I think it's misleading to formulate the topic question this way ...the
eternal "consciousness" confusion! According to my MOQ all
static levels are levels of experience, and my sense of concistency
tells me that Q-intellect can't be a leap into this enlightened state
intellect pompously has allotted itself. Q-intellect is merely another
static experience.
> 2. Can we as individuals be aware of the Giant's consciousness?
We ARE the Giant in our capacity as social beings, and
consequently know its intention when we focus on that level,
whether it is as members of a bird-spotting club, citizens of a big
city or as Israelis ....or Norwegian.

Collectively? :-)
