RE: Does it make sense to speak of "Universal Consciousness" or "Universal Intelligence"?

Most of the people who refer to a universal consciousness have a New Age bent. I've seen it used to express two very different ideas: a Jungian collective unconscious or an Oversoul. I'm open to a generally psychological disposition based on shared ancestry. The Oversoul falls further out than I'm ready to go philosophically and does not align with my religious tradition. I do think Poltinus makes a good case for a Soul of All, that serves as the consistent informing principle of reality. That may qualify as a universal consciousness.
