How did you get my picture. I admit that was certainly a stoner idea-lol. There was a thought behind it though. But perhaps not at that moment-lol. And not necessarily a thought of reality. Alfred North Whitehead said: "we have a tendency to divide the universe between the organic and inorganic, I feel consciousness is a third system in the universe." I have thought about that statement for 40 years and agree with it. It only makes sense. The evolution of the universe goes from inorganic, to organic to consciousness. We are evidence of the consciousness and certainly cannot be the only biological entity in the universe to get this far. Heck other animals have almost gotten this far, dolphins, birds and octopuses. So how smart would we get with biological engineering and another thousand years? So "cosmic consciousness" is probably just beyond our ability to perceive it. Quantum computers, as extensions of our mind, may be able to identify cosmic intelligence and show it to us and I feel, ironically, it may be found in quantum physics. Pretty early in the morning for such a heavy discussion-lol.
