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

[Ben Davis]

In the sense that we are all part of the larger Cosmos, perhaps analogous to the cells that comprise one brain, it seems at least that something like a Universal Conscious or Intelligence can be made into an intelligible framework... no?

No. Mind/consciousness/self-awareness (or whatever appropriate term you want to use here) is a product of brains. Brains are a network of interacting components so at very least it would be necessary to demonstrate the existence of the 'Universal network' before we could start hypothesising about the nature of its resultant interactions.

Everything else is baseless conjecture.
