Transcendence (religious) is a belief in something that is beyond our physical world. It’s something that can’t be seen or touched, but it is believed to be a higher power or spiritual being. Some people believe in God, a supreme being that created the universe and everything in it. Others believe in a higher power such as Nature, or a universal force of some kind. The goal of transcendence is to be able to connect with the spiritual realm and find inner peace and fulfillment.
