Hi Ray,
Universe may have a group brain somewhere, but
for now, I only know about the ones who have
individual minds. If there is a structure
supporting or routing Universe's thoughts,
I am still guessing you are important in it.
I don't mind being a single cell in the Universe Mind, and think we may 'at times' have a completely different self-definition
which is completely accurate. While we face opposition from twerps (technical term) who do not know better, this does not mean the Universe
Mind has it any easier. In fact, sometimes
Universe has nowhere better to express itself than
through individuals -- I betcha! Those individuals might be members of a colongy of giant gasbags in the atmosphere of a faraway planet or drifting filaments in deep space or they might be you or me at times -- I betcha!

The "stone age dogmatist" was just a silly remark...though as Mike, I can't really be sure I'm so advanced that someone, somewhere, might not remark at how primitive I am (and all humans).

Ha ha ha, right?
