supermind
Beyond normal cognition
Supermind refers to an intellect or consciousness vastly exceeding ordinary human capacity.
The term appears in science fiction for artificial or alien intelligences, and in spiritual philosophy—particularly Sri Aurobindo's writings—for a higher plane of consciousness that transcends mental limitations: The supermind perceives unity where the ordinary mind sees division.
Sometimes used loosely for exceptional genius.
