Ralph Waldo Emerson <br />believed the concept... <br /> <br />that “God was in man <br />and in a sense <br />that God was man” <br /> <br />to individuals born <br />to achieve <br />the fulfillment of God’s <br /> <br />purpose! By working <br />towards attainment <br />of the divine or Over-Soul <br /> <br />throughout their lives... <br /> <br />Transcendentalism <br />according to Emerson <br />thus stresses spiritual realities <br /> <br />within the human embodiment <br />because our intuitive thoughts <br />could guide us to knowledge of <br /> <br />higher spiritual truth... <br /> <br />but not conceived as a versimilitude <br />of realism because a truthlikeness <br />as a quality of realism in arts literature <br /> <br />films is only a created slice of realism! <br /> <br />Emerson’s desire to focus upon objects <br />in nature that surround us <br />to reflect upon events occurring in our lives <br /> <br />and their universal purpose <br />(to attain knowledge of these events is Greek <br />observation) as an aid when <br /> <br />correctly applied for the advancement of human <br />evolution towards higher <br />planes of existence (in self advancement Buddhism?) <br /> <br />I however claiming blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ <br />shall ascend directly into Perfection in Heaven. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright © Terence George Craddock<br /><br />Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/transcendentalism-according-to-emerson/
