Oct 18, 2018 · Two brief examples, taken not from philosophy but literature, demonstrate how these opposed understandings of the relationship between transcendence and immanence may be employed.
transcendence operates by a separate awareness apart from the directional awareness of purposive beings. It is the synonym of separateness which defines the negative transcendence as an alienated power. This power no longer accepts the directive agency of finite beings in their search for wholeness. For example, this

The transcendent experience, often described as an ego-dissolving encounter with something greater than one’s self, is cross-cultural and pan-historical. I present a model describing the evolution and function of various evolved modes of transcendence, such as group-directed transcen-dence, theory of mind (ToM)-evoking transcendence, aesthet-ic tra...
Although preliminary, the following model may be useful in capturing some of the necessary features of transcendence. Specifically, I posit that the transcendent experience is marked by either one or all of the following evolved psychological processes: group-directed affection (often involving feelings of unity and camaraderie), the perceived pres...
Who can deny the loss of self that occurs when one is captured by the variegated colors of a sunset, the reveries brought on by a song, or the human universality depicted in a play or movie? In instances of aesthetic transcendence, the dissolution of the self is accompanied by an expansive sense of balance, sym-metry, grace, and style that is great...
The signaling of costly emotional commitment to the ingroup during communal transcendence probably serves the adaptive function of cementing coalitional ties to ones fellow group ’ members. Somewhat more questionable is whether any of the other modes of transcendence are adaptive, be it for genes, individuals, or groups. It is plausible that ToM-me...
As discussed by Austin (1980), the religious experience and the aesthetic experience have much in common; both trigger similar types of knowledge, both promote a similar process of self-unification and integration, and both motivate moral be-havior (though unspecified by Austin, such behavior may be related to ingroup cooperation). These similariti...
Aesthetic appeal may not be sufficient for a manipulator to circumvent the skepticism of would-be extended phenotypes. Better if a manipulator uses both aesthetic and epistemic states to manipulate a victim. However shaky on empirical grounds, the elegance and symmetry of Buddhist concepts such as re-incarnation and dependent origination provide ae...
The previous discussion of the evolved modes of transcen-dence may imply they are either fully functional early in de-velopment or that they are equally likely to be activated during the entirety of a persons lifespan. Both of these suppositions ’ are questionable. In an evolutionary reworking of Maslows ’ hierarchy of needs, Kenrick and Griskevici...
At worst, the transcendent experience manifests an illusory view of reality that is then exploited by manipulators. Yet, for such a hard-to-define experience, its pervasiveness in our species compels us to acknowledge both its pitfalls and its utility. There are two questions that must be answered when considering transcendent experiences: (1) how ...

This chapter explores the idea of transcendence, focusing especially on the possibility of our gaining contact with “higher energies” outside the perimeter of the self.
