Because our entire universe is made up of consciousness, we never really experience the universe directly we just experience our consciousness of the universe, our perception of it, so right, our only universe is perception.
Interpretation
Our experience of the universe is shaped by our consciousness and perception rather than direct interaction with reality.
This quote by Alan Moore emphasizes that what we regard as our experience of the universe is fundamentally mediated by our own consciousness. It suggests that reality, as we perceive it, is not an absolute truth but rather a subjective interpretation, thus making perception the primary way we engage with the world around us.

Tis not what man Does which exalts him, but what man Would do!
The world was reduced to the surface of her skin and her inner self was safe from all bitterness.
