The probability that consciousness attached itself to the living body by chance is small. More logical is that consciousness deliberately brought itself into the body with a certain purpose in mind. This should mean that consciousness influences the formation of the body, because if the body were not built the way it was built, consciousness could not establish itself in the body. The formation and development of the body, therefore, should be the result of cosmic consciousness.
Before consciousness could come into the living body, it was necessary for the entire universe to be created. This means that the universe must have been created by cosmic consciousness. Cosmic consciousness would have to be the creator of reality. Since consciousness and matter/energy must have always existed, existence in itself should be meaningless. But since consciousness created the body in order to then attach itself to this, it sounds logical that consciousness has conceived a reason or a purpose for itself.
