Transcendence

I think it's an important component of human flourishing to have a sense of transcendence. I'm pretty open in terms of how people want to define transcendence or relate to it. Emerson and that kind of new platonic tradition that he was drawing on almost finds transcendence within the soul, which I guess comes close to narcissism in its distorted forms. But they're unplaristic about the way that we can honor transcendence in our lives.
