Does Theravada Buddhism teach cosmic consciousness?
no
What is cosmic consciousness?
Cosmic consciousness is being in that state of realization, of enlightenment where one becomes conscious that we are not the body although we have a body, we are not the mind although it seems to exist. When we realize we are the Divine Soul, when we become the witness, the observer, we reach that state of consciousness. This consciousness which is self-awareness or self-realization goes deeper into God-realization. It goes on to realizing that this entire cosmos is nothing but energy, Divine energy. This same energy is in you, in me, everything beautiful is a manifestation of this energy. This is cosmic consciousness, to become conscious that the entire cosmos is one Divine manifestation.
Is everyone in the same stream of consciousness?
Yes, every being (form or formless existence) are in the same stream of consciousness; the cosmic consciousness, the source, the True Nature. This cosmic energy reside in emptiness, it is timeless and spaceless. It remain empty, timeless and spaceless as long as it is unmoving and concentrated. Any movement due to attraction or distraction will cause friction resulting this unconditional cosmic energy into conditional mind energy, like your mind and my mind. Any thing that is conditional is bound to have confict and therefore impermanent.
Can one figure out the starting point of dream?
Yes possible! In reality we all of us enjoy three states of consciousness. They are: Waking, dreaming and sleeping. But there is fourth major state of consciousness named transcendental state in which mind is fully alert. In such a state we can feel the entry into the sleeping state and the starting point of dreaming too. If such alertness is for 24 hours ie day and night, that new state is named as cosmic consciousness. Whole cosmos could be easily understood being in that state of consciousness. After cosmic consciousness state there are two more states. Hence totally Seven States of Consciousness.

For you what is the best gift that you receive from God?
Infinite silence, which is the silence of the mind where all self consciousness vanishes and we die into the Infinite Cosmic consciousness. Without a mortal "little self" there can be no-one home to worry and there can be no fear, as to have fears requires the existence of a mortal separate self. When we die to our limited self consciousness we resurrect in Infinite Cosmic God consciousness. The sublime Reality of "Oneness of Being."

What is consciousness and explain the neural basis of consciousness?
Consciousness to the neural world is quite different from the real consciousness of spirituality. Consciousness of spirituality is an awareness. Today you are awake, you are reading, you are listening, you are seeing. When you are not conscious, when you are unconscious, then you can't do this. You may be subconscious which means that your body may be in a state of unconsciousness, but your mind is still conscious. You are alive, you are breathing, you are dreaming, you are sleeping, but the neural world has no real explanation of consciousness. What happens at death when the consciousness departs? Where does the consciousness go? Where does consciousness come from? Therefore we must try to understand consciousness from a spiritual point of view, that way we will understand the meaning.
What are Freuds three levels of consciousness?
Actually speaking there are seven states of consciousness. They are Waking Dreaming Sleeping Transcendental Cosmic God Unity Usually all of us definitely are enjoying three states of consciousness. These are waking, dreaming and sleeping. But there comes a fourth state of consciousness named as transcendental consciousness. This establishes that we are beyond thinking yet we are alert. Hence the mind is in a state of restful alert. This state is rarely attained by all of us only at random. But to sustain this we have to practice a technique of performing meditation. If this state is sustained to such an extent that it exists through out 24 hours then this will be termed as another state of consciousness. This is named as Cosmic consciousness. With this cosmic state we come to know that there is some driving force apart from us. This is named as God consciousness and then it is so immediate to reach the last ie seventh state of consciousness called unity consciousness. Here 'I' am the only one present for ever and every where, ie beyond time and beyond space. Hence the statement. Aham Brahmasmim.
