It is self-evident that everything essential to life is present. Transcendence, which is the substratum and root of life, prior to all aspects of manifest being, is essential. Therefore, Transcendence is present.

If Transcendence does not seem present, then it is hidden by conditioned modes of perception, somewhat as certain aspects of an object are hidden by perceptual illusion. However, paradoxically, Transcendence is not an object of knowledge upon which one can focus one's attention.

If Transcendence is so immediately present, then why do only a relatively few individuals acknowledge Transcendence as their very being? The wise see that while some have the style of acknowledging Transcendence, others have the style of pretending to be separate from Transcendence.

Those who would understand Transcendence must be disposed to go all the way in their inquiry.

. . . 5 . . .
Transcendence is not to be sought as a solution to the various problems of manifest existence. The solutions to one's problems can be had without the understanding of Transcendence. Yet Transcendence offers its own unique value.

. . . 6 . . .
Those who would understand Transcendence must be willing to acknowledge all of the games they are playing. Yet the understanding of Transcendence is not found by aversion to games. Aversion is itself a game.

One plays games for enjoyment.
