Transcendentalism
From the "realist" point of view, I am a temporary and unnecessary form, the result of moving thoughts, passing from birth to death. But conventional "realism" is finally transcended in the point of view of Transcendental Realism, wherein form and thought are transparent in the Unborn.
From the point of view of exoteric "idealism," I am the creaturely servant of God and mankind. From the point of view of esoteric "idealism," I am an eternal being, a fraction of total light, cycling back through the planes of Nature to the Eternal Being Who is the God and Cause and Sun and Unity of all the rays. But conventional (or exoteric and esoteric) "idealism" is finally transcended in the point of view of Transcendental Idealism, wherein the separately individuated self is transparent in the Only Self.
From the point of view of Radical Transcendentalism, or the Way of the Heart, there is, simply and only, Radiant Transcendental Being—and self, mind, body, world, and God are not other than This, but all are inherently transparent when recognized as This Only.
