Transcendicant
Transcendicant:
One who dedicates their life to continuous, incremental all-self-improvement
* To seek the highest state of self freedom
* To grow resilient enough to hold and learn from all experience: the undesired, the shameful, the confused
* To sit in the discomfort of ultimate uncertainty, incompleteness, wrongness and unknowing
* To observe shame as the instinct to hide one's wrongness from others and self
* To discern and accept the utility of self-stories, ego-delusion and social programming, the useful illusions
* To continously renew the facts and data of being and re-tell only the smallest story necessary to act in the world
* To discard unneeded illusions and imagine beyond today's useful illusions
* To create new ways of thinking, new ways of being, new useful illusions
* To be free of judgement of those who refuse to imagine beyond their current illusions
* To consider the inevitability of one's future wrongness in present actions
* To observe the wrongness that arises when a useful illusion justifies hurting others
* To love, accept and understand all conscious beings, including one's own self
* To observe anger as the instantaneous choice to refuse hurt
