Subject: dante s definition of ” transcendence ” , and ” meaning “
I realize my definition of transcendence is somewhat different then the three definitions on wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendence_%28philosophy%29
My definition of transcendence is the following :
it is the overcoming of limitations at the level of conciousness , it is the overcoming of drama at successive levels of abstraction – a drama being defined as actions resulting of the ” addiction ” to something specific , and as a result of this addiction a “specific need for control” , fear of loosing this specific channel of control , and eventually when a channel of specific needed control is not in control , emotions and actions induced by drama and ego flow such as : powerlessness , aggressiveness , and limitations through focus on the drama/addiction
, …
also , transcendence is leading towards metatization , which opens up multiple channels , multiple possibilities , multiple dimensions towards the higher process dimensions ( in which smaller less abstract process dimensions are contained ) , and not only a focus on one addicted channel
so transcendence and metatization are the opposite experience flow then ego experienced flow in process dimensions ,
and is also synonymous of detachment , creativity , discovery , opening of perspectives and understanding , action in detachment , and being … beyond addiction , beyond necessity or need
yet following a further opening up of dimensions , when ” can ” chooses for ” can “…
in any field , in any process , …
TRANSCENDENCE is also a meta level of abstraction of the “opening up of trust” , the opening up of channels ,
and at a level of abstraction that relates two shared processes of transcendence , care , faith and inspiration ( meta relations of processes of ” opening of trust , action , contemplation ” and inspiration connecting the objectified process dimensions )
one finds MEANING
