    Transcendent Emanation

    The Universe, life, evolution, and everything in its natural order is a manifestation of the transcendent. This continual manifestation can be described as a transcendent emanation where every thing that comes forth has a source. The transcendent is beyond being and non-being; it is asymptotically beyond human comprehension. Science is the study of this manifestation. Spirituality is the acceptance of the transcendent nature of emanation. Science and Spirituality are two parallel paths to discovering the nature of reality. Its as simple as that.
