Higher consciousness is a concept of a spiritual transcendence of human consciousness in various traditions of mysticism. Within monotheism, it also refers to the awareness or knowledge of an 'ultimate reality' sometimes known as God.
Alternative terms with similar meanings include super consciousness (Yoga), objective consciousness (Gurdjieff), Buddhic consciousness (Theosophy), cosmic consciousness, God-consciousness (Sufism and Hinduism) and Christ consciousness (New Thought).
In a secular context, higher consciousness is usually associated with exceptional control over one's mind and will, intellectual and moral enlightenment, and profound personal growth.
In a spiritual context, it may also be associated with transcendence, spiritual enlightenment, and union with the divine.
