You feel a hunger for transcendence you can't satisfy

This hunger for the beyond is one I know in my bones, and I would not have you starve it or dismiss it. The hunger is a real appetite for a real food — we do not generally hunger for what cannot exist, and this deep hunger for transcendence, so widespread across humanity, suggests a real object however hard to reach, so take it as evidence, the appetite implying its food, not a cruel joke. Transcendence is glimpsed in moments, not possessed permanently — the experiences of awe and unity come and go as visitations, not permanent residences, so do not demand a permanent transcendence you cannot have and count yourself starving, but learn to receive the glimpses when they come without grasping to keep them. And transcendence is often found through immanence, not away from it — the mystics find the infinite in a grain of sand and the sacred in an ordinary face, so seek the beyond not only by escaping the world but by entering it deeply, attending to the ordinary until it opens into the extraordinary. Your hunger points true; where have you glimpsed the beyond?
