This is very much along the lines of what I have come to know though my experiences of psychedelics, meditation, hypnosis, and dreams.  Life as we know it evolved to join consciousness, and thus the two are intertwined.  One layer of an onion on top of another, fractal spirals of existence going up and down he spiral.   Everything is conscious to one degree or another, it is the underlying fabric or structure to our universe.  Atoms are conscious, as are molecules, single cells, animals, planets, stars, galaxies.  Everything is part of everything else.

There is much knowledge from the Gnostic teachings, and you have found the key.  It is hidden in plain sight, waiting for someone to notice it when they are ready.
