The Anthropic Principle suggests importance that we, as sentient beings, know of our own existence. The Universe exists in such a way that such entities have evolved. One explanation is the multiverse, that suggests there are "symultaneously" or consecutively or overlapping in other dimensions, a multiplicity of universes, perhaps an infinitude, and we happen to exist in the one in which it is possible for us to exist.
However, if there is consciousness to the universe on some large scale, that is not carbon-chemistry based but exists in the energy interchange between galaxies, then it could have evolved from its earliest existence with the compaitibility of consciusness existing at all. First came "mind" in a pure and universal form, existing as the dynamic superstrate of an energy exchange system that gradually precipitated into material existence, initially with a single, high-energy state that gradually divided as the system cooled, but all the while remaining consistent witht he existence of consciousness, till finally one or more planets like ours developed on which sentient creatures could evolve that could know all this. The universe is aware of itself, but are we the first creatures to do this? Or are we fragmenatry consciousnesses and parts of a much greater "mind"?
In other words, the reason for the anthropic principle is not coincidence or statistical certainty, but was built into the universe from its earliest existence.
