Esoteric interpretation

Higher mind contrasts habitual thought with a wiser or more encompassing way of knowing. In the map, it helps explain why inner development is expected to change the quality of understanding, not simply the quantity of facts collected. The phrase is broad rather than a specified brain structure. It should not make someone’s preferred intuition automatically superior to evidence or the experience of other people.
