Higher consciousness

Higher consciousness (also called expanded consciousness) is a term that has been used in various ways to label particular states of consciousness or personal development.^[1] It may be used to describe a state of liberation from the limitations of self-concept or ego, as well as a state of mystical experience in which the perceived separation between the isolated self and the world or God is transcended.^[1] It may also refer to a state of increased alertness or awakening to a new perspective.^[1] While the concept has ancient roots, practices, and techniques, it has been significantly developed as a central notion in contemporary popular spirituality, including the New Age movement.
