Definition (coined by Mark DiPaolo, 2025):
1. adj. — Pertaining to a mode of perception that transcends both inward self-reflection and outward observation, attaining the highest possible vantage, as if through the perspective of angels, God, or ultimate consciousness.
2. n. — The act or quality of adopting such a transcendent viewpoint; a God’s-eye way of seeing.

Usage examples:
• She entered a metaspective state during meditation, sensing the unity of all things.
