There is also a meta-message, so to speak: that there is a caring Sender.
We and what is around us are not the same, so there may be a distance between us and the message. The bigger the distance, the more likely it is for the message to be lost. And, if the opening premise is true, any philosophical system and any philosophical attitude that aim at increasing the distance or at making us suspicious of the Universe are dangerous for us (and - whether the proponents realise this or not - in line with Satan's aspirations).
Kant wanted us to imagine an unbridgeable gap between us and the Universe carrying that existential message. Hegel fell into this gap claiming to have pulled all of us with him, along with the Universe itself.
Kant undermined the existence of the Sender of the message, by mistakenly announcig the subject of the objective God as philosophically non-existent. Hegel claimed to have swallowed the Sender and he re-assured us, so to speak, that the one who some of us know and proclaim to be the (only) external Source is, basically, an internal affair.
Thus, with its bearer, the Universe, questioned and with the Sender either obscured, taken out of the picture or - as in Hegel's system - completely done away with (done 'in', to be precise), the message is often left unread.
Some people then, when they occasionally wake up from their slumber on the coach of existence and notice the universe as a blanket over them and the Earth as a pillow under their heads, instead of looking up and saying "Thank you, Dad!" or at least asking "Who?", begin to wonder: "What do I know? Is it really a wonderful sofa, a warm blanket and a soft pillow against my cheek? Or just an illusion, trick or play on words?"
Perhaps it's not only in order to enter the Kingdom, but also in order to gain true, constructive knowledge that we need to become trusting and open-hearted kids that go: "Oh, what a beautiful daisy*!", then hunker down and whisper: "Little flower, little flower, tell me please what is das Ding an sich? ..or let's drop it - just let me pick you, and die Nachricht, up!"
And then, in reply:
"Ich liebe Dich auch!"
