Mundane And Supramundane Consciousness

Mundane consciousness is attached to ideas in the mind.
Supramundane consciousness is our pure state, before the creation of ideas. 

Mundane consciousness cannot see supramundane consciousness, but supramundane consciousness can see mundane consciousness. Some traditions call these self and Self, or me and God.

Mundane can only believe. 
Supramundane knows.

Isn’t it strange that there is a word – supramundane, which means transcending or superior to the physical world – yet no one uses it? Someone must have known its meaning :-), but not many people live in the supramundane in this world. 

Mundane: from Latin mundus, ‘world’.

To survive as decent human beings, 
we must balance the mundane and the supramundane. åç
As few of us understand this, we remain unbalanced.
