higher plane
Beyond ordinary awareness
A higher plane is a level of existence, understanding, or spiritual development above ordinary experience.
The phrase suggests transcendence—rising beyond mundane concerns to something more elevated: Meditation brought her to a higher plane of consciousness.
Often used with gentle irony about someone's lofty self-regard: He thinks he operates on a higher plane than the rest of us.
