Transcendence is a multi-meaningful and multi-meaning word. Awe is the feeling in front of what is called transcendence. Redemption is the result of her choice, as it gives perspective to the impasse. Can there be transcendence without awe and redemption? But what is transcendence?
Transcendence for us, seen as a process, transcendence as an instantaneous and at the same time in continuous flow demand.
When it is not the first available option, one is never effortlessly led to it, it requires moving from the sense of injustice, from the role of the victim, from trapped patterns of interaction, from anger and rage... It requires one to believe deep inside that there is a way out of his personal impasses, to allow him to see light in the deep darkness of his life. And if he begins to reciprocate it, the road to transcendence is difficult, full of obstacles and tests, frustrations and relapses. The search for it involves fear, destabilization, agony, strain, insecurity.
Because what you are called to do in transcendence, is to create, to synthesize, to reshape in order to produce something new that does not exist in the quiver of his life.
