Higher consciousness, also called '''super consciousness''' (Yoga), objective [[consciousness]] (Gurdjieff), Buddhic consciousness (Theosophy), cosmic consciousness, [[God-consciousness]] (Sufism and Hinduism) and [[Christ consciousness]] (New Thought), are expressions used in various [[spiritual]] [[tradition]]s to denote the consciousness of a [[human being]] who has reached a higher level of [[evolution]]ary development and who has come to know [[Reality]] as it is. Evolution in this sense is not that which occurs by natural selection over generations of human reproduction but evolution brought about by the application of spiritual knowledge to the conduct of human life. Through the application of such [[knowledge]] (traditionally the preserve of the world's great religions) to practical self-management, the awakening and development of faculties dormant in the ordinary human being is achieved. These faculties are aroused by and developed in conjunction with certain dispositions of [[character]] such as patience, kindness, truthfulness, humility and forgiveness towards one's fellow man – qualities without which, according to moral/ethical stipulations of the various traditions, higher consciousness is not possible.

Higher consciousness is generally regarded as a developed state of consciousness in which aspects of the [[mind]], such as [[thought]], [[perception]] and attention, are improved, refined and enhanced. It is considered thus to be a higher level of consciousness relative to ordinary consciousness, in the sense that a greater awareness of [[reality]] is achieved. In a secular [[context]], higher consciousness is usually associated with exceptional control over one's mind and [[volition|will]], [[intellectual]] and moral enlightenment, and profound personal growth.[1]. In a spiritual context, It may also be associated with [[transcendence]], spiritual enlightenment, and union with the divine.[2]

If one is disposed to recognize a theoretical [[subconscious]] mind as a practical working hypothesis in the otherwise unified [[intellect]]ual life, then, to be consistent, one should postulate a similar and corresponding realm of ascending intellectual activity as the superconscious level, the zone of immediate contact with the indwelling [[spirit]] entity, the [[Thought Adjuster]]. The great danger in all these psychic speculations is that visions and other so-called [[mysticism|mystic]] [[experience]]s, along with extraordinary dreams, may be regarded as [[divine]] communications to the human mind. In times past, divine beings have revealed themselves to certain God-knowing persons, not because of their mystic trances or morbid visions, but in spite of all these [[phenomena]].[http://urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper100.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper100.html&line=99#mfs]
