is there such a thing as "higher consciousness"? Can it be explained in a rational way, or is it just a meme?

rational as in having nothing to do with something like the "third eye" or anything a yoga teacher would say

Not him but as in not just mumbo jumbo sky god "oooh faith" bullshit like I know you're dying to use.

Rational as in it makes fucking sense and adds up and isn't just pseudo wank backed up by tongue twisters and circular logic.

>Hey, is there such a thing as experienced of higher consciousness beyond the limitations of rationality? It has to be explained rationally even while being trans-rational, though.

(Read Idries Shah, he makes this point (and many other ones) a lot of times in a lot of different ways.)
