The Role of Spirituality - Transcendence

One of the vital yet sometimes overlooked roles of spirituality is that of transcendence. By transcendence I refer to a state of being which acknowledges a reality beyond that of the self or beyond personal experience. Transcendence is a state that moves beyond the physical and logical norms and can be attained through an individual's intuitive perceptions, rather than the dictates of established religious or scientific thought.

Transcendence involves moving beyond the boundaries of ego, beyond the conventions of popular conceptions regarding reality. The search beyond the self involves an acceptance of the fact that you are part a whole, a whole which encompasses the universe, a universe which is part of an even greater whole.

Spiritual transcendence questions the validity of popular assumptions regarding the nature of life and the workings of the universe. While current beliefs about the nature of these areas may seem acceptable to the present, conscious, analytical mind, we know historically that such assumptions have been proven later to be found untrue. Transcendence is both the acknowledgement of higher truths and the acceptance that not all things are knowable.

The goal of transcendence is to allow the higher self to operate within multiple dimensions of reality and perception, to gain wisdom about our various roles within the greater realms of existence, to affect change upon the physical realm and to transform subjective perceptions.

As Albert Einstein once so aptly stated, "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science". The same can be said about the notion of spiritual transcendence. The realms of the mysterious are open to the mind searching for a bridge between the physical and non-physical dimensions.
