Transcendental is relating to a spiritual or nonphysical realm. When something is transcendental, it is beyond ordinary everyday experience. So, it might be religious, spiritual, or otherworldly but it transcends. Transcendence is the act of rising above something to a superior state. Transcendence comes from the Latin prefix trans-, meaning "beyond," and the word scandare, meaning "to climb." When you achieve transcendence, you have gone beyond ordinary limitations. Another extraordinary or beyond human experience of transcendent is talking to God which surpasses usual limits. Ego transcendence or self beyond ego is one kind of transcendence. This is the “I” of a person and distinguishing itself from the selves of others. Self-transcendence or beyond the self the other is another kind of transcendence. Many achieve self-transcendence through personal faith in God, while others recognize the idea of the soul. This is the belief that God is not part of the world that we know and cannot be fully grasped by human beings. This is because he is above and beyond the earthly things that we know of. The last known transcendence is spiritual transcendence which is beyond space and time. Spiritual transcendence refers to a perceived experience of the sacred that affects one's self-perception, feelings, goals, and ability to transcend one's difficulties. We are transcendent not because we are not finite but because we have the natural capacity to receive the influence of an infinite being directly and from within the dynamism of our acts rather than as mediated by finite beings other than ourselves. Transcendentalism is a very formal word that describes a very simple idea. People, men, and women equally, know themselves and the world around them that transcends or goes beyond what they can see, hear, taste, touch, or feel. Transcendence refers to the very highest and most inclusive or holistic levels of human consciousness, behaving and relating, as ends rather than means, to oneself, to significant others, to human beings in general, to other species, to nature, and the cosmos.
