Do clues from ancient folklore indicate that consciousness is non-local?

are you guys familiar with the lore of ancient Egypt?
they believed that the source of creation was called Atum (atom? monad?) and that the world is a byproduct of Atum's attempts to know himself. To have information about himself he had to first become something instead of nothing. After he became a thing he noticed he was moving along, and then having noticed his own movement he realized that something had passed. Atum becoming conscious had brought forth time and space.
This was the birth of the first neter, or divinity, from the nothingness and from this beginning all things emanate and are a part of. the first divinity was Shu, or the past, the second was Tefnut, the future.
So, this is a pretty profound allegory for the most current cutting edge cosmological theories

Who knows? We might be the result of space critters altering the DNA of Neanderthals eons ago. They could also possibly be involved in our religion and many of the things we have. But like I said, who really knows?

I thought of a metaphor for envisioning "mass" consciousness as the ground of being for individual consciousnesses that I thought was a little better than the one in the video
Imagine a tremendous body of water as being the consciousness associated with the system we call life, individual consciousnesses can be likened to drops of rain that create ripples in the surface of the waters. An individual life is part of a greater whole, expressed as a temporary waveform in the ground of being.
Consciousness is the medium in which physical reality takes root, when observed. Prior to the presence of observation there is only potentiality.
