Hi,

Interesting. I'm not offended, although I am curious as to why you
view trancendence that way. Trancendent means "above and beyond"[1],
to me; whereas an orgasm is very "here and now". Could you explain
(further) how you came to view "trancendent" in the manner you do? (I
learned of the word in my religious studies class)
Yes. I hope this doesn't offend you...but the image which most
clearly comes to my mind when I think of the word "trancendent" is the
moment o[f] orgasm.

[1] In it's most literal form, since "trans" is above, beyond, crossing, or on the other side of, while "cendent" means rising up, ascending, etc. Thus transcendent is the high of the high, or the beyond above, or the ultra-distant.
