Thread: nature of transcendence, and its implications

Transcendence implies that we are all lazy, greedy, self centered, indulgent SOBs. Or at least that's how I see it in my case. Sometimes I hate it for that. That's a lot to overcome. A lot of work intangible goals.

Did you ever think it means overcoming ones own self? You see it as that, but I see it as reaching a high element of human understanding.

Same thing. Overcoming your self is just a fancy way of putting it. There are many levels of understanding. I usually aim for the higher ones, but from time to time I like to wallow in the baser ones.

Heh, I thought most of us were lazy, greedy, self centered, indulgent SOBs.
