I'd just change one thing around. The term 'Universal Consciousness'.

It leads one down the path that at the 'end' there is only one conciousness, and your lose your personal awareness.

I see it more as a family of distinct and individual awarenesses. Everyone is distinct and individual, and each distinct and individual awareness will never lose it's awareness.

I come to this conclusion by way of;
In an infinite system, all things are infinite.
In an eternal system, all things are eternal.

Maybe a better term for 'Universal Consciousness' would simply be........Your Continual and Never Ending 'I'-ness.
