That's a neat trick, Lee. However you are fooling
yourself.

If I were to ask to describe the content of your
imagination when you are imagining that the universe
does not exist, your only correct reply would be that
there is no content to your imagination under that
circumstance. This is so because to imagine anything
is to imagine it in a universe that exists. This is
true even of ideas and of empty space.

Thus the content of your imagination while attempting
to imagine the universe not existing is no different
than had you not made the attempt.
