What you are saying certainly makes sense with regard to Maharishi's
use of the term Cosmic Consciousness in the Gita as the supreme
state of consciousness. Perhaps because CC is the highest achievable
state by the Jivan-mukta alone, the individuated consciousness.
However, as you note, it ripens into GC, or seen another way,
integrates fully with all relative existence as seen from the CC
perspective, becoming GC.
Then as the fullness deepens once again, its relative component is
seen to be multiple GCs so to speak, which could be called UC, or a
ripening or fulfillment of GC. This then is no longer dependent on
the Jivan-mukta, or seen another way, the Jivan-mukta is redefined
as being larger than it was before- sort of infinity becoming more
infinite.
So each higher state of consciousness is the fulfillment of the
prior one.
