Rather than the cosmic consciousness thingy, it would be better to brush up on the fundamentals of mind as a function of a combination of the brain and glands. You will need to cover some Jung and the collective subconscious (but with a grain of salt). Also would help to understand Salvador Dali's concept of mind as subject to culture; and with that the supposed "brain washing" techniques of major cults (that is my area of expertise).
