“To transcend something is to go beyond it to the point of ceasing to identify
with it, so that it becomes an object of our awareness. When this process are
healthy, what’s been transcended is not excluded from our being (any more than
clouds are excluded from the sky), but rather is ‘repositioned’ and related to
in ways that serve our well-being. When transcendence is unhealthy, what has
been transcended is excluded from our being, resulting in escapism and
disconnection. Where healthy transcendence embraces what’s being transcended,
unhealthy transcendence avoids It, making a spiritual virtue out of rising
above whatever is deemed ‘lower’ or ‘darker’ elements of our nature. This is
dissociation disguised in holy drag.”
