The empirical and the transcendent are not ultimately a duality. Indeed the empirical is a subset of the transcendent. The empirical is the humanly-observable and a sensual aspect of the transcendent whole. We recognize the empirical—it’s obvious—but seldom recognize and embrace the transcendent, which encompasses the empirical.
In prior posts, I advocate that the two essential components of humans (of all existence, for that matter) are: 1) the empirical (our physical being, ego) and 2) the transcendent (life or soul). Only from the empirical perspective—where we recognize duality as an apparent reality—can these even be considered two separate components.
As we consider this concept, its truth becomes evident. The challenge we humans must embrace—if we’re serious about bringing peace to our world—is that the empirical perspective is erroneous in terms of the two being separate components. The absolute purpose of our existence is to recognize this truth—and accept the transcendent as vital. Peace manifests when a critical mass of humanity recognizes this from a transcendent perspective.
Isn’t it amazing how, even with conscious awareness of this most basic concept, we continue to define, justify, and defend our existence (our sovereign identity) based solely upon the minute aspect of life that is empirically observable?
Please offer your thoughts.
