I haven't seen anything that shows that a seperate independent consciousness camt ultimately be under the control of a greater conscious that maintains that independence as an illusion for its own reason. Everything you do could have already been planned out, and is all designed to benefit a higher being.
There are no "higher beings", and no "lower beings". Just beings.
This is the realization you have once you go deep into the duality of life.
I don't use higher as in more advanced necessarily, just higher up on the food chain in general. Humans, microbes, spirits, whatever. All are fragments of consciousness.
That being said, I don't necessarily believe in a hivemind anyways. I could definitely see a human oversoul or unified existence (duality or triality both work) but I don't think that exactly matches what the op was referencing.
