Swedish term

medvetandenivåhöjning

Swedish to English Art/Literary Anthropology Kudoz doesn\'t expect a question like this...
My search turned up two hits for this word...one that I'm working on. Comes twice, here is one instance 'så skulle vi leva våra högre jag och då skulle en **medvetandenivåhöjning** ske'

Poetic license is fully acceptable.

Increased self-awareness, perhaps?

It looks like it's referring to a personal process or some kind of self-discovery.
Deane Goltermann (asker) Sep 27, 2016:
Anthropology, religion, social science... all the above and more. A work of fiction (not my usual gig) doing a lot of exploring and referencing. Thanks for the many suggestions, all helpful!
Deane Goltermann (asker) Sep 27, 2016:
He, he, Paul Good question...no category was good, this was the best I could do for this book! ;-) Totally different from my regular stuff.
Paul Lambert Sep 26, 2016:
Anthropology? I would be curious to find out how this relates to anthropology.

enhanced level of consciousness

Or maybe u are taking about pot. In which case: a "heightened level of consciousness" would be it.

Or if you want to get poetic, you could say something like "an Unleashed Mind" might work.
Example sentence:

Medical marijuana gives one a heightened level of consciousness —

rise of consciousness level

...as in "sunrise", exploiting your permit for Poetic license.
"Level of consciousness" does have its neurological connotations, which you may or may not wish to evade... Perhaps a mere omission of the preposition is enough of a twist.
