Universe and its observer is the same thing. Only conceptual elaboration creates a separation.
Then only nonceptual loosening can show us how tightly we grasp onto concepts

Saint Francis said that what we are looking is whats looking

There really is no difference beteween subject and object, so the question does not apply, it can not be answered, the same way your calculator says error if you try to divide zero

Universe is all there is, it can not be defined by a small part ( ie, thoughts)

My point is that the answer to the question is seeing its absurdity
