evolution in its own universe. When say it gets killed by a human, other ants may classify this event as something supernatural. This could in turn mean that we are seeing the evolution of this universe and evolved universe at the same time in front of our eyes. There may never have been any beginning somewhere back in time but it might be right here, right now. To the very rudimentary consciousness, say to the consciousness of a gas particle, it might appear as if the universe has freshly sprung up into existence! (From where?) Those same gas particles got liquefied, solidified and formed all the elements by fusing with with other. This body is made from the same particles that have been there since the beginning (?). There are some factors through which these particles have formed and sustained in different shapes and forms. In a tree they were bound together in the shape of a tree. In animals they were bound together in the shape of an animal. Now in human form, they are bound together in the shape of a human. What binds them in the shape of human? Which force is this? And is there really any boundary actually that ok-this is me upto here and this is the universe? 

In a view of all this together, the One and only thing, absolutely the only thing that could be said with absolute certainty is that 'I am'. There is some awareness here which is aware of things. There is absolutely nothing else-not one single thing that we say holds any real substance in it. Careful reflection will show that even 'I am this' is an assumption. Even 'who am I?' question is based on the assumption that there are different entities there. There is an inherent assumption that something 'other' is there when we ask 'who am I?'. And in the deepest unconscious sleep, there is not even a possibility of saying anything. There is the unconsciousness. That would imply the universe has not even begun yet. Or it has been dissolved. Who knows?  

So, was this whole universe a scaffolding through which this awareness of being has evolved itself?

Is there no substance in the perception but the only reality is the perceiver?

Would the new approach in science will be to discover the laws that maintain this eternal harmonious movement considering the beginning and end invalid ? 

In deep meditation, when there is no thought, no sensation, when there is only the awareness, does that mean at those moments, the universe lies dissolved? 

Is that why the people who 'knew' have called the universe as Illusion?

The the reality, whatever it may be, when it appears at the doorstep, would you jump into it?

Would you go on this trip? Leaving the 'known' behind?
