Abstract
This conceptual theory article develops Nested Cosmic Awareness, a speculative metaphysical framework in which physical, biological, personal, relational, cultural, institutional, cosmic, and divine layers possess distinct but interconnected horizons of awareness. It introduces Recursive Noetic Layering, Visible–Invisible Cognitive Architecture, the Relative Unconsciousness Principle, the Divine Interior Hypothesis, the Mortality Firmament, and Ontological Reintegration. The article places cosmopsychism, panentheism, Christian creation theology, body–soul anthropology, quantum physics, and cellular bioenergetics into careful dialogue without treating scientific concepts as proof of God, soul, cosmic consciousness, or postmortem survival. Genesis and the Trinity serve as theological boundary comparators, while human organizations are examined as possible sites of Institutional Illumination or Institutional Possession. Situated within Francisco M. Martinez’s Mythotechnic Fiction and Mythic Authority research program, the paper uses fiction as a constructed interpretive laboratory and provides propositions, rival explanations, falsification criteria, ethical implications, and a transdisciplinary research agenda.
