In our degenerative and patterned Universe were is the ying to our yang of consciousness?

Is there any match for our level of consciousness? Are we unique in the entire known universe? How and would life select this level of higher consciousness?

For example the other day a person on this forum asked; “What color is your soul?” I am not sure that this person understands the level of consciousness that is required to even think in such abstract terms but, it makes my point. What and were, is our pattern of consciousness?

I am not trying to prove any point…just throwing it out there

I TRIED THIS ON ANOTHER FORUM AND GOT VERY LITTLE RESPONSE. SO, I THOUGHT I MIGHT TRY HERE. THANKS
Some have been thrown off by my use of ying ad yang. A better way of asking would have been the use of DNA as a metaphor. Where’s our closest conscious cousin? i.e. we have 96% of our genetic structure in common with our closest evolutionary cousin.
