We are not conscious of what the animal and plant kingdoms are conscious of or not, and rankings in a consciousness league? I think that unless we have the consciousness of God himself, we have no room to judge and create rankings of any kind. It's not even certain that our consciousness is our own.
I guess this is what happens when the "Spiritual Adept" is in ignorance - as in what is known but ignored anyway.
