As in attaining some sort spiritual communion with the Supreme Intelligence .a direct channel to salvation
being a muslim, we learn that in Sufism ( the esoteric teaching of Islam ) this concept is taught as the ultimate purpose of human existence, "knowing" God, which is according to Rumi( the famous whirling dervish) is within the reach of every man and woman.... though i am unclear as to the methods and so on and so forth
.
i understand also that it is an underlying metaphysical truth ready to be found in all major religions . so, as for the question,.....can someone explain to me what the heck exactly does it mean by "transcendence of the self"? is there such a thing? can i purchase it through Visa or Master?
and i'm not a shithead dogmatist posting loaded questions here people ,.... so everyone from all faiths or non faith feel free to offer your counter arguments , advise , counsel, rantings, abuse....whatever.
and Thank You in advance for your answers.
