There is no universal morality. Morality is a human construction. Even if there were other cognent beings with which to establish a morality that exists outside humanity, it would still only be a superficial construction based on a set of agreed upon principles between a number of rational beings. Without the subjective experience of individual humans (or whatever), the concept of morality wouldn't exist.

You existing independent of my view of reality has nothing to do with morality. That's all you just discussed, views of reality, not reality itself. We don't create our own reality, we just have a view of reality. Either way, a universal morality just sounds ridiculous. Morality is, by definition, purely convention.

morality - a particular system of values and principles of conduct, especially one held by a specified person or group.
