  Zerg Overmind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Overmind is a colossal and brain-like Zerg entity of an indeterminate age and level of alien intelligence, which within the original Starcraft storyline stated to have "borne witness to the passing of countless millennia".
The Overmind's plan was partially successful; it had infested a Terran by the name of Sarah Kerrigan, augmenting her already powerful latent psionic powers and turning her into a powerful servant.
The Overmind, already in a state of psychic shock due to the assassination of two of its cerebrates by the Dark Templar, Zeratul, was helpless.

 20th WCP: From "Mind" to "Supermind": A Statement of Aurobindonian Approach
The Overmind is the highest of these ranges : it is full of lights and powers : but form the point of view of what is above it, it is the line of the soul’s turning away from the complete and indivisible knowledge and its descent towards the Ignorance’.
Of course, in the overmind ‘there is not yet the actual fall into Ignorance, but the first step is taken which will make the fall inevitable’.
Overmind is a plane of consciousness beyond even Universal Mind in ignorance; it carries in itself a first,direct, masterful cognition of cosmic truth’.

 GRI, Noosphere II - Thinking About the Noosphere: Sri Aurobindo, The Overmind, Supermind and the Descent of the ...
The Overmind as noosphere is then that fully intermediate state of consciousness, accommodating at the correct moment the ascent of the Spirit struggling upward through the Mind of Ignorance.
In order that the involved principles of Overmind and Supermind should emerge from their veiled secrecy, the being and powers of the Superconscience must descend into us and uplift us and formulate themselves in our being and powers; this descent is a sine qua non of the transition and transformation.
To the Overmind (noospheric) intelligence these are separable Powers of the one Existence which can pursue their independent self-affirmation and can also unite together in their independence and in their union of different states of consciousness and being which can be all of them valid and all capable of coexistence.” ibid., p.

The Overmind was single-mindedly concerned with pushing the Zerg swarm to further evolve into the apex of natural perfection.

With that, the Overmind turned its attention to expanding throughout the galaxy and seeking out the its sibling race, the Protoss, for a final communion through their assimilation.

 Sri Aurobindo Letters on Yoga P1 S5 - PPB - Sub 3: Supermind Overmind Intuition
The overmind is the highest of these ranges; it is full of lights and powers; but from the point of view of what is above it, it is the line of the soul's turning away from the complete and indivisible knowledge and its descent towards the Ignorance.
It is (sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly) by the power of the overmind releasing the mind from its close partitions that the cosmic consciousness opens in the seeker and he becomes aware of the cosmic spirit and the play of the cosmic forces.
The true defect of overmind, the limitation in it which gave rise to a world of ignorance is seen fully only when one looks at it from the physical consciousness, from the result (Ignorance in Matter) to the cause (overmind division of the Truth).

 SparkNotes: Childhood's End: Themes, Motifs, and Symbols
Therefore, when the children begin their strange transformation into the Overmind, the process cannot be considered "evolution." In order for it to be considered so, one must alter the definition of "adversity": in the face of utopian stagnation, the children must mutate into the Overmind in order to fight off their complete degradation into animals.
Part of the description of the Overmind is that it is a kind of "collective conscious," a being of thought and energy composed of the minds of millions or billions (even trillions?) of other beings, all working as a single entity.
Certainly, the way in which the children of the last generation are incorporated into the Overmind is reminiscent of Christian descriptions of the Rapture, when the souls of the faithful are called into the Divine Presence, there to remain for eternity as part of the Holy Trinity.

 Purani: 26 November 1926 - Siddhi-Day
That 24 November should be given an importance equal to that of the birthdays of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother is quite proper because on that day the descent of the Higher Power symbolic of the victory of their mission took place.
The descent of Krishna would mean the descent of the Overmind Godhead preparing, though not itself actually bringing, the descent of Supermind and Ananda.
Overmind thus gives to the One Existence-Consciousness-Bliss the character of a teeming of infinite possibilities which can be developed into a multitude of worlds or thrown together into one world in which the endlessly variable outcome of their play is the determinant of the creation, of its process, its course and its consequence."

In the system of Sri Aurobindo it is called the Overmind.

Sri Aurobindo refers to the two lower Overmidn levels - Intuitive Overmind and Mental Overmind, which although not really the same are still transitional stages, and hence the subpalnes where the original Overmind gnosis and underlying unity is lost.

Last summer I independently developed a possible vision for internet identification, based around a concept which I dubbed 'the Overmind', which would basically be a huge server collective overseen (read: maintained) by an international organization operating on a non-governmental, a-capitalist license.
The Overmind would act as a mediary between populations, organizations (including governments), and corporations by means of an open system of identity verification (with biometrics being the best bet, since the Overmind relies on there being an actual entity behind an identity).
The database containing this information is accesible only by the Overmind (any interface into Overmind's software dead-ends at Overmind; only the system, never the data, may be viewed or manipulated by humans), which accesses records for reading and/or writing without ever 'seeing' the contents.
