English term or phrase: By far
Hello everyone,

By far the biggest part of our mind is our higher consciousness, because it is unlimited and permeates the entire universe, including the minds of every being. In this respect, we cannot talk about our higher consciousness as something personal or individual

Thank you

Explanation:
Or even very, very, very, very much bigger; WAY bigger - or whatever other superlative you choose. You can't get much bigger than permeating the entire universe!
