     Obviously, to the both of us, it is this word
transcend.  Hmmm, transcend, thinkin'...
     This is closer to what I'm viewin', especially
when that word comes up, and how I'm relating what I
think transcend means, to what I'm actually
experiencing.  I'm not caught in transcendence, as in
beyond any experience.  That's how I view the meaning
of transcendence (as something beyond the here and
now).  Yes, we experience changes, and yet, I'm
immanent, that is, here and now, always.  This is not
a strict perspective that is trying to invalidate past
and future.  I've experienced those, too.  Yet, it is
that those are being experienced in the here and now. 
Discontinuity occurs, and I notice past and future
compared to the here and now, but it is here and now
that I'll be able to differentiate past and future. 
So, I didn't want to get trapped into transcendence
meaning something I've yet to experience and something
I've yet to settle upon (the unsatisfactory aspect I
brought up).  We are as you state above:  "see(ing)
things differently and reveal another transcendence". 
I agree with this, when transcendence means, something
happening now and always, and thus, not too exciting,
not too boring - it is as it is, but new.  

     Is this making any sense?

thanks.
