Bill, while Occam's Razor has a loud and righteous voice in science, there are times when I don't allow it to dictate my hunches. Given the present limited knowledge regarding the nature of spacetime and consciousness, any such speculative notion is almost bound to be cast into the realm of metaphysics and the waste paper basket of science. In that regard, the idea sits comfortably in this fascinating thread.
Nonetheless, your apparently confident remark that there was "nothing organised enough to have a consciousness" before the Big Bang seems to be founded on faith rather than science. I qualify my notion with "I think it most likely"; perhaps you meant to do likewise.
My aim is not to make dogmatic assertions about matters that are unverifiable by current science, nor to advocate blind belief in some metaphysical doctrine or other, but rather to express an open mind regarding what science may yet verify - Occam's Razor notwithstanding.
