Well, there you go then.

I *am* reaching outside of myself, because although I am a part of the Universe, I still wish to draw from, be in tune with, tap into...the All. I'm part of the Universe, but I'm a damn small part, and there's a lot more energy and inherent "mojo", if you will, to be accessed from the All.

Would you say that the All is insensate, along the lines of electricity or gravity, and you're essentially doing engineering with metaphysics? Or does it also include the sum of all consciousness in the Universe?

I'd have to go with the sum of all consciousness. The standard reference that I recommend on the subject of metaphysics/physics is "The Holographic Universe", by Michael Talbot. It makes a lot of sense to me, even though there are holes.
