This Is Wild

Consider a collective "consciousness" that is pure mental energy, within which is absolute knowledge. This consciousness permeates all the universe (and therefore, unites it on a mental level), as it is the blueprint (think Plato's Forms). With the ability to rationalize and intuit, humans alone have the ability to tap into this consciousness so as to use it (through willful reason/intuition) and know the universe to a degree that no other species can, as others only carry out the nature of their blueprint. We are the medium through which this pure consciousness knows itself. Other species owe their existence to this consciousness, but only humans can move within it, knowingly, and manipulate nature and even change their value to the universe through it. This is not to say other species have no importance. They have essential importance, as humans rely on other organisms for their very existence as human; and it is humans, who alone recognize this, who are obligated to care for and respect the interconnectedness of the universe. And it is humans, who understand the effects and flatout wrongness of deliberatly causing (and experiencing) pain and suffering to anything, that must take this into account every time one encounters another organism. Just because humans alone can change their position in the universe on a mental level through the collective consciousness, doesn't change the life of other organisms who are susceptible to physical pain and are vital in the existence of this physical universe.
And the existence of a collective consciousness does not imply that any organism can make a rational connection (trees understanding their surroundings) with another, even if the forms find their origin in the same mental level.
If one is to view the world from an organisms perspective, as Taylor suggests is the criterion for having a teleological center, can this only be done through a collective consciousness (by a human)? We cannot know whether something is good or bad for an organism itself, as an organism, which does not have cognitive faculties, may be indifferent to everything. An organism would need to be subject not object for humans to know its true Form and what is good or bad for it, if anything. And this may be only be possible through a collective consciousness, as I described briefly above.
This may seem wild (impossible or unprovable), but I'm willing to work with it.. and shift thought around a bit.
