God may or may not be conscious. Some of us are conscious and we would like to think that someone consciously designed us rather than to imagine we may be designed by convergence not by conscious creation. If however, However if indeed God is conscious - as some of us are conscious - then we are able to make choices. The choices we cannot avoid making are those choices that have to do with the necessity of solving problems of daily living. The best choices are those that are derived from making informed decisions. Informed decisions are derived from applying critical thinking which also include contributions of the heart, and soul.
The capability and the ability to make informed decisions also implies the right and I think the responsibility of every person to dissent from those opinions which are deemed ill informed. This means that whatever we call God is not the final authority with respect to what is ultimately considered to be in each persons best interest. The long winded point I am trying to make is that with respect to whatever data is singled out - i.e. God, unity - consciousness - each person brings something of himself (consciously or unconsciously) in interpreting what those concepts means to him or her. Thus each person ultimately is his own final authority.
