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

I don't understand your question.

That's the problem with philosophy

Think of it in context of your belief. That "awareness emerged from complexity". From our vantage point the earth seems to have a limit to its complexity. Compare that to the complexity of the "known" universe . What might emerge from that "universe" set of interactions that we can't "see" yet?

Most of the universe is actually very simple.

then look at a complexity verses volume situation. The brain vs. the sun for example. Now the universe has a prediction of 14, or so, billion year size, and as of yet, an unknown complexity. hmmm.

The human brain is many, many orders of magnitude more complex than the sun.

then, along with your line of thought, the notion that the universe is build on a hierarchy of structure. from pure energy to "us". Would it be wild speculation that there is a "next step" in this structure?

Why, yes, that would be wild speculation.

What hierarchy of structure?

What do you think it means in term of the possibility of the emergence of "a living" universe?

Nothing. There is no evidence for it and no evidence of a possible mechanism.
