Nuit is the mental embodiment and personification of that infinite possibility.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now, does She exist, apart from thought? Well, yes, but only in the nature of what possibility inherently is.</p>
<p dir="auto">Yet, if you point your mind at such infinite possibility in Devotion, constantly consecrating and perfecting the image, and speak to Her, you may experience Her communication.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now, what you make of that is up to you.</p>

</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Nuit's nature is inclusive and universal, no distinction, no differentiation. (The differentiation and distinction is expressed by Hadit.) Therefore, by definition, the name doesn't apply to any <em>particular</em> thing that could be distinguished from the rest of the whole.</p>
<p dir="auto">That being true, your (a) vs. (b) are the same thing.  If you think of her as "an actual conscious being," then the nature of that being is the totality - the whole universe - of which all other conscious units are a subset. If you think of her as "the collective consciousness of all sentient beings," then she is the whole of which they are components.</p>
<p dir="auto">Same thing.</p>
