higher being
God or spirit
A higher being is a god, deity, or supernatural entity believed to exist on a plane above ordinary human existence.
The term often appears in spiritual but non-denominational contexts, allowing reference to divine intelligence without specifying a particular religion: She believed in a higher being but didn't attend church.
The phrase sometimes appears ironically for anyone acting superior: He acts like he's some higher being.
