I refer higher consciousness as a state of "Nirvana" explained by the sect of "non-dualism". The nirvana is a state where there is no two. Non-dualism of conscoiusness where everything becomes one. The consciousness we understand defines the realm of dream. You wake up from this dream to attain non-dualism aka nirvana.
As you follow the path of non-dualism, the higher-conscious is easier to attain. Really nice musings you portrayed in your blog. I am a forever follower. Thanks,
