I first heard the term, 'Cosmic Consciousness' in a book by Leonard Shlain, called Art and Physics, about the guy who wrote the book and um coined the term, before the first world war, (Burke? Is his name Burke?)- anyways, I can't for the life of me find it at the moment, else I would more properly cite it; but forgive if my use of the term seems incorrect or if anything at all for whatever reason seems unacceptable.

10 Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them.

I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure,

For my heart rejoiced in all my labor;

And this was my reward from all my labor.

11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done

And on all the labor in which I had toiled;

And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind.

There was no profit under the sun.

-Ecclesiastes, 2:10-11

My cat Loki doesn't do much. She basically sits and lays down; she cleans herself well, keeps herself well nourished. She sleeps on the ground, using my blanket as a pillow. She seems happy.
