Perhaps reality can only be explained rationally down to a certain level, quantum particles obey completely different laws to protons, neutrons and electrons, so what makes you so sure that whatever essence that allows these particles to exist will ever be comprehensible to the human brain? And how do you know that the essence of the universe is not governed by something which could in someway be described as conscious?

Because to believe that the Universe is governed by a 'consciousness' is to believe in god. And that's just superstitious babblings that should have died out long before the 21st Century.
If you want to believe in the supernatural, in ghosts, goblins, pixies and fairies (cos you may as well if you think that the Universe doesn't adhere to it's own laws, no matter how bizarre they may turn out to be) then you are welcome.
