It's really nice to encounter someone with pretty much the same ideas on reality. Let me reply with some minor differences

1. Consciousness: I like your arguments for it being something entirely different and being of god. Eastern religious thought is that human consciuosness is the the leakage of god's consciousness into physical form. I like to pin it down further. My hypothesis is that consciousness is uncollapsed quantum waves. Hopefully coherent ones if we are to do any useful thinking.

2.Levels of heirarchy: I see no difference here including the concept of drivers

3. Dark matter: My point here, which BTW is where we differ the most, is that dark matter pervades our galaxy. It is not out there. From out perspective it is every where. It surely pervades all our bodies and the entire earth. One theory posits a shadow world of all that is physical. Axions alone are supposedly so numerous that there are 10,000,000,000 of them for every proton in the universe. So I think dark matter provides for at least a shadow world. And they exist in 4-d space/time. Higher dimensionality may be important to higher level beings, I think that 26 dimensions are availabe; but we can get a good start by understaning 4-d dark matter.

4. Your experiences: They just give me hope that when I go on, perhaps that level of understanding will become available to me.
