You can see a sort of "universal" consciousness on earth the way all life develops. But if life on earth all evolved from one thing it would make sense that the consciousness would be the same.
Also do you think mysticism is objective, or if you agree with the latter do you think mysticism is objective in the contained system of earth..

Dear mepitans,
I personally think there is a higher being (God) who we are seeking through successive spiritual evolution.
I personally do not believe in a "universal conscience" as the term is usually used.
As to mysticism and the nature of reality, I would take a Taoist approach in answering your question.
I would say that everything is realitive, but that everything also mirrors an absolute TRUTH.
So I think it is both.
