    Yes that bloke who used to chalk Eternity on the footpath is long gone. Mind you they show it during the NYE Fireworlks now, but only for a few moments. Then it’s gone.

    Dad told stories of building boats of tin and tar and rowing with four brothers under the near-completed coat hanger. That's transcendent.

    Seems like the above discussion is a repeat of what would have been said in relation to Bush being president some years back.

    There can be few things as frightening as watching a great nation crumble.Banno

    It had already started when they turned their thumbs down to Transcendentalism, which was in many ways a response to degradation in progress. Perhaps they ought to go back and revisit.

    What to you, qualifies as "a great nation"?

    The topic is still popular. I wrote a book on it and thousands of people have chosen to walk this spiritual path. Buddha had 'the eightfold path,' and Plato had 'the fourfold path.' This is a journey of transcendence that all truth seekers must take to discover enlightenment.
