Second paragraph, I do believe you made an assumption
>But now we can ask; Can existence "be" without "knowing" its self, without knowing that it exists. I think that any state of any information requires a "Conscious Agent" to acknowledge such a state, otherwise, you end up with paradox. So in turn that "Everything that there is" (let's call it Existence for simplification need) is one-half of the seed for the whole, the whole needs a Consciousness in order to actualize itself.Why is that? Why do you need to be aware of everything in order to exist? Are rocks floating through space aware of themselves? There was this famous experiment, quantum suicide, which really bothered me. It said that if you place yourself in Schrodinger's box you could not possibly die because you will always exist in the universe that has you alive, that has you able to experience it, able to be aware of it. That by itself implies that there is someting unique to the human consciousness, something of such magnitude that could decide things like that. I personally do not believe there to be anything like that. People are born, they die, and are reduced back to mere ingredients, there is nothing special. To sum up, we are just over complicated rocks.
Another example to disprove the necessity of cosmic awareness - has humanity's perception about reality always been like it is today? No, far from that - for a long time religion was the main perspective. And you might say "Yeah, well, that's just what they were told and didn't question it"
Well, tell me, how do you know that Saturn exists? You do because a respectable source told you and decided not to do the research yourself. You have never seen Saturn, you have no evidence that it exists, yet it is undeniable truth that it does. There is nothing special about awareness or knowledge, things just are.
