Vidyeshwara (transpersonal divine self)
In Kashmir Shaivism, the Vidyeshwara
("Lord of Knowledge") state is transitional between the Shuddhashuddha-tattvas
("Pure-Impure" principles) where the finite self is found, and the cosmic
omnipotent Godhead-consciousness. I interpret it here as a higher
grade of Enlightenment and realisation. It could be considered equivalent
to teh boddhisattva, buddha, and individual avatar states (or at least
one aspect thereof). Sri
Aurobindo's Intuition
Spiritual Mind or realisation could be associated at this grade.
In Ken Wilber's
involution-evolution
psychology this would seem to be the "Low
Causal" state.
